Why Power BI?

The dashboard standard
for finance and consulting work.

Power BI is the BI tool finance teams, FP&A, audit and advisory all run on. The gap between a usable report and a polished, decision‑ready dashboard is almost always fluency in Query Editor and DAX. This subject takes a learner from a blank canvas to advanced calculated measures, with three applied projects to lock the skill in.

See the learning outcomes

Dashboard zero to DAX advanced

One subject, full stack. Build your first dashboard in week one, write advanced DAX measures by week four. Beginner pace through the early courses, advanced topics for analysts who already know their way around.

Three projects, not just lectures

Real workplace projects: a furniture chain's delivery delays, a regional government's tax cohorts, an internet provider's customer complaints. Skills practised on the kind of data Power BI is built for.

A dedicated finance series

Most Power BI training is generic. This one has a course built specifically for financial statements, plus an end‑to‑end software company case study. Power BI for the work, not for the demo.

Credentials that stand up

Every milestone is independently accredited by CPD, CPE and NASBA, so what learners earn here counts towards continuing professional development.

Learning Outcomes

What learners will be able to do
by the end of the program.

Every outcome is mapped to a specific lesson and assessed through scenario‑based exercises. Learners walk away with practical skills they can apply on the next client engagement, deal review or board pack.

Bite‑sized lessons

Most lessons run 5–10 minutes. Designed to fit between meetings, not block out a Tuesday afternoon. The result: 80% completion vs. a 7% industry benchmark.

Modular and stackable

Every course slots into a wider learning path. Pair Power BI with Visualization Fundamentals, Data Literacy, SQL or financial modelling as the team's needs grow.

Manager‑level visibility

Engagement and skill-gain dashboards from day one. Leaders see exactly where capability is building and where it isn't, by team and by role.

Who is this subject designed for? +

Finance and consulting professionals who use Power BI in real client work, plus anyone in audit, advisory, deals, tax, FP&A or risk who needs to read or build dashboards. The fifteen courses and projects are pitched at every level: complete beginners through to analysts moving up to advanced DAX. No prior Power BI experience required to start.

How much time does it take? +

Roughly thirty hours of content across fifteen courses and projects, worth 25.5 CPE/CPD credits. Most learners complete the full subject across six to ten weeks of casual study, picking the series that map to their role rather than running every item end to end.

Do I need a Power BI background? +

No. The first series starts from a blank Power BI Desktop and works up. Comfortable with Excel is enough. Analysts who already use Power BI typically jump in at the Query Editor and DAX series; advanced users go straight to the projects and the finance and online‑service series.

Where does this fit in the wider Kubicle library? +

Power BI is a single subject inside the wider Kubicle library, which also covers Tableau, SQL, Excel, Visualization Fundamentals, Data Literacy, AI literacy, financial modelling and project management. Many teams pair Power BI with Visualization Fundamentals to build the principles foundation that makes a Power BI report worth opening twice, or with SQL to go deeper on the data side.

Are the credentials accredited? +

Yes. Kubicle credentials are independently accredited by CPD, CPE and NASBA. Every course and project awards CPE/CPD credits that learners can apply toward continuing professional development. Certificates are shareable on LinkedIn the moment they're issued.

Does this cover Power BI Desktop, the Online Service and DAX? +

Yes, all three. Series 1 and 2 work in Power BI Desktop. Series 2 covers the Query Editor and DAX from intro through to advanced functions and practical applications. Series 5 takes the rollout into the Power BI Online Service, with reports, refreshes and advanced data connections including APIs.

Will it integrate with our LMS and SSO? +

Yes. Kubicle offers off‑the‑shelf integrations with leading LMS providers and the engineering team will build a custom integration for any other system you run. SSO is supported across the board, and a Reporting API exposes engagement and completion data to your dashboards.

How is Kubicle secured? +

Kubicle is ISO 27001 certified, GDPR‑compliant, and undergoes regular third‑party penetration testing. Granular roles, SSO and audit logging are built in.

Can we get a tailored quote and pilot? +

Of course. Send an enquiry and a learning advisor will scope the rollout, recommend the right starting point for your team, and put together a pilot proposal with a tailored quote.
