If you need an invoice to generate a P.O. number in your accounts system, please book the course as normal and add a note in the PO number box – to be provided
We will send you an invoice (without a P.O.) which you can use to generate a P.O..
We will then re-issue your invoice with your P.O. included when you provide us with it

Claire Caple – Microsoft 365 Adoption & Change Manager – Rennie Grove Peace
“Alpesh was very knowledgeable, and I was confident in his training from the start.
He was enthusiastic and excited to help us get to know the software.
Alpesh gave us useful tips, everyone was comfortable and asked questions throughout.
We all took away ideas and felt able to start using Power BI immediately.”
The Client:
Rennie Grove Peace Hospice (Rennie Grove Peace) is a palliative care and bereavement support charity working in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
It was formed from the merger of Rennie Grove Hospice Care and Peace Hospice Care in 2022 and employs approximately 300 people across a range of functions spanning from fundraising and training to palliative care.
The Problem:
Rennie Grove Peace wanted to upgrade its business analytics capability and make better use of their data across the organisation.
Having decided that Power BI would be the best solution, team members from their fundraising, marketing, clinical reporting and IT teams wanted to learn how to use Power BI to analyse and present their data.
The Solution:
Rennie Grove Peace ultimately decided that a private Power BI course at their officeswould meet their needs best.
Doing this was more cost-effective than attending public courses, saved on staff travel time and allowed the training to be focused on their exact requirements.
The Outcome:
A private one-day introduction to Power BI course was run at Rennie Grove Peace’s offices.
Everyone left having learned a huge amount about Power BI and ready to start putting it into practice.
After the course, each attendee was tasked with sharing what they learned with their department to broaden the organisation’s understanding of Power BI.

Power BI is Microsoft’s data analytics and business intelligence platform.
It allows you to connect to hundreds of data sources, prepare data, and create beautiful, interactive reports and dashboards converting raw data into easily actionable insights.
It was launched in 2014 and its main competitors are data tools like Tableau, Google Data Studio and Qlik.
It comes in a range of versions from Power BI Desktop which is free through to Power BI Premium which is a full enterprise business intelligence solution hosted in the cloud.
Microsoft Excel is widely used as a general purpose tool for all sorts of calculations and simple data management.
Power BI is a business intelligence platform designed specifically for data analytics and visualisation for large volumes of data which Excel could not handle. It allows users to very quickly and simply share data and business insights across their organisation.
Power BI Desktop:
Power BI Desktop (free) gives you access to Power BI’s basic features and is where you create data models and carry out data cleansing and analysis. It is also how you access the full cloud-based version of Power BI – Power BI Service – if you are a subscriber.
Power BI Pro:
Power BI is the full version of Power BI. It includes the ability to build and share dashboards and reports that you have built which you can’t with BI Desktop.
Power BI Service or Premium:
Power BI Service is designed for large organisations. It gives your company access to its own dedicated capacity and allows for analysis of very large scale datasets.
Power BI toolkit is comprised of several key components:
1. Power Query: A data extraction and transformation tool used to connect to, clean, and shape data in Power BI Desktop. 2. Power Pivot: An in-memory data modeling component that allows for the creation of relationships between data tables. 3. Power BI Desktop: A free tool for building for analysing your data, building data models and designing reports. 4. Power BI Service: A cloud-based service for publishing, sharing (inc via mobile app) and collaborating on reports and dashboards. 5. DAX (Data Analysis Expressions): A formula language with a library of functions and operators. It allows you to create custom calculations, measures and calculated columns, and usee complex logic to derive deeper insights.
Power BI can connect to a wide variety of data sources, including Microsoft Fabric, Excel files, SQL Server databases, SharePoint lists, and online services like Google Analytics and Salesforce allowing you to bring all your data together in one place.
A Power BI report is a multi-page collection of visualisations and data created from a single dataset.
A dashboard is a single-page interface that provides a high-level overview of key metrics, with visualisations, drawn from multiple reports.
Please come wearing whatever your are comfortable in, we do not have a dress code.
