Microsoft Data Platform training for business professionals and power users
Embark on a Learning Safari
Learning a new technology is a lot like heading out on safari in the South African bushveld. You can go it alone, driven by curiosity and a sense of adventure. But without a guide, it’s easy to miss the most incredible moments, take a few wrong turns, or get stuck in unfamiliar terrain. That’s where we come in.
Our training courses are your guided journey through the world of data and digital transformation. Just like an experienced safari guide knows the land, the wildlife, and the rhythms of nature, our instructors know the technologies we teach inside and out. They’re not just trainers. They’re seasoned consultants who spend their days solving real-world problems for clients across industries. Every session is packed with practical insights, drawn from years of hands-on experience.
Each of our trainers has more than 15 years of deep technical expertise. They’ve spoken on global stages like PASS Summit, SQLBits, Power BI World Tour, and the Microsoft Fabric Community Conference. Two are Microsoft Data Platform MVPs, and one is a Microsoft Certified Master in SQL Server—a title held by only a handful of professionals worldwide. These aren’t just credentials. They’re proof of a track record built on solving tough problems and delivering results.
We bring a uniquely South African flavour to our training. It’s practical, grounded, and rich in storytelling. Whether you’re diving into Power BI, tuning SQL Server for performance, or wrangling data with Microsoft Fabric, you’ll be guided by experts who’ve seen it all and know how to help you succeed.
So whether you’re exploring solo or learning as part of a team, let us be your guide. With the right expertise by your side, your learning journey can be just as rewarding and awe-inspiring as spotting a leopard at dawn.
