"I just completed virtual training with The Great Canadian Training & Consulting Company today... "Fundamentals of Power BI". Before the training I had zero knowledge or experience using Power BI. Today I feel comfortable enough to create my own tables, graphs, calculations, etc. The course offers a very good foundation/starting point. And my instructor Warren was very patient and knowledgeable and open to receiving and responding to any questions at every step of the training. Totally recommend company and course:)"
