Fabric training programs

I’ve been using Microsoft Fabric since early 2023 and have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award specifically for Fabric. I have a deep understanding of the platform and its capabilities, and I’m excited to share my knowledge with you. I’ve worked out several training programs that can help you and your team get started with Fabric, or to deepen your knowledge of the platform.

Format

All training programs are hands-on and can be tailored to your needs. The minimum duration is usually half a day, but depending on the skills and experiences of the audience, the duration can still vary. The training can be delivered in-person or online.

I strongly believe the hands-on approach is the best way to learn and to memorize and understand the concepts. I will provide a lot of exercises and examples, and I will be available to help you with your questions.

Environment

I will provide a demo environment for the training. All you need is a laptop with a browser and a Microsoft account.
