Microsoft Power BI PL-300 Course UK – Data Analyst Training

The Microsoft Power BI PL-300 Course UK helps learners build practical business-intelligence and data-analysis skills using Microsoft Power BI while preparing around the current PL-300: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst exam objectives.

Power BI is widely used for transforming data into dashboards, reports and business insights. This course is particularly relevant to analysts, reporting professionals, finance teams, operations staff and career changers who want a recognisable data skill rather than a general theory-only course.

• Use relationships, calculated columns and measures
• Apply Data Analysis Expressions (DAX)

• Identify trends, patterns and business insights
• Manage workspaces, reports and Power BI assets
• Apply security and appropriate access to Power BI content

Current PL-300 Exam Areas

Microsoft’s current PL-300 skills outline is organised around four major areas:

• Prepare the data – 25–30%
• Model the data – 25–30%
• Visualise and analyse the data – 25–30%
• Manage and secure Power BI – 15–20%

The English-language objectives were updated for April 2026, so this page is intentionally centred on the current PL-300 pathway rather than older Power BI certification names.

Who Is This Power BI Course For?

This course is suitable for aspiring and junior data analysts, business analysts, finance and accounting professionals, reporting teams, operations staff, managers who work with performance data, Excel users progressing into business intelligence, and professionals who want to demonstrate Power BI skills through Microsoft’s current certification route.
