Business Intelligence / Power BI Developer
Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Stakeholder requirements noteOne page that turns a vague dashboard request into named decisions: who opens it, what they do differently because of it, the agreed definition of every metric, and what you deliberately did not build.
- Data model diagramA star schema drawn out: every table with its grain, every relationship with its cardinality and filter direction, and a written reason for each direction you chose.
- DAX measures libraryTwelve to twenty measures with a comment on each saying what it returns, what filter context it assumes, and where it would give the wrong answer if used somewhere else.
- Multi page dashboard specPage by page: the one question each page answers, the visuals on it, the filters a user can change, and the reason a requested chart was left out.
- Refresh and ownership runbookWhat refreshes, when, from which source, who owns that source, what breaks it, and the exact steps for the next person when a refresh fails at seven in the morning.

Description
Every CertClue course follows the same seven-part shape: fundamentals, the role translated out of job-posting language, a real working day, the job's recurring rhythms, a multi-day simulation, the portfolio you build along the way, and a handoff into your next move. Here is what that looks like for bi analyst / power bi developer.
