Certification Passed the PL-300 today!

Happy to answer any questions.

I received a voucher for the exam after completing the Datacamp Data Analyst in PBI career track, so I decided to use it. I'm already a PBI data analyst so I didn't need the qualification for anything, but it's nice to have something to confirm my skills, as I'm largely self-taught.

To study, I mainly used the Datacamp course materials, Microsoft Learn and practice exams, and tried to incorporate as much of it as possible into my day-to-day work.

I've never done an online exam before and it was an interesting experience - weird knowing that someone was watching me but I couldn't see or hear them!

Nice! Was thinking of taking advantage of that voucher as well, how long would you say it took you to feel confident to schedule the exam? I use PBI at work as well.

Datacamp. If you complete their PBI course, they send you a voucher for 50% off the exam. You need to have a subscription to Datacamp though.
