The content of the course was difficult for me to understand. However, the trainer's support and the course materials made learning easier.

3 / 5
Perhaps fell short of expectations because it was too 'wide-ranging', but this was clearly mentioned in the development of the course. Global vision of the 3 supports Power Pivot - Power Query and Power BI but not enough application 'before' in the resources part; structure of the data to be analysed etc... To apply it on a daily basis.

The course would have benefited from more hands-on time, with more short practical exercises to help participants gradually grasp the concepts. The kindness, availability and goodwill of the trainer are to be commended; he remained attentive to the needs of the participants despite the technical constraints.
