The two-day Data Warehouse Fundamentals training course provides you with a clear and practical overview of the most important concepts, design principles, and strategic choices within Business Intelligence and data warehousing. You will learn how modern data warehouse solutions are structured, how they connect to (Big) Data and cloud technologies, and how to design a robust and future-proof BI architecture within your organization.

What can you expect?

This training course is highly practical and covers the core of BI and DWH architecture in an accessible way. You will work on realistic cases and learn how to align technical choices with organizational objectives. We cover different architecture styles (such as Kimball, Inmon, Data Vault), cloud models, and the role of data integration, governance, and analytics.

What will you learn?

After completing this training, you will be able to:

  • Identify the most important concepts, components, and layers of a data warehouse architecture;
  • Recognize and weigh different design approaches (Kimball, Inmon, Data Vault);
  • Explain the relationship between traditional data warehouses and new concepts such as Data Lakes and Lakehouses;
  • Make strategic choices in design and architecture form;
  • Supervise BI projects with an eye for preconditions such as data quality, metadata, and governance;
  • Apply architectural principles to your own practice or organizational issues.

Who is this training intended for?
