Live Online Microsoft Business Intelligence (MSBI) Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 30, 2026 · from USD 1,700
Managers need trusted figures quickly, yet data often sits in scattered systems and spreadsheets that disagree with one another. You start with data warehouse concepts, star schemas, fact and dimension tables and the role of each MSBI component. Integration sessions use SQL Server Integration Services to extract, transform and load data, with lookups, slowly changing dimensions, incremental loads and error handling. Analysis sessions then build multidimensional cubes and tabular models in SQL Server Analysis Services, with hierarchies, measures, KPIs and introductory MDX and DAX.
Reporting modules use SQL Server Reporting Services to create parameterised, drill-down and paginated reports, subscriptions and dashboards, and show how Power BI connects to the same models. Advanced sessions address partitioning, processing strategies, security roles, deployment and performance tuning across the stack. Labs follow a single business scenario end to end, from raw source files to a published report. BI developers, data analysts, ETL developers and DBAs building reporting platforms are the people it is designed for. You leave able to deliver a complete BI solution that gives decision-makers consistent, timely numbers they can act on.

About this course
The Microsoft Business Intelligence (MSBI) Training Course builds the specialist capability required to plan, deliver and evaluate microsoft business intelligence (MSBI) in demanding, fast-moving operating environments. As expectations around accountability, efficiency and demonstrable results continue to rise, organizations increasingly depend on staff who can apply structured approaches rather than improvise. This certified programme combines proven methodology with hands-on application, covering design and structuring, analysis and interpretation and the analytical techniques that underpin sound professional judgement.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how microsoft business intelligence (MSBI) is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for design and structuring, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
Training Objectives
Upon completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Design enterprise business intelligence architectures using MSBI technologies
