Hey you, are you responsible for implementing a BI solution that is future proof and allows for virtually infinite scaling? Do you recognize the qualities of Power BI as a state of the art reporting tool but feel limited by Power Query’s data transformation capabilities? Do you want to upgrade from a reporting environment to an integrated data analytics platform and leverage your SQL and Power BI skills in the process? Then stop looking, we got you covered!


What is it?

In our new training “Practical data warehousing with SQL in Azure” you will learn how to implement a practical and professional data warehouse solution from A to Z. We do this by following the Kimball dimensional data modeling principles for BI solutions. We build an analytics platform from a selection of Azure Data Services that together offer a rich and comprehensive suite of services, including data integration, data storage, data protection, data warehousing and data visualization.


You will get better at:
  • Kimball dimensional data modeling principles for BI solutions
  • Designing low-code pipelines that streamline your data traffic with Azure Data Factory
  • Shaping Azure Data Lake Gen 2 as the landing zone for your data sources
  • Writing SQL code in stored procedures for managing staged data transformations with Azure Sql Database
  • Securing connection strings and passwords with Azure Key Vault
  • Setting up fact and dimension tables that cook up the menu for self service analytics
  • Seamlessly plugging in Power BI on these datasets for creating insightful dashboards

What you must have:
  • Basic SQL knowledge (select, from, where, order by, group by, having, join, union, update, insert, delete, …)
  • Nice to have: The course is easier to follow if you already have some basic Power BI knowledge, or have are familiar with another BI tool.

Do you fit our brief? Then let’s get going!

Gerrit Van Even

BI Trainer for 4 years

What do you love about BI?
Ever since I was a child, I’ve had something with lists. I made neat overviews of my comic strip collection, my music collection, etc. I then combined these to find out which other comics would suit my preferences. My child’s brain was already triggered by data. And not much has changed since then; only more available data and better tools to do something useful with it.

What do you love about teaching?
Explaining complex thought patterns in an understandable way is like kneading a multitude of data streams into an accessible story that leads to insights. Witnessing the Aha-erlebnis of the students is simply priceless!
