FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I complete the course on a Mac?

Unfortunately Power BI does not directly support Mac devices. However, there are some workarounds where Mac users can consider running Power BI on a virtual Windows machine or installing Windows software on a Mac via Boot Camp.

How long will this course take me to complete?

The course is designed for students to complete around 2 modules per week, for a total of 4-5 weeks until course completion. However, the course can be completed at your own pace (faster or slower) and you'll have unlimited access to the materials.

How is this course different to other Power BI courses?

We have designed this course specifically for corporate business roles by using our internship and full-time experience at top-tier companies such as Tesla, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs. Other courses tend to fill their curriculums with theoretical and unrealistic work examples that don’t consider important real-world business factors. With this in mind, we’ve created our lessons in the course using real-life examples with our McDonald’s Sales Report and Nike P&L Finance Dashboard. We also include an interactive discussion forum to help students with additional inquiries.

Do I need to pay for Power BI software?

Nope. You can complete the entire course using Microsoft’s FREE Power BI Desktop App. You can download the app by searching for it in your computer’s Microsoft Store or by going to https://powerbi.microsoft.com/downloads/

What level of Power BI do I need?

The course is designed for all levels of Power BI users. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced user, there's something to be learned for everyone!

Is this course accredited?

Yes, this course is accredited by the CPD Certification Service. Career Principles is a certified CPD member.

What are the pre-requisites for this Power BI course?

You don’t need any prior business or technical knowledge. All you need is a computer with Excel and Power BI.

How long will I have the course materials for?

You will have lifetime access to the lessons and materials. The course can be taken on both smartphone and computer.
