I provide Power Query training in Bristol, other UK cities, and online via video-conferencing software.
I predominantly train finance teams and accountants. I’ve also trained other groups, for example data analysts and evaluation officers. And I can also provide one-to-one training.
Why should you learn Power Query?
Power Query is Excel’s best kept secret.
With Power Query you can take data from one source (for example, an accounting system), or several different sources (perhaps budget templates) and then combine it and transform it into any format you want.
It’s not just for analysis or reporting roles. If you spend more than a few hours a week using Excel, you will almost certainly benefit from learning a bit of Power Query.
And if you are a regular user of Excel, particularly in finance or data analysis roles, then learning Power Query will probably change your working life forever.
I did a 1-1 introduction to Power Query course with Jess and what I’ve learned will change my professional life!
Natasha Bowen, Project Delivery Manager
As an interim project delivery manager, I deal with lots of situations where data quality isn’t great, and in an intensive four hour training course I’ve learned lots of techniques which will save me so much time in the future.
Jess taught by using practical examples to illustrate a range of transformations for extracting, cleaning and combining data and was also happy to explore specific questions I had about ways to approach different problems.
The course was well prepared with multiple materials readily at hand to illustrate different elements of the software and Jess paced it perfectly. Excellent value for money and I am really excited to start using what I have learned.
Why choose me for Power Query training?
I have many years of training experience, from teaching English to training teams in audit software.
As a working finance director, I also have real-world experience in a range of finance jobs, from transactional to reporting roles.
I have used this experience to design Power Query training materials that are useful and practical. All the examples I use are drawn from real life finance or administration tasks. This makes the learning more engaging and effective.
Power Query training courses – in person, online, or at your premises
Because I believe all regular Excel users should learn a bit of Power Query, I’ve developed a standalone half-day Introduction to Power Query course to get you started.
You can attend this comprehensive introductory course either in person in Bristol, online, or as part of team training at your premises.
The Introduction to Power Query course assumes no prior knowledge. It will give you a thorough grounding in how to use Power Query’s powerful User Interface. This training course costs £160 per person or I can price it for team delivery. Read more about the course and how to book here.
I also offer bespoke Power Query training which I tailor to your business needs. You could combine this with bespoke Excel training. This costs £850 per day’s training.
Finally, I’m also available for one-to-one training at a cost of £100 per hour.
Is Power Query just for data analysts and reporting roles?
I strongly believe that anyone who uses Excel regularly will find something to love about Power Query. I have taught accounting team members in transactional roles. I’ve also taught non finance users. Everyone who attends one of my Power Query courses has found something useful in it.
