HOW THE TRAINING WORKS
Understand. Ask AI. Verify. Present.
Students learn enough Power BI, Power Query, modelling and DAX to understand what the system is doing. Copilot reduces repetitive work and formula memorisation, but every measure, visual, answer and summary is checked before use.
Understand
Learn the Power BI concept, its business use and what a correct result should look like.
Use Copilot
Ask Copilot or conversational AI to assist Power Query, DAX, report work, analysis or explanation.
Verify
Check calculations, relationships, filters, source totals and conclusions before presenting the output.
Present
Turn the checked analysis into a clear dashboard, management finding and recommendation.

TOOLS COVERED
Power BI + Copilot stack
Microsoft Power BI DesktopPower BI ServiceMicrosoft Copilot for Power BIPower QueryDAXMicrosoft Fabric context
Copilot access depends on the learner's Microsoft, Power BI and Fabric environment, licence, capacity, region and Microsoft's current product requirements. A free Power BI Desktop installation does not automatically include full Copilot access. Where direct access is unavailable, the trainer teaches the Power BI method and demonstrates an equivalent AI-assisted workflow.COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you apply
Do I need Power BI, Python or SQL experience?
No. The programme starts with Power BI foundations and does not require Python, SQL or coding.
＋Does Copilot create the entire report?
Copilot can assist with DAX, report work, questions and summaries, but learners must check the data model, calculations and conclusions.
＋Is Power BI Service included?
Yes. Publishing, workspaces, sharing, refresh, gateway, permissions and row-level security basics are included.
＋Will every Power BI Desktop user have full Copilot access?
No. Microsoft Copilot availability depends on the learner's Microsoft, Power BI and Fabric environment, licensing, capacity, region and Microsoft's current requirements. When direct access is unavailable for an exercise, the trainer teaches the underlying Power BI workflow and demonstrates an equivalent AI-assisted method.
＋Do I need coding experience?
No, unless the course level says otherwise. Your advisor will check the right starting level.
＋Are classes live or recorded?
Classes are trainer-led in the classroom or live online. Recordings may support revision but do not replace class.
＋Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. Course completion requires attendance, assignments and the final project.
＋Can working professionals join?
Yes. Weekday, weekend and selected fast-track schedules are available.
