Reviews about Business Intelligence Training
Koen Roks | WVS: Great training!René van der Toorn | PZEM: A good and clear understanding of the content of BI and everything involved in making BI take root in an organization. Also, how to make BI grow within an organization.
Verified Participant | Mijzo: My opinion is that this training is more suited for people who already have a solid foundation of BI, as I believe that’s when you can get the most out of it. I don’t really see it as a course for gaining basic knowledge. Because of that, I can’t properly assess the content.
Harm van Engeldorp Gastelaars | Foodbyte: It is a clear and comprehensive Business Intelligence course that covers everything related to BI and data-driven working from start to finish.
Jolanda van der Wardt | CAMOT B.V.: A good, inspiring comprehensive training that provides a complete overview of BI in a short time, covering everything from technology to organizational change, with practical applications, new developments, and plenty of interaction.
Merel Visser | The Creating Blackbird: You are guided in a calm manner from the basics of BI, through visualizations, to success factors, with group exercises along the way. A good mix of people from different sectors, each bringing diverse perspectives.
