Course Description
Exam PL-300: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst, referred to here as the PL-300 Exam, is for business professionals working with data in Power BI. It is conducted by Microsoft, as outlined on the official Microsoft Learn site.
The term Power BI covers a very broad set of tools that allow for the creation of Power BI reporting databases, analysis of data, and then sharing the insights in a controlled way. Microsoft has developed the PL-300 exam to test the breadth of knowledge of business users so they can be certified as a “Power BI Data Analyst Associate”.
The Microsoft PL-300 exam does two things: it helps business users confirm they are competent across the breadth of Power BI, and it helps employers objectively validate the skills of current and potential employees.
This advanced training is created and delivered by eight-time Power BI MVP Matt Allington, a world-renowned Power BI expert, trainer, and author of the best-selling book Supercharge Power BI. The on-demand video training content comprises of illustrations, examples, and demo’s that will help you understand the breadth of the exam, identifying which topics you are competent in and which areas you need to spend more time preparing for prior to sitting the exam.
