Testimonials

Our customers share their stories.

“We organized a 4-day training event with Reza and Leila from Radacad. From the outset, they provided great advice on what they could cover and provided a very comprehensive overview for the 25 trainees. For anyone who is considering PowerBI specifically and want clarity on the best architecture and how to effectively use PowerBI, I strongly recommend contacting Radacad. They gave us a real head start.”

“Reza and Leila with RADACAD were phenomenal course facilitators and very accommodating of our group of 12. The course content was clear, well-paced, and structured intently with each lesson serving as a building block for the next. The team thoroughly enjoyed the engagement and definitely felt like Power BI Rockstars coming out of each session. Our organization has already begun to reap the benefits of this investment with RADACAD”
