Tell us what the team needs to be able to do

The more concrete this is, the more useful the reply. A real answer usually comes back within a working day, and it will say so plainly if what you need is not what we do.

The more concrete this is, the more useful the reply. Current tooling and any deadline both help.

What a session actually looks like

Everything below this point is for people who need convincing. If you were ready to enquire, the form above is the whole thing.

Day one

The decisions, before the interface

OneLake and why storage is shared rather than copied. Lakehouse against warehouse and when each is genuinely correct. The medallion pattern applied to your data, with the awkward parts of your data left in.

Day two

Building the thing

Pipelines, notebooks and orchestration against a real source of yours. This is where teams discover which of their assumptions do not survive contact with a capacity.

Optional day three

The track you actually need

Semantic modelling and Power BI on Fabric, or Real-Time Intelligence, or governance and capacity management. Chosen after day one, when it is clear where the team is weakest.

Two weeks later

The clinic

Ninety minutes on whatever broke. Consistently the most valuable session of the engagement, and included rather than sold separately.

When not to book this

Three situations where private training is the wrong purchase, and saying so here costs less than saying it after an invoice.

  • Nobody has Fabric work starting. Training a team before there is a project produces a team that has forgotten it. Wait until there is something to attach it to, then book.
  • You have fewer than six people. Public seats or the free official paths will serve you better and cost considerably less. See the buyer's guide.
  • What you actually need is the architecture decided. Some teams book training when the real problem is that nobody has decided whether they are building a lakehouse or a warehouse. That is a consulting engagement wearing a training costume, and it is cheaper to name it correctly.

Why the reviews on this site take no commission. This page is the commercial interest, and it is the only one. If the course reviews earned affiliate revenue as well, every downside written on them would be worth doubting. Keeping the two separate is what makes the rest of the site worth reading.

Questions about team training

Do you deliver Microsoft Fabric training on site?

Yes, on site at your offices, live online, or blended as workshops followed by clinics. On site works best for a team that sits together and needs to argue about its own architecture in the room. Live online works better for a team split across locations, and it is the only sensible option if the group spans more than about two time zones.

How many people should be in the room?

Six to twelve. Below six, private delivery is usually harder to justify than public seats. Above twelve, hands on time collapses because one trainer cannot unblock sixteen people at once, and the session quietly becomes a lecture. If you need to train forty people, that is three or four cohorts, not one large room.

Can the training use our own data and our own tenant?

That is the point of private delivery, and it is the single biggest improvement available to any Fabric course. Sample datasets never behave badly. Yours does, and the questions your team actually needs answered are about yours. If your tenant is not ready we can start in a provisioned environment and move across, but the aim is always to finish in yours.

How long does team training take?

Two days covers foundations for a mixed team. Three to four days covers a specific track, such as lakehouse and pipelines, or the semantic layer, in enough depth to work from afterwards. Anything shorter than two days is a briefing, and it is worth calling it that rather than pretending otherwise.

Is this exam preparation?

It can be, but the two are not the same thing and it is worth being clear which you want. Exam preparation optimises for passing DP-600 or DP-700. Project training optimises for the team being able to build something in the month afterwards. Most teams say exam and mean project. See the certification guide if the certificate genuinely is the goal.

What happens after the training?

A follow up clinic about two weeks later, included by default. Retention without application is close to zero, and two weeks is when a team hits the first problem the course did not cover. That session is consistently the most useful hour of the engagement, which says something uncomfortable about training days in general.
