Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply BI concepts using industry-standard tools. Learners will work on data preparation, model building, dashboard creation, and a final integrated project to demonstrate competence.

Practical Activities

• Data Preparation and Modelling — Learners clean, transform, and model a provided dataset using Power BI or Tableau, creating a star schema with measures. (4h)
• Dashboard Design and Interactivity — Learners design an interactive sales dashboard with filters, drill-downs, and key KPIs using best visualisation practices. (4h)
• Advanced Analytics with DAX — Learners implement time intelligence and what-if analysis using DAX formulas to derive business insights. (4h)
• Final Integrated Project — Learners complete an end-to-end BI reporting project: data integration, modelling, dashboard creation, and presentation. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
