      Admittedly, the training content is quite good. The main problem is that it is all over the place. I can understand that this would be frustrating to many users who do not have a BI background.

       

      As for me, I collate all the monthly youtube releases that you guys create. I cut and paste the bits that are relevant, tag them, then reproduce training videos in a systematic method (as best as I can) to turn them into training modules. We train staff by showing them a video at a time, with small exercises in between each video.

      thanks for listening.  another question-where can I find a list of resources for some remote one-on-one training?  My company has ok'd me to invest in blocks of time for training, but my preference is someone who can take the steering wheel of my pc and help me put some reports together.  I can invest massively upfront, but could represent a good long-term relationship, as I am 53 and at square 1.

       

      Thx

        Hi Bob,

         

        My best recommendation would be our new guided learning experience since I'm not familiar of any 1:1 training that we have. The closes I could think of is comming to the Data Insights Summit, but that is next week and sold out :(

         

        We'll stream a lot of sessions though.

         

        Maybe another option could be training locally or user groups that you should be able to find on our PUG and events sections

         

        Cheers

        Miguel
