Microsoft Fabric was recently announced as the Microsoft suite for an end-to-end analytics software-as-a-service offering by Microsoft. As the suite covers many components and workloads, it is essential to have the right training to ensure the proper use of the technology in the correct setup and architecture. RADACAD has helped many organizations, businesses, and individuals worldwide with analytics upskilling over many years. RADACAD not only has the most comprehensive training on Microsoft Power BI, but we also have designed and developed an exclusive training program for Microsoft Fabric that covers all the workloads of Fabric from data engineering, warehousing, data science, integration, Business Intelligence, real-time, storage engine, governance, Data Activator, administration, and architecture. This training combines lecture and hands-on lab experience with Microsoft Fabric.

Who is this training for?

The training is for you if you are a data analyst, data engineer, data scientist, data developer, data architect, or any other role that deals with data analytics using Microsoft technologies. This training doesn’t have any prerequisites. The training will take you from the beginner level to the advanced level. It is designed so that the learnings can be used immediately after the training day in your day-to-day job and activities.

What is included in the training?

In this training, you will learn about all components of Microsoft Fabric. You will learn about workloads such as Data Integration using Data Factory, Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, Data Science using Synapse, Business Intelligence using Power BI, Real-time Analytics, Data Activator, storage Engine using OneLake, governance, administration, and architecture.

This training will teach you how these workloads work together to build a data analytics solution. You will learn the differences between objects and components and their pros and cons in different usage scenarios. This training not only explains the products, services, and features but also focuses heavily on how they can be used in real-world solutions and what are best practices and use-case scenarios.

At the end of this training, you will be able to design the architecture of data analytics solutions for your organization using Microsoft Fabric. You will know how to design and build the solution. You will have enough hands-on experience to get your hands dirty with your own data and start developing your solution without further delay.
