Additionally, we found 7 courses from 3 schools that are available virtually through live online Power BI training. In live online courses, participants learn in real-time and with hands-on projects just like standard classroom training.

Which Buffalo Power BI Class is Right for Me?

You have several options when it comes to learning Power BI, so we’ve chosen 3 of the best Buffalo courses from the top 2 training providers to help you make your decision. But even so, with the variety of considerations including cost, duration, course format, starting level, and more, choosing the perfect course still isn’t that easy.

Here are the key questions you should ask yourself before enrolling in a Power BI course. We hope you’ll find the best option based on your learning preferences and goals.

What level should I start at?

Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.

Beginner Courses

If you’re new to Power BI, there’s no need to fear. We’ve found 1 beginner courses, with costs ranging from $795. The top options open to beginners include:

Microsoft BI Tools: Power BI for Excel Users @ ONLC Training Centers ($795 | 2 Days)
In-person in Buffalo or live online

Note that beginner courses still typically assume basic proficiency with computers.

Intermediate & Advanced Courses

Already comfortable with the basics of Power BI and feel ready to move to an intermediate or advanced class? Consider the following courses which all require some prerequisite knowledge:

Power BI Intermediate @ ONLC Training Centers ($995 | 2 Days)
In-person in Buffalo or live online
Analyzing Data with Power BI @ ONLC Training Centers ($1,595 | 3 Days)
In-person in Buffalo or live online

Which class format (in-person or live online) works best for me?

We haven’t found any in-person, or face-to-face, Power BI training options in Buffalo, but we have found live online options that you can attend from anywhere. This alternative has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.

Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

Here are some live online Power BI training options:

Microsoft BI Tools: Power BI for Excel Users @ ONLC Training Centers ($795 | 2 Days | beginner)
Power BI Intermediate @ ONLC Training Centers ($995 | 2 Days | intermediate)
Analyzing Data with Power BI @ ONLC Training Centers ($1,595 | 3 Days | advanced)

If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.

The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.

Access a Computer Lab in Buffalo

Additionally, you can attend an Power BI course live online and use the computer lab at ONLC or Certstaffix at your option. In this “remote instructor” training, the instructor is not present in the same room as the students, but the training is still synchronous. Here are “remote instructor” options in Buffalo:

ONLC Training Centers: Computer lab at 300 International Drive North Towns in Buffalo, NY
- Microsoft BI Tools: Power BI for Excel Users ($795 for 2 Days)
- Power BI Intermediate ($995 for 2 Days)
- Analyzing Data with Power BI ($1,595 for 3 Days)

The key benefit of the remote instructor training is that you don’t need to worry about any of the technical setup, including internet access, computer system or storage issues, and software installation.

When are Power BI classes available?

It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For in-person training in Buffalo, the Power BI courses we found (shown above) are only available weekdays. For those with busy schedules looking for evening or weekend courses, these live online options offer flexibility:

Power BI Intermediate @ ONLC Training Centers ($995 | 2 Days)

Analyzing Data with Power BI @ ONLC Training Centers ($1,595 | 3 Days)
This course is also available online

Due to changing schedules and uncertainty during COVID-19, we recommend that prospective students confirm course availability directly with the school.

What type of learner am I?

When learning Power BI, there are a variety of learning goals you can achieve, including getting started or adding to existing skills.
