DP-500T00: Designing and Implementing Enterprise-Scale: 4 Days Workshop

Students will learn to implement and manage a data analytics environment, query and transform data, implement and manage data models, and explore and visualize data. In this DP-500 training, students will use Microsoft Purview, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Power BI to build analytics solutions.

Target Audience

• Candidates for this course should have subject matter expertise in designing, creating, and deploying enterprise-scale data analytics solutions. Specifically, candidates should have advanced Power BI skills, including managing data repositories and data processing in the cloud and on-premises, along with using Power Query and Data Analysis Expressions (DAX).
• They should also be proficient in consuming data from Azure Synapse Analytics and should have experience querying relational databases, analyzing data by using Transact-SQL (T-SQL), and visualizing data.

Prerequisites
