How we teach

XL Automation trains the way we deliver client work: start from the outcome, practise on realistic files, and leave with something you can run without the trainer in the room.

Public batches and private corporate sessions are available. Content is mapped to day-to-day analyst and operator work — not a slide deck of every feature in the product.

What you can expect

Live sessions with recordings for revision
Assignments reviewed by a mentor, not an auto-scorer
A capstone you can show to a hiring manager

If a program is not the right fit, we will say so and point you to a service engagement or a shorter workshop.

Each card opens the full program page — curriculum, how it runs, and what you leave with.

Microsoft Excel Training

Practical Excel for analysts and operators — from clean data habits to dashboards and light automation your team will use on Monday.

Azure Data Factory Training

Build, monitor, and troubleshoot cloud data pipelines on Azure — aimed at analysts moving into engineering and engineers new to ADF.

Python Training

Python for analysis and automation — aimed at Excel-heavy professionals who need scripts they can run and explain.

Microsoft SQL Training

Query, join, and shape data in Microsoft SQL Server so you stop waiting on an export every time a filter changes.

Microsoft Power BI Training

Build semantic models and dashboards people will open — with DAX and refresh habits that survive the next data load.

Data Analytics Training

A job-ready path from spreadsheets to SQL and storytelling — for analysts, operators, and career switchers.

Data Engineering Training

Design pipelines, warehouses, and checks so analytics does not depend on a laptop and a hero.

Data Science Training

Applied statistics, Python, and machine learning on problems a business will actually ship — not research theatre.

What you get

Why teams train with us

Practitioners teach

Trainers who still deliver client work, not full-time slide readers.

Your files when it helps

Corporate batches can use your sheets and questions instead of generic demos.

Capstone, not just attendance

A portfolio piece you finish and can explain. That is the certificate that matters.

Honest scope

We will not promise a six-month career change from a weekend workshop.

Mentor reviews

Written feedback on assignments so you know what to fix before the next session.

Remote, scheduled

IST-based live sessions with overlap for global teams when a private batch needs it.

How we work

How a cohort runs

Choose a track

Pick the program that matches the job you do — or the job you want next.

Join a batch

We confirm dates, tools, and whether a public or private cohort is the better fit.

Learn live

Guided sessions and labs. Recordings are for revision, not a substitute for showing up.

Get reviewed

Assignments come back with notes, not just a pass mark.

Ship a capstone

A dashboard, query pack, pipeline, or analysis you can present.

Talk about the work

Interview prompts and a walkthrough so you can explain what you built.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these beginner friendly?

Excel, Python, and analytics tracks start from fundamentals. Azure, data engineering, and data science assume more comfort with data work — we say so on each page.

Do you run corporate batches?

Yes. Private sessions can use your files and your timezone. Ask via the contact form.

Is there a certificate?

Yes, after the capstone. Hiring managers still care more about the project you can walk through.

Can I switch tracks later?

Sometimes. Talk to us before the cohort starts if you are unsure — it is cheaper than switching mid-way.

Not sure which program to pick?

Describe your role and the outcome you want. We will recommend a public batch, a private workshop, or a service engagement.
