Power BI® - Business Data Analytics
By Asia Edge
ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE This 3 full-day training course will introduce participants to the Microsoft Power BI® software solution for extracting, manipulating, visualising and analysing data. This is a very practical, hands-on course that takes participants through a series of exercises which help users understand the Power BI® environment, how to use the key areas of functionality, and how to apply the tools it contains to design and produce analyses of their own data. The first two days focus on learning the key concepts and practising these using clean, simple datasets. The third day provides participants with the opportunity to apply what they've learned to their own data. This makes the course far more relevant and meaningful for them, it allows our facilitator to help them structure their data models, queries and DAX formulas correctly, and it allows our facilitator to help them solve any additional problems that may arise but which were not covered as part of the standard the course. In addition, at the end of the day, each participant walks away with something of real, practical use for their job role. Many previous participants have remarked that they obtained the most value from the course during the third day because otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do what they need to do. This is an introductory course and although it does not assume any prior experience with Power BI®, participants will gain much more from the course if they have at least used Power BI® a little prior to attending. Participants who have taught themselves Power BI® will also benefit from attending as the course will fill-in a number of gaps in their knowledge and will also extend what they know. A general understanding of databases, Excel formulas, and Excel Pivot Tables is useful though not essential. Comprehensive course notes, exercises and completed solutions are included. Microsoft® PowerBI® is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Marine Biology Course
By Elearncollege
DESCRIPTION Marine Biology Diploma Marine biology is the study of living organisms in predominantly saline bodies of water, especially the ocean. Marine biology is different from marine ecology as the latter revolves around the interaction of organisms between themselves and the environment whereas the former focuses on the study of organisms themselves. A large percentage of all life forms on our planet survive in the ocean. The enormity of the oceanic population is still not well documented as there are many species in the ocean yet to be discovered. The ocean is a three-dimensional water body covering around 71% of the earth's entire surface. Marine life is a notable resource giving food, medicine and raw materials along with enhancement and support of tourism and other recreational activities all around the globe. Looking at the basic level it is not hard to understand that marine life plays a major role in determining the very nature of our planet. Marine organisms contribute greatly to the oxygen cycle and are very important in keeping the earth's climate regulated. Shorelines are partially affected and in a way protected by marine life forms. Certain marine organisms even play a part in creating new lands. Many marine species are of importance to humans economically and this mainly includes food fish, be it finfish or shellfish. It is now known that the well-being of marine organisms and other organisms are closely linked and that too at an elementary level. The course Marine Biology is of relevance today because the human body of knowledge regarding marine life and important natural cycles is rapidly growing. These cycles include those of matter like the carbon cycle, those of air like earth's respiratory cycle and the movement of energy between ecosystems including the ocean. New discoveries are being made every day and yet large marine areas still remain greatly unexplored. What You Will Learn 1: The Ocean as a Habitat 2: Patterns of Association 3: Phytoplankton groups 4: Marine Plants 5: Microbial Heterotrophs and Invertebrates 6: Marine vertebrates - Fishes, Reptiles, Seabirds and Marine mammals 7: Estuaries 8: Coastal Seas, Coral reef 9: The open sea 10: The Deep Sea Floor COURSE OUTCOMES After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college. ASSESSMENT Each unit concludes with a multiple-choice examination. This exercise will help you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you have not missed anything important in the unit. The results are readily available, which will help you see your mistakes and look at the topic once again. If the result is satisfactory, it is a green light for you to proceed to the next chapter.
