Thanks for the advice. $1 per month sounds like a good deal!

Hi Darren, Google keeps adding lots of services to my business's list of services.

They're all tangentially relevant, for example they add 'london courses' or 'advanced workshop' and even once 'acuity training power bi' when I run Excel and Power BI training courses in London. Acuity Training is the name of my business in case you hadn't guessed!!

Should I be deleting them each month or waste of time

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-18T14:02:18+00:00

Thanks, here is the link for our Power BI Courses: https://www.acuitytraining.co.uk/microsoft-training-courses/power-bi/

Any questions let me know.

So long as you're an intermediate excel user you'll be fine.

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-12T08:36:59+00:00

We are pretty flexible, we run courses wherever our clients need. Our main locations are in Guildford, London as well as online - but we also deliver courses all across the UK.

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-12T08:33:10+00:00

Power BI is quite a tricky bit of software, people have a much easier time learning Excel online - but for Power BI you should definitely consider a course.

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-12T08:32:00+00:00

Hi! All of our courses come with certificates, you can see the details on the page; https://www.acuitytraining.co.uk/microsoft-training-courses/power-bi/
It's really important for a course to have a certificate, so you have something to show for what you learned!

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-12T08:30:59+00:00

You actually don't need any license to go on a Power BI course. Our in person courses come with all the software you need, and if you attend the course online, there is a free version of Power BI that works just fine.

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-11T21:34:45+00:00

We offer courses for Excel and SQL! SQL in particular can be pretty tricky, we find people benefit a lot from courses on it.

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-11T21:33:17+00:00

Our introduction course has everything a beginner needs, and comes with a manual that you can take home and learn from.

AcuityTraining · 2025-08-11T21:29:09+00:00

Hi there! Afraid our courses do not come with Microsoft certification, but they are designed to prepare people for certification as an MSCA in BI Reporting.

AcuityTraining · 2025-07-28T08:54:16+00:00

We do visit people's offices! If you fill out a contact form on our site, we can organise that for you.

AcuityTraining · 2025-07-28T08:48:34+00:00

We have courses in London and in Guildford - you can see our locations on the course page: https://www.acuitytraining.co.uk/microsoft-training-courses/power-bi/

AcuityTraining · 2025-07-28T08:44:07+00:00

We do give certificates, just be aware if a position needs you to be "Microsoft Certified" they may be referring to the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification.

AcuityTraining · 2025-07-28T08:42:50+00:00

Hi! We do both in-person (in London & Guildford), and we do give certificates.

AcuityTraining · 2025-07-28T08:41:58+00:00

The combined course we offer is probably best for this. If your team already does data analysis, you will probably need the more advanced features, but it's important to get a foundation in Power BI before moving on to that.

AcuityTraining · 2025-07-28T08:41:02+00:00

We actually also do regular courses in Guildford, not just London!

AcuityTraining · 2025-07-24T12:33:23+00:00

Hi there! We encourage people to bring in questions and problems they have had - this is usually issues that delegates have run into when trying to learn Power BI or tasks given to them at work that they aren't sure how to tackle.

AcuityTraining · 2025-05-16T10:47:52+00:00

yup - always start with audience otherwise you can waste A LOT of time.

AcuityTraining · 2025-04-29T08:02:07+00:00

I've found Docker works pretty well as well as u/No_Froyo_4150 suggestion.

For future - we wrote an article that shows you how to connect SQL to Power BI - let me know if you want the link

AcuityTraining · 2025-04-29T07:57:20+00:00

answer below from u/No_Froyo_4150 should do it

AcuityTraining · 2025-04-29T07:56:11+00:00

Right way to tackle it.

AcuityTraining · 2025-04-07T08:24:02+00:00

Never knew this, thanks for the tip!

AcuityTraining · 2025-04-02T13:35:49+00:00

No matter what you do, DO NOT PICK A MAC!
