Instructors
All our educators work as consultants on “real” projects. Our knowledge is therefore not only theoretical, but it also stems from practical experience.
It means that we can guide you through the set-up of reports, design, models, and what you might need to know on your BI journey.
"Super presentation combined with hands-on exercises so things “stick” better. Extremely satisfying, but also hard to be on the school bench again :-)"
