Generic Power BI training fails because it treats a Fortune 500 CFO the same as a junior analyst. EPC Group's 4-level enterprise training program recognizes that different roles need different skills delivered at different depths, with industry-specific examples that make learning immediately applicable.

Sessions are interactive with real-time Q&A, breakout exercises, and hands-on labs using your own data where possible. On-Demand modules are available for Level 1 and Level 2 as self-paced video courses with quizzes and lab exercises. Most enterprises choose a blended approach: live sessions for initial rollout and on-demand for onboarding new hires. Group discounts are available for 20+ participants.
Can training be customized for our industry?
Yes, all training levels can be customized with industry-specific examples and use cases. Healthcare clients receive scenarios involving patient analytics with HIPAA considerations. Financial services clients work with portfolio and risk dashboards addressing SOC 2 requirements. Government clients use budget execution and program performance examples in FedRAMP-compliant environments. Manufacturing clients focus on OEE, supply chain, and quality dashboards. Customization adds $3,000-$5,000 per level for curriculum development.
What certification do participants receive?
EPC Group issues certificates of completion for each training level. These certificates include: the participant name, training level completed, hours of instruction, topics covered, and date of completion. For organizations pursuing Microsoft certifications, our training aligns with the PL-300 (Power BI Data Analyst) exam objectives. EPC Group also offers an internal "Power BI Champion" certification for participants who complete Levels 1-3 plus a capstone project demonstrating proficiency.
What is the minimum group size for enterprise training?
Minimum group sizes: Live Onsite training requires a minimum of 10 participants per session. Live Virtual training requires a minimum of 8 participants. On-Demand has no minimum.
