Learn How Business Intelligence Works End to End
A lot of BI training focuses almost entirely on dashboards. Dashboards matter, but they are only one part of the job.
In real BI work, you need to understand where the data comes from, how it is structured, how to clean and prepare it, how to query it, and how to present it in a way that helps people make better decisions.
Data Sources
Understand where business data comes from and how different sources fit together.
Preparation
Clean, structure, and prepare data so it can actually be used for analysis.
SQL & Databases
Query, join, filter, and transform data using SQL and relational databases.
BI Tools
Build dashboards and reports in tools like Data Studio, Power BI, and Tableau.
AI-Assisted Workflows
Use AI to support scripting, automation, documentation, analysis, and other practical BI tasks.
Insights
Turn dashboards into useful explanations, recommendations, and business understanding.
Portfolio
Present your projects clearly so employers or clients can understand what you can do.
Build a Portfolio That Shows What You Can Actually Do
It is not enough to say you have learned BI. You need practical work that shows how you apply those skills.
The BI Analyst Starter Program includes more than five projects based on realistic business scenarios, including three major dashboard projects built with Data Studio, Power BI and Tableau.
You will also complete additional practical work, including the Pizza Restaurant project and the Snuzzles Mystery project.
