Frequently asked questions

What is Power BI?

Power BI is Microsoft's powerful data visualisation tool that is commonly used for business analytics. With the ability to connect to data, clean and transform it, and create interactive dashboards, users can gain valuable insights to support informed decision-making. In our courses, you will gain hands-on experience using both Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service to create compelling visualisations. Learning Power BI has never been easier, and our courses will provide you with the skills you need to leverage this powerful tool effectively.

How difficult is Power BI Training?

The difficulty level of Microsoft Power BI courses can vary depending on factors such as prior experience with the Microsoft Power BI desktop itself, data analysis, familiarity with business intelligence concepts, and the depth of knowledge one aims to achieve. For beginners, Power BI training can present a learning curve as they navigate the platform's features, data modeling, visualisation techniques, and understanding DAX formulas. However, with the availability of comprehensive learning resources, official documentation, and training courses, individuals can gradually build their skills and proficiency in Power BI. The structured learning paths offered by Microsoft and the supportive online community further contribute to easing the learning process. With dedication, practice, and a willingness to learn, individuals can overcome the initial challenges and become proficient in leveraging Power BI effectively for data analysis and visualisation.

Will the content in these Power BI Courses be relevant for the workplace?

Our training courses for Microsoft Power BI are designed with a focus on real-world application, and our experienced course writers and trainers bring their industry backgrounds to the table to provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to achieve efficiency and productivity gains in your workplace. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that covers everything from the basics of visualisations to advanced data modelling and analysis, with an additional course for advanced users on the DAX language. By learning Power BI with us, you'll be equipped with the tools to create effective reports and dashboards, allowing you to excel with efficiency in your role.

How many students are typically in a Power BI Training Course?

At Nexacu, we deliver the highest quality of training where we strive to maintain a high level of quality instruction and foster active participation and dialogue. As such, we generally limit the number of students in each class to 5-8 individuals, with a maximum cap of 10. This approach ensures that you receive comprehensive and effective training, while also providing ample opportunities for asking questions and engaging in discussions with the instructor and fellow students. 

What is Remote Training?

Remote training means our team of experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. With remote learning, students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in discussions and share their screen with the trainer if they need help at any point in the course. Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions. Essentially, you will learn Power BI from our Microsoft-certified trainers online. 

I previously attended a course with Excel Consulting, will the training be similar?

Yes, we rebranded from Excel Consulting in October 2019. The business quickly outgrew its original name. Our new brand Nexacu, better reflects our direction, continued innovation and commitment to deliver next-level learning. We have continually refined and updated our courses while retaining our excellent trainers and delivering the same high-quality content.
