A Power BI basic course for teams that report in Excel today and have never opened Power BI Desktop. In 12 hours they connect their own files, clean the data with Power Query, build a simple model that does not break, write their first DAX measures and publish a dashboard that refreshes on its own. No technical prerequisites: using Excel at work is enough.
It is the first level of our Power BI path: a 12-hour program that takes a person from zero to their first published dashboard. Participants install Power BI Desktop, connect Excel and CSV files, transform them with Power Query, build a data model with two or three related tables, write sum, count and percentage DAX measures and design clear visuals. At the end, each participant publishes a dashboard to the Power BI service and shares it with their area. If your team already masters this, the Power BI intermediate course starts where this one ends.
The exact duration is in the first card. It runs on-site at your company, live virtual for teams in several locations or self-paced on the platform; every participant who meets attendance and assessment receives a DC-3 certificate with the STPS, and Geedle Bot answers questions afterwards with the exact minute of the recording.

Proposal with three scope options and a closed price in under 24 business hours
Three independent levels, each with its DC-3; hire one or chain them as a learning path.
Learning objectives observable on the job.
Know the three views (report, data, model), the fields pane and the workflow of a report.
Import Excel and CSV, remove empty rows, change data types, split columns and append several sheets into one query.
Relate a fact table to its lookup tables, understand filter direction and avoid ambiguous relationships.
SUM, COUNT, DIVIDE and percentage measures; pick the right visual, use slicers and publish the dashboard to the service.
Six modules in order, each with a deliverable you apply in your operation the following week. Exercises use real files and cases from your organization, each module's assessment is recorded on the platform and serves as evidence for the DC-3 certificate.
Power BI Desktop, service and mobile app; differences with Excel; the connect-transform-model-visualize-publish flow; review of the files each participant brings.
Map of the dashboard to buildExcel, CSV and folder sources; preview, table navigator and good practices so you never depend on a file on someone's desktop.
Connected sourcesData types, removing duplicates and errors, fill down, split and merge columns, appending sheets and reusable applied steps.
Clean, documented queryFact and lookup tables, one-to-many relationships, calculated column versus measure, a basic calendar table.
Model with 3 related tablesSUM, COUNTROWS, DIVIDE, percent of total, formatted measures and a measures folder; typical mistakes of people coming from Excel.
Catalog of 8 measuresCards, bars, lines and tables; slicers, interactions, color theme; publish to the service and share with the area.
Published, shared dashboardJunior analysts, administrative staff, coordinators and area managers who receive data in Excel and build reports by hand every week: sales, inventory, payroll, quality, customer service or government indicators. Also for university and public-sector teams that want to move from static tables to interactive dashboards without hiring a specialist. No database or programming knowledge needed; if you use Excel every day, you can take this course.
A published dashboard with real data from your operation that refreshes from the source file, with three to five indicators that are calculated by hand today. The team stops copying and pasting between sheets, shares a single report per area and understands the full Power BI flow: connect, transform, model, visualize and publish. And they know exactly what is left for the intermediate level: DAX with CALCULATE, time intelligence and multi-source models.
Request the proposal for the power bi basic course: three scope options with a closed price in under 24 business hours.
Sales, operations, finance and HR dashboards that refresh on their own and that management opens every Monday without asking for a new Excel. We work with your real data and leave the model documented. See how we apply it in courses for manufacturing and industry.
Institutional indicators (enrollment, dropout, graduation, teacher evaluation) consolidated from the student system and surveys into one model with security by faculty. We chain it with the courses for university administrative staff.
Dashboards for program indicators, citizen service and budget execution, with row-level security by agency and training records ready for the comptroller. It is part of the courses for government and the public sector.

Geedle Bot is trained on the syllabus, materials and recordings of your course. Participants ask in plain language and get an exact answer, not a generic one.
All of them issue a DC-3 certificate and leave records on the platform; what changes is how people practice and how the calendar is organized.
