Sample Certificate

Requirements

The pre-requisites for starting the Microsoft Power BI training are as follows:

Basic knowledge of analytics and business intelligence concepts and tools: Basic knowledge of business analytics tools and BI concepts is a must if you are targeting learning the Microsoft Power BI course. This would be an added advantage, as you would then know the basics and the underlying history behind the use of certain tools and techniques that are mentioned in the course. Analytics is all about dealing with data, and business intelligence is about representing that meaningful set of information through reports, graphs, and other techniques. The Microsoft Power BI tool helps you leverage those two features and hence, prior knowledge of these concepts is a good to have.
A passion or a zeal to learn: This is one of the critical questions when you are a newbie to learning this or any other technology. Unless and until you possess the zeal or enthusiasm to learn a new technology or tool, it’s going to be a tough journey.
Basic knowledge of programming languages: This point holds when you are willing to learn any new technology or skill. A new programming language gives you an added advantage over everybody else as you will be able to understand the concepts in a much better way.
Background about your job: This point will aid you in relating to things that you study. For example, if your job is in a bank, then you can easily relate to the account related fraudulent transactions in the history of the bank, so on and so forth.
