Mott MacDonald
Data Engineer
The 2-day Power BI course I attended was the best software training event I have attended.
"The trainer, Jens, was obviously hugely passionate and knowledgeable about the software. ... Lunch at the local Italian restaurant in Bloomsbury was very nice too, lots of comments the portions were BIG....
The course also provided a huge reference manual for my future use and a support forum for 2 years which I anticipate will come in very useful as I already have a list of new questions to ask since completing the course."
