Absolutely great course for Power BI beginners. It explained to me how everything works and I'm excited to continue with the SQL course from the same guy. Thank you!

By Voiculescu Elena-Corina on 11/7/2020

I think the course is very well explained and really goes back and forth what you need. the only thing I believe is missing is the fact that the users should have more overview about the product (who uses it, for what, examples etc, like you were brand new to Power Bi) Otherwise, this course is great I found it very useful for me.

By Sunny Arora on 11/7/2020

Nice hands on experience by working on projects along with learning about Power BI. Great instructions and guidance which were easy to follow and implement on the case study projects along with training. Thank you so much Marven for providing a great learning experience.

By Colin Sheridan on 11/7/2020

Excellent. Provided a really thorough grounding in the topic, with a little humor sprinkled here and there. Although, the fact the product has continued to evolve since the course was originally recorded did make it slightly confusing at times, Chris did a good job of documenting the differences. Still a great experience.
