PL-300T00: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Course
Statistics and Array manipulation, Khobeib was able to spend time working through specific analytical questions with us and demonstrate custom calculations and solutions to our questions. Khobeib was also able to adjust the training to our pace and level of understanding. Having worked with data for some time some of the intermediate level core subjects were not required. To his credit Khobeib took this on board and moved through the contents at a speed relevant to our knowledge and understanding.

I liked the mix between theory and hands-on work, the small class size, and how knowledgeable and fun the instructors were. Both instructors were always smiling and very personable. Even though each training session was long, the time (for me at least) often passed quickly because I found the material quite engaging.
