Who it's for

Who the course is for

  • People who can already build a basic report.
  • Before the course we recommend a short knowledge test. It's optional, and we use it to adjust the program so nobody sits through material they already know.

What the course covers

Choosing visuals
Which visual best answers a given question. How to make good use of even the “forbidden” visuals, such as the donut chart.
Page structure
How to build a hierarchy of questions and what the user should find on the report, so the page tells the story of the data (data storytelling).
Colors
Color as a carrier of information, conditional formatting done right, and accessibility.
Detailed visual settings
What options each visual has and how best to use them to tell the story at hand.

FAQ

What you ask us most

Can you train us on our own data?
Yes, if we agree on the data before the training. The price is the same with or without your data. From experience we go for your data, because people know it and work with it more easily.
Can the course run online?
Yes, in person or online. The program is the same, the exercises are just split into shorter blocks.
How many people can attend?
We recommend 12 at most, so there's time to go through the exercises with everyone. The price is per group and doesn't depend on headcount.
Do we get a certificate?
We don't issue certificates. Anyone who takes the knowledge test before and after the course sees their progress in numbers. For the PL-300 certification, take our course PL-300 Exam Prep.
