What my students say?

Love it when an instructor is just as excited about a technology as I am!

Gina Meronek, Data Engineer at Altra Industrial Motion

Don't let the "data analyst" title of this certification fool you. This is definitely applicable and interesting for engineers and architects. The content covers not just what's possible, but why and where you'd apply these solutions, both for modern data processing and content distribution. Nikola has great techniques for reinforcing learning in a friendly way, and the content is organized to anticipate your "but why would I do that / why should that matter" questions too. He's truly a marvelous trainer... I love it when an instructor is just as excited about technology as I am, and Nikola brings his full enthusiasm and empathy to the course.

Look no further to level up your enterprise data analytics skills!

Elena Drakulevska, Data Analyst

I had the privilege to be among the first ones who took this course and it exceeded my expectations! The course was comprehensive, covered all the necessary theory, complemented with real-life examples and case-studies. The way Nikola uses analogies makes it so much easier to remember everything and his wit makes learning fun. If you would like to level up your data analysis skills in the enterprise world, I can honestly say look no further!

Wait! There is more...

FAQ

  • How much time should I spend on this course?

    It's up to you! You can watch all the content in one day, although I suggest you better split it across at least one week to better digest various concepts and solutions

  • Will I have lifetime access to the course?

    Yes! Absolutely! It's yours, so feel free to revisit the content if and when necessary

  • What if Microsoft releases the update to the course curriculum?

    I plan to keep the course up to date. Once you bought the course, you'll automatically get FREE access to all the future updates

    Feel free to get in touch directly at: [email protected]. I'm happy to support you with some nice discounts

  • Will I get the certificate to showcase it to my peers?

    Yes! Once you finish the course, a nice-looking certificate is waiting for you and you can add it to your LinkedIn profile or share it through other social media

  • I'm new to Power BI. Is this course for me?

    Well, honestly, I don't want to trick you into this course then. This course covers advanced Power BI topics, so you should be better off starting with PL-300 (Power BI Data Analyst) certification, before taking this course

  • I'm new to Azure Synapse Analytics. Is this course for me?

    Yes! We are starting from the basics and gradually leveling up our Synapse skills. It's even better if you had some exposure to other Microsoft data products in the past, such as SQL Server, for example

  • Why should I learn from YOU?

    Fair question! I've been working with Microsoft Data Platform for many (really many) years and have a lot of real-life experience in this area. I've been also recognized as a Microsoft Data Platform MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer. Finally, I myself obtained the DP-500 certificate while it was still in beta, and recently renewed it. I'm also a certified Azure Data Engineer (DP-203) and Power BI Data Analyst (PL-300). If you're still not sure, feel free to check my blog data-mozart.com, where I already shared a lot of DP-500 content.

  • What if I'm not satisfied with the course?

    Fair point! If you feel that course is not meeting your expectations, you have up to 7 (seven) days to ask for a refund. You'll get a 100% refund without asking any questions
