Data Visualisation
This course is designed for beginners who want to master Microsoft Power BI, a powerful tool for data analysis and visualisation. You will learn how to connect data sources, create interactive dashboards, and generate insights using Power BI’s key features, including Power Query, DAX functions, and data modelling.
Through hands-on exercises, you’ll gain practical experience in transforming raw data into meaningful reports and visualisations, making it easier to analyse trends, track key metrics, and support data-driven decision-making. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to create professional business intelligence reports and dashboards for real-world applications.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you’ll learn in this beginner Power BI course:
You will explore the Power BI interface, understand its components (Power BI Desktop, Service, and Mobile), and learn how to set up your first project.
This module covers how to connect Power BI to various data sources, clean and transform data using Power Query, and prepare it for analysis.
You will learn how to structure data models, define relationships between tables, and optimise data for better performance and analysis.
This module introduces you to Power BI’s visualisation tools, teaching you how to build interactive charts, graphs, and dashboards to represent data effectively.
You will explore Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) to create calculated columns, measures, and advanced data aggregations for deeper insights.
In the final module, you will learn how to publish reports to Power BI Service, share dashboards with teams, and set up automatic data refresh for real-time insights.
You will discover how to create custom brushes, apply artistic effects, and enhance your designs with Illustrator’s wide range of creative tools.
In the final module, you will complete a hands-on project that applies all the skills you’ve learned, helping you build a strong portfolio piece that demonstrates your Illustrator expertise.

Both course content and instructor knowledge is exceptional – fresh, engaging and relevant. The ongoing support that Big Rock Designs provides is a real plus. I plan to attend future courses and would recommend other do too!

Although my Photoshop knowledge was very limited, I found the organised sessions very easy to follow and I was over the moon at the amount I had learned. I’m looking forward to putting it all into practice in the coming months ahead.

As someone who has attended numerous digital workshops and training I can honestly say Big Rock Academy’s introduction to Photoshop was the best I’ve ever experienced. They excelled in teaching us the logic behind the main tools in a very easy to understand way.

I just completed the Advanced Photoshop course at Big Rock Academy and I’m extremely pleased with what I’ve learnt. I now feel equipped to put it into practice in my job. I had a great teacher and I was able to really get to grasps with the software very quickly.
