FAQs
Have a few questions on your mind? See below for some frequently asked questions. Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Can I learn Power BI in 2 months?
Although a focused course is an ideal route to learn it, self-learning is also encouraged. Here is a realistic timeline: Weeks 1-2 focus on Power Query and data modelling; Weeks 3-4 on DAX basics; Weeks 5-6 on visual design and storytelling; Weeks 7-8 on a capstone dashboard shared via the Power BI Service. Consistent practice is key.
Is Power BI enough to get a job?
It helps, but employers also expect SQL basics, Excel proficiency and the soft skill of framing insights for non-technical stakeholders. Pair Power BI ability with domain knowledge to stand out.
Is Power BI hard to learn?
The drag-and-drop canvas is beginner-friendly; the learning curve spikes at data modelling (relationships, star schemas) and DAX measure logic. Once those click, building dashboards feels natural.
