FAQ

What does a BI analyst do, and how does the Business Intelligence training program prepare you for the role?

A BI analyst prepares data, calculates key metrics, and presents results in reports and dashboards so that business units can make decisions. The Business Intelligence training program takes you from data quality in Excel through data preparation with Power Query to key metrics using DAX and data storytelling in Power BI. Depending on your focus, change management or strategic AI management will round out your foundation.

What tools and methods will I learn in the Business Intelligence training program?

You’ll learn along the data chain: First, you’ll ensure data quality and prepare the data; then, you’ll calculate key metrics and present the results in easy-to-understand dashboards. Depending on your focus, change management, strategic AI management, or business analytics will round out your foundation, and you’ll use AI agents to automate recurring tasks. Hands-on projects, live sessions, and our coaches support each module.

What practical projects will I work on during the Business Intelligence training program?

You’ll clean and analyze an unprocessed corporate dataset and apply what you learn in each chapter of the Power BI training course through hands-on projects. Depending on your focus, you’ll also analyze an unknown database using SQL, plan an integrated change project, or develop an AI roadmap with a business case. In addition, you’ll complete an n8n workflow across four sprints and a portfolio project with feedback from our coaches.

Who is the Business Intelligence training program intended for, and how does it differ from the Data Analysis training program?

The Business Intelligence continuing education course is a good fit if you want to present data in reports and dashboards in a way that supports decision-making. Level: Intermediate. You have completed a degree program that included courses in mathematics, statistics, or programming, or you have professional experience with statistics, databases, or programming languages (e.g., R). Compared to the Data Analysis course, the focus here is on Power BI and dashboards rather than data analysis with Python.

How long does the Business Intelligence training program last, and how does it work?

The Business Intelligence continuing education program is a full-time program and lasts 4.7 to 5.3 months, depending on the focus. It consists of 7 modules, including a portfolio project in which you apply what you’ve learned. You’ll learn during scheduled class times with live sessions led by our coaches. The current start dates are listed in the table on this page. Would you like a personalized consultation about your continuing education options? Feel free to contact our team: info@stackfuel.com

How can I finance my Business Intelligence training?

With an education voucher, the Jobcenter or the Agency for Employment will cover 100% of the costs if you are registered as unemployed or a job seeker. As an employee, you can have your employer finance your continuing education through the Qualification Opportunities Act (QCG). Self-paying participants can pay directly or in installments. Our advisory team will guide you through the process until approval is granted.

What are the requirements?

You have completed a degree program that included courses in mathematics, statistics, or programming, or you have professional experience with statistics, databases, or programming languages (e.g., R).
