Tableau - Jump Start
Training 1.0
The instructors were first rate professionals and extremely skilled. They answered all questions very thoroughly and handled the different levels of experience among the participants very well.
The team from DataTraining.io was very flexible and organised a training last minute for us. They are very professional and friendly and provided a great two-day training.
I’d highly recommend DataTraining.io for anyone interested in developing their analytical skill set – you’re in great hands.
Our trainer was first rate and helped us hugely throughout the course. I wouldn’t hesitate to use DataTraining.io in the future.

FAQ
We do not guarantee a specific instructor per course but we make sure your training is led by an expert in the field. Our trainers have experience across different industries and unique knowledge of applications of the analytical tools.
It is common for the course participants to approach us with their specific problems based on company data. It is often sensitive data and we would like to make sure you can feel save and secure about it. Therefore, we always recommend signing an NDA and send it along as our pre training preparation package.
As we mostly train international companies, all our trainings are conducted in English unless specifically agreed otherwise; however, support is provided in English, Dutch, Polish, and German.
At the end of the training you will receive a certificate of completion, which specifies the learned contents of the seminar.
Yes it is possible, however it may generate additional cost depending on the magnitude of changes. We would like to discuss it case by case to find an optimal solution. If you are interested in developing a training based on your data drop us a line.
We are flexible and will adjust to your needs as we go. The instructor can quickly recognize the level and learning curve of the group and adjust the pace, cases and topics as needed during the training. Usually 10% of the course outline is moderated during the training.
In-person training means we come to your office to conduct training. Therefore, having a dedicated room where all participants feel comfortable is important. Alternatively, in extraordinary circumstances, we could arrange a training location for your team but this would come at additional expense. The Real-Time Training takes place online either via Zoom, MS Teams, Webex, Hangouts or another software of your choice.
- Once you inquire offer, we will send you a pdf document with exact course outline and our offer.
- If you like it, you confirm the booking via email and we block the training dates that suit you.
- We follow-up with pre-training preparation and setting up all the details so that the training can run smoothly.
