FAQ

Do I need to know Power Query already?
No prior Power Query experience is needed, though basic Excel proficiency is assumed.
Will I leave with something usable, or just training?
Delegates typically build a working automation against their own real recurring task during the course, not just a generic exercise.
Is this course a step toward a specific LEORON certification?
This is a standalone practical skills course focused on a specific automation technique, not tied to a certification pathway.
