    I will give 5 star. The way the course started at a very basic level and then reaching the main content to explain the subject is truly exceptional and appreciable. The enjoyed the learning.

    The proffessour is kind of boring , also the information is so repetitive and not focused ... Its better to have more examples of how to use excel before the different assignments.

    Too much theory and too little practice, it feels like the same stuff is being repeated over and over again and it's hard to wrap your mind around what exactly is learning about.

    It was alright. However, there were way too many readings and way less videos. Readings are boring, videos are interesting.

    It focused a lot on theoretical aspects and it could've contained more Lab exercises.

    This is a great course if you are new to how data is gathered, used, the ETL process, etc. However, I am 5 weeks into this program and there has been VERY little use of the Power BI application. Instead, the modules tell you the processes for data transformation, ETL, how data can help the business, etc, then tells you to use Power BI for these tasks. At the end of the week, there is an online document that has links to the Microsoft website for Power BI How To's that explain everything. I would be better off with a Power BI book. Better use of time and money.

    This course is surprisingly poor. It is mostly fluff videos with too few hands-on assignments. One of the assignments had confusing instructions so I had to try to look up the way forward on my own only to find that the assignment was a word-for-word copy of a Medium article. The lack of assignments makes the coursework more difficult to grasp and the overly-long videos make the course tedious. I'm considering just finding a different Power BI course altogether since this is no more useful than Youtube and Google.

    This is more like a long series of promotional\commercial videos rather than practical tutorial. Instructed by different persons, the course lacks integrity and they go back and forth between different topics and repeat a lot of things multiple times. Some parts are tooo much basic and some parts are too advanced. A much shorter course in Udemy was much more helpful for me.

    This course could have been better. I did not like how they mention a number of tools, don't give you the hand on experience, yet ask you a bunch of questions about it e.g., DAX, Power Query. The title of the course is also misleading. I barely used Power BI and was instead asked to use Excel for some exercises.

    Two courses in (out of eight) and I have serious doubts this is going to actually help me at all for the Microsoft certification exam... The content and the format so far are rather disappointing. Thinking of pursuing the (free) self-study option on the Microsoft Learn site instead.

    It was confusing that we didn't substantially use PowerBI at all in this course, but instead worked on data preparation and review in Excel. I wouldn't have taken the course if I knew there was very little focus on practical use of PowerBI

    I think this presenter is terrible, he speads up his speech cadence when a key term is needed and slows down when he repeats or says something that has no importance, please find another presenter

    The course was far too basic and did not meet my expectations at all. The name is misleading, as it does not cover any topics related to Power BI. Instead, the content kept repeating the same old Excel and data fundamentals throughout all three modules. If you're looking to learn about Power BI, this course is definitely not for you. Save your time and look for a course that actually delivers on its promises.

    Program description should add warnings for learner before they enrol: - PowerBI desktop is not available for MacOS - Web version PowerBI requires school or corporate email for registration - This course requires using the PowerBI program to complete, and there are no alternative offered (unlike the Google courses that offering VM or other publicly accessible alternative for learners)
