What participants say

De Power BI Kickstart Training van Frank zal ik echt aanraden, aan iedereen die nog niet bekend is met Power BI of graag een goede basis wilt gaan opbouwen. De training wordt stap voor stap uitgelegd, op een duidelijke en rustige manier. Je krijgt niet alleen uitgelegd wat je moet doen, maar ook waarom je bepaalde stappen op die manier uitvoert.
