“I took the Power BI Fundamentals 2-day class and it was fantastic. I learned everything I needed to be up and running with Power BI over the course of the class. The instruction was clear and concise, the materials are great, and they provide a ton of great information to continue learning after the class. I'd recommend CSG (now Skypoint) to anybody and I'll be back for more classes.”
