This five day Power BI bootcamp takes you from Power Query and data modeling to DAX, reports and Copilot, and prepares you for PL-300 and PL-900: two Microsoft certifications in one week. Join live online or on campus in Florida, from $3,995 with both exam vouchers included.
This Power BI bootcamp takes you from raw data to published, secured reports in one week and prepares you for the PL-300: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst exam. Over five days of live, instructor led training you connect, clean and transform data with Power Query, build data models and write DAX, design reports and dashboards people actually use, work with Copilot in Power BI, and manage and secure what you publish. You sit the PL-300 exam while you attend and earn Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate.
The bootcamp also includes PL-900: Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals, so you leave with a second certification and a working view of the platform Power BI sits in.
Audience:
This Power BI training is built for people who turn available data into decisions: business and data analysts, reporting specialists, finance and operations staff who have outgrown spreadsheets, and BI developers who want the certification to match the work. Microsoft describes the role as working with business stakeholders to identify requirements and with data engineers to acquire data, then preparing, modeling, visualizing and securing it in Power BI.
Microsoft expects PL-300 candidates to be proficient in Power Query and DAX. Some experience building reports in Power BI or working with data in Excel will help you get the most from the week. If you are newer to DAX, come ready to practice it hard during the camp.
The PL-300 course follows the four skill areas Microsoft measures on the exam:
