I adjunct teach an intro to data science class using Python. I've had some students ask if there are any good free courses to kearn Power BI. Fatacamp for students is about $150 a year. So, 2 questions:

1) anyone taken Datacamps Power BI and found it good?
2) any suggestions on better or equivalent that is free?

Thanks. I'll go looking there. I looked but didn't find much the first time! Clearly didn't look hard enough or in the right place.

Check out Microsoft Learn

And even YouTube videos

From there, try creating some visualisations on their own

Thanks all, I have datasets and analysis I want them to do, but I'm looking for broad instruction. I appreciate the pointers. Most of what I see on YouTube is specific to a specific visualization or technique. They've gotten away with matplotlib in undergrad, but it's time to step up, and Tableau is too expensive.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
