The topics were more analyst-appropriate for new analysts and setting up data structures, not actual AI -focused. Data structures and analysis are baseline pre-requisites for my role, not areas of development.

I have understood the importance of this course very deeply. I got a source of inspiration and learned a lot by watching this course. Whatever review I have given, I have given it after thinking about it and using my own understanding.

A lot of content to understand for someone without business knowledge.

By Tommarcus Radam on 3/4/2026

All of the lectures were comprehensive. I'm currently rendering my internship at the moment and the lessons really helped me answer my action blocks that helped me move on my tasks. Video lectures were detailed enough for me to follow.

By Anonymized User on 2/21/2026

The course is very well designed, and the content is explained clearly. However, I rated it 2 stars because only one dataset was uploaded, and the other files were not shared. It’s difficult to practice step by step when the necessary resources are not provided properly. I hope the missing files can be shared so learners can fully benefit from the course.

By Marcus Hill on 2/5/2026

I found this Power BI course to be incredibly comprehensive; it really dives into the details. The instructor's explanations of DAX were particularly helpful, and I feel much more confident in my ability to build complex models now.

By Olivia Carter on 2/5/2026

I found this Power BI course to be incredibly thorough, covering everything from basic concepts to advanced techniques like DAX and Microsoft Fabric. The real-world examples were particularly helpful in understanding how to apply these skills in a practical setting, and I feel much more confident in my Power BI abilities now.

By Ryan Anderson on 1/10/2026

I found the course to be pretty comprehensive, especially the section on DAX; it really helped me understand the fundamentals. The real-world examples were great, although I felt the pace was a bit fast at times.

By Michael Anderson on 1/10/2026

I found the Power BI bootcamp to be quite comprehensive, though the initial learning curve was a bit steep. Personally, I think the DAX section could have used a bit more introductory material before diving into complex patterns.
