Commercial and Corporate Dataverse Courses for the Public and Private Sectors

How Many People Should Attend Our Private Dataverse Courses?

Whilst the number of people who attend our private Microsoft Dataverse courses is essentially up to you and dependant upon the number of learners you have who need to receive the training, we encourage all of our clients to keep your class sizes small where possible and recommend a maximum of eight learners for technical courses such as Power BI. This provides a more personable and effective learning experience for you and allows the trainer to give more individual attention to each and every student.

What is the Teaching Method for Our Dataverse Courses?

The teaching method for our private Dataverse courses is Instructor-led training (ILT), which means that our courses are engaging, immersive, hands-on and interactive, and thereby facilitate more effective learning and information retention. With this participatory learning method your staff will retain information better, whether they are studying Microsoft Dataverse subjects in-person or via live virtual classroom. And, whilst we are happy to provide lectures, demonstrations and show-and-tells for larger groups (plus drop-in surgeries for ad hoc technical advice and explanation), the instructor-led training approach is by far the most reliable teaching methodology to bring your data management know-how to life in a small-class-size setting.

How Long are our Dataverse Courses?

Usual teaching hours for our Dataverse courses are 9.30AM to 4.30PM with an hour for lunch and two short breaks morning and afternoon. This timetable is fairly standard across UK training providers and gives six hours of hands-on Dataverse learning, which is an optimal day's training when it comes to comfortably absorbing knowledge, undertaking practice exercises and retaining information.

If you need an earlier or later start time for your course please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Courses are delivered week days, Monday to Friday during normal business hours.
