Dimensional Modeling

In the two-day Dimensional Modeling training course, you will learn how to develop powerful and understandable data models that add immediate value to your Business Intelligence environment. You will work with facts, dimensions, and hierarchies—the building blocks of every successful analytical solution. This standard method is essential for structuring data warehouses and supporting reliable reports and dashboards.

What can you expect?

You will gain a solid foundation in the principles of dimensional modeling, combined with many practical exercises. In realistic cases, you will learn how to translate business questions into an effective data model. You will work actively in groups and receive personal feedback from experienced trainers who come from the field themselves.

What will you learn?

After completing this training, you will be able to:

• Translate business questions into an effective dimensional model;
• Design and structure fact and dimension tables;
• Deal with historical data and changing dimensions (SCDs);
• Integrate dimensional models within modern data warehouses;
• Apply advanced modeling techniques such as snowflaking and Data Vault links;
• Apply theory directly in realistic group assignments.

Who is this training intended for?

This training is intended for anyone who works with data and is responsible for designing or optimizing analytical models:

• BI specialists and data analysts;
• Data engineers and data architects;
• Information analysts and reporting developers;
• Anyone who wants to support data-driven decision-making with smart data models.

Training structure

The training is practical and interactive. You learn by doing – using examples, assignments, and feedback. We work with recognizable scenarios from different sectors.

Required prior knowledge

• No specific prior knowledge is required.
• Basic experience with data analysis, SQL, or BI tools is useful but not essential.

Why participate?

Without a good data model, you cannot obtain reliable insights. With dimensional modeling, you learn to structure data in such a way that it can be used in any BI system in an understandable, fast, and reliable manner.
