Hello:

I hope you won’t regard this question as inappropriate; that’s not my intent. I’m trying to obtain informed opinion.

I’ve been using PowerBI for the last two months writing standard reports for a friend.

I’ve had a long career in IT, including all phases of the software development life cycle. Throughout my career, there has been an emphasis on business information – data structures, report writing, querying data bases, etc.

Here are my questions:

1. Has anyone taken the black belt series of certifications I’ve seen advertised on this site? If so, what is your opinion of it?

2. At which point in the series (blue belt, purple belt, brown belt, black belt), does someone become qualified to do PowerBI work? I know there’s no definitive answer here, but all things being equal.

Thank You.

John Giles

I recently completed the Black Belt series. For reference, I work in finance and have an analytical background. I found the training well presented and useful. The way the instructor presented the material was easy for me to understand and forced me to think about PBI in a way I had not previously. It was the push I needed to dive deeper into writing DAX. It also helped me think about various ways to visualize the data and present those findings. Part of my job is to support my organization’s use of Power BI, by completing the training, I am better able to do my job.
