The direct answer
EPC Group trains four audiences separately, because a report developer and a business user need different things from the same tool. Report developers learn Power Query, data modeling, DAX and security; business users learn to find, read and explore the reports built for them; super-users learn enough of both to support their colleagues; administrators learn tenant settings, capacity and monitoring.
Every track is taught on the organization's own reports and data, not on a sample file, as on-site workshops or virtual instructor-led sessions, and the developer courses align to Microsoft's PL-300 (Data Analyst) and DP-600 (Fabric Analytics Engineer) exams; the full course list is on the Power BI training page. PL-300 assesses four areas: preparing the data, modeling the data, visualizing and analyzing the data, and managing and securing Power BI (Microsoft Learn, Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate, accessed 2026-10-26). Training is usually tied to a rollout or a governance program, because Microsoft's adoption roadmap treats mentoring and user enablement as a core job of the Center of Excellence rather than a one-off event (Microsoft Learn, Microsoft Fabric adoption roadmap, accessed 2026-10-26).
Tracks
| Audience | Focus | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Report developers | Power Query, data modeling, DAX, row-level security; PL-300 and DP-600 alignment | On-site or virtual instructor-led |
| Business users | Finding content in apps, filters, drill-through, bookmarks, governed export | On-site or virtual instructor-led |
| Super-users | Supporting colleagues, first-line questions, when to escalate to the report owner | Train-the-trainer |
| Administrators | Tenant settings, capacity, monitoring, workspace governance | On-site or virtual instructor-led |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does EPC Group training prepare developers for the PL-300 exam?
EPC Group aligns its developer courses to Microsoft’s PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst exam, which assesses preparing, modeling, visualizing and analyzing data and managing and securing Power BI; the exam itself is scheduled and taken through Microsoft.
Can EPC Group train business users who only view and explore reports?
EPC Group runs a separate track for business users on their own reports: finding content in apps, using filters, drill-through and bookmarks, exporting within the governance rules and knowing when to ask the report owner rather than build a copy.
Does EPC Group run train-the-trainer programs?
EPC Group trains internal super-users so the knowledge stays inside the organization; documented examples include advanced super-user training during a global insurer’s Power BI rollout and a train-the-trainer program for a global technology company’s risk-operations team.
