You have the option to participate full-time. In that case, the program typically lasts 7 weeks, and we assume a study load of 36 hours per week. If you participate part-time, we assume a study load of 16 hours per week, and the program lasts a total of 15 weeks. That said, you follow the Data & AI skills independently via our online learning platform. This means that you could potentially take longer over the Data & AI skills. That’s up to you. We strongly advocate for the pressure cooker model because it significantly increases your likelihood of completing the program. Of course, you are required to attend all live sessions (usually online and three times at a location) at set times. Once you have completed all modules, you schedule your official Microsoft exam yourself, whenever you are ready.

What was her experience?
“I attended a previous Power BI training from Techionista Academy. That was incredibly fun to attend. The group was diverse, so different perspectives were covered. The storytelling part had extra added value because you can apply that outside of Power BI. In the end, a good foundation was laid to build beautiful, clear reports and dashboards.”
