What’s on the Agenda
Transform your visual analytics skills from beginner to expert with eight modules of industry-leading training.
01.
Cornerstone Module
Learn how to connect to and shape data, cover fundamental technical features, discuss the science behind why data visualization works, and practice making some of the most effective chart types.
02.
Technical Deep Dives
After learning the essentials, we discuss many of the technical aspects of Tableau / Power BI such as custom calculations, parameters, and sets. But beyond that, we discuss how they can be used in real-world applications to help you get the most out of the software.
03.
Strategy, Storytelling, and Dashboards
We’ll share the strategies and storytelling tactics used at Playfair Data to help your dashboards cause action within your organization. During the module, you will also build a dashboard while applying those techniques.
04.
Advanced Topics
Be the know-it-all at your office. During this module, you’ll learn how to better control your data, tips for improving the performance of your dashboards, the ins and outs of several advanced chart types, and some of our favorite tricks.
05.
Statistical Tableau
To make sense of the vast amount of data in today’s business landscape, you not only need to visualize data, but incorporate statistics into your visualizations.
06.
Tableau Prep Builder
Tableau Prep is an additional software included with all Tableau “Creator” licenses that allows you to optimize data for use with Tableau Desktop. Learn the ins and outs of this software by combining fifty disparate data sources.
07.
Advanced Chart Types
The combination of Cartesian coordinates and preattentive attributes lay the foundation of every chart type and even makes it possible to invent new ones. This module goes way beyond “Show Me” to build innovative solutions from the ground up.
08.
Advanced User Experiences
It’s not enough to make dashboards that are built with data that everyone trusts, look good, and perform great – they must also be intuitive and easy to use. We’ll share some of our favorite user experiences and enable you to implement them in your own data products.

The Tableau course that started it all.
Since 2017, Playfair Data’s “Flagship Class” has enabled thousands of Tableau authors to get the most out of the software.
While the core of the first four three-hour modules has remained the same since Day 1, the course has been constantly refined over the past five years to account for the latest product innovations, diversified into Power BI, and expanded to eight training modules.
