(Contact G Com Solutions on 0800 998 9248 for further information.)

The BI Reporting certification does not have a wide range of exam options to choose from, unlike most MCSA qualifications. However, it does provide an opportunity to demonstrate that you are a Microsoft self-service BI specialist.  The certification is designed to prove your expertise in analyzing data using Microsoft Power BI and Excel; and requires two exams:

  • 70-778 Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Power BI
  • 70-779 Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Excel

This instructor-led workshop is aimed at specialists in data analysis, data science, and business intelligence, who wish to validate and demonstrate their knowledge by obtaining the relevant Microsoft certification.

Delegates on this course will need to be familiar with the essentials of data analysis, databases and cloud computing; as well as the key elements of Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service. The topics covered on the course will be mainly at the intermediate and advanced level. Delegates will also need to be native English speakers or speak English fluently.

This Power BI certification course provides in-depth coverage of all of the topics which you will need to master in order to pass both Exam 70-778: Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Power BI and Exam 70-779: Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Excel.

The training is very much hands-on; and delegates will be given numerous opportunities to complete real-world, practical projects.
