Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate training and certification exam preparation centre
Among Microsoft's certifications, Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate (exam code PL-300) is the one that covers preparing, modelling and visualising data in Power BI. Microsoft certifies working knowledge of its own platform and tooling, tested against the behaviour of the shipping product.
This is a working-practitioner credential: it assumes you already do the job and can be trusted with day-to-day tasks. People usually sit it to formalise preparing, modelling and visualising data in Power BI they are already doing informally.
You are taught live, then put through Power BI modelling and reporting exercises mapped to the objectives Microsoft publishes. Preparation assumes some hands-on exposure and concentrates on closing the gaps that cost marks.
The listed fee is USD 165; booked through WebAsha it is USD 148, a 10% saving. Microsoft sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
Because Microsoft can revise the format, duration and passing mark between versions, treat the official exam page as the source of truth. We go through the current details with you before you book.
