Data Training
Practical Power BI, advanced Excel, and data analysis courses. Not abstract theory: we work with your company's real data and problems.
Why this training is different
Most courses on tools like Power BI or Excel teach functions and buttons. The participant leaves knowing how to make a bar chart, but doesn't know how to apply it to their real work.
I do things differently: before we start, I meet with you to understand what problems you have, what data you manage, and what decisions you need to make. Then I design the course using those real examples.
Traditional training
- • Generic textbook examples
- • Made-up data
- • Focused on functions and menus
- • Monday you're back at work and don't know where to start
My approach
- • Examples from your industry or company
- • Your real data (anonymized if needed)
- • Focused on solving business problems
- • Monday you already have something working
Available courses
Power BI for business users
From zero to creating useful dashboards. Data connection, basic modeling, visualizations, and publishing. Designed for managers, analysts, and anyone who needs to make decisions with data.
Advanced Excel for data analysis
Pivot tables, lookup functions, array formulas, Power Query for automating data cleaning. For those who already use Excel but want to get more out of it.
Data analysis for decision making
Beyond the tools: how to frame business questions, choose what to measure, interpret data, and present conclusions effectively. Ideal for managers and team leaders.
Custom training
If no standard course fits what you need, we design one specifically for your team. Can combine topics, go deeper in specific areas, or focus on a concrete project.
What makes training effective
After years of corporate training, I've learned that what makes the difference isn't the amount of content covered, but how applicable it is to the participant's daily work.
My training approach:
- 1. We define the course objectives and relevant real-world problems
- 2. I customize examples using your data (or industry-specific data)
- 3. Participants work on exercises they can reuse at work
- 4. We build something practical during the training
- 5. Post-training support to answer questions that come up later
The result: participants leave with skills they can apply immediately, not just certificates to hang on the wall.
Training formats
On-site at your company
I come to your office with everything needed. Ideal for groups of 5-15 people. Allows working with your real data in the moment.
Advantage: Maximum customization, fewer distractions for participants.
Live online
Sessions via Zoom or Teams. Good for distributed teams or when in-person isn't possible. Just as interactive, with real-time exercises.
Advantage: Flexibility, no travel costs, easy to record.
Intensive format
2-3 consecutive days, full day. For when you need the team to learn quickly and apply immediately.
Best for: Projects with deadlines, new teams, initiative kickoffs.
Extended format
3-4 hour sessions, 1-2 times per week, over several weeks. Allows practicing between sessions and bringing real questions.
Best for: Habit change, deep adoption, busy teams.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can participate?
For it to be truly practical, I recommend groups of 5 to 12 people. More than 15 makes it difficult to give individual attention. If you have more people, we do parallel groups.
What do participants need to know beforehand?
For Power BI from scratch, they just need to know how to use a computer and basic Excel. For advanced Excel, they should know the basics (simple formulas, tables). I can do a preliminary assessment if there are doubts.
Do you provide support materials?
Yes. Each participant receives exercise files, a quick reference guide, and access to session recordings (for online format). I also include 30 days of email support for post-course questions.
How much does it cost?
Depends on the course and format. A 16-hour course for a group of up to 10 people starts from $4,500. I'll give you a specific quote after understanding what you need.
Can training be done in English?
Yes, all courses can be delivered in English or Spanish, depending on your team's needs. Materials and support are available in both languages.
