Question 1

What is Microsoft Fabric and why is training in it valuable?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Fabric is a unified analytics platform that combines data engineering, data integration, data science, data warehousing, real-time analytics, and business intelligence into a single Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment. It brings together capabilities previously spread across Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Power BI, and other Microsoft data tools. Training in Microsoft Fabric is valuable because organisations are increasingly consolidating their data workflows onto this platform, and professionals who understand how to work across its components — including Lakehouses, Pipelines, Data Flows, Notebooks, and Power BI integration — are in high demand.

Question 2

Who should attend Microsoft Fabric training?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Fabric training is suitable for data engineers, data analysts, BI developers, solutions architects, and IT professionals who work with Microsoft data platforms. It is also relevant for Power BI developers who want to understand how Power BI integrates with the wider Fabric ecosystem, and for Azure professionals transitioning to the unified Fabric model. Some prior experience with data tools such as Power BI, Azure, or SQL is helpful but not always required depending on the course.

Question 3

What topics are covered in a Microsoft Fabric training course?

Accepted Answer

JBI's Microsoft Fabric training covers the core components of the platform, including the Fabric workspace and OneLake architecture, data ingestion and transformation using Data Flows and Pipelines, Lakehouse design and management, real-time analytics with KQL and Eventstreams, Data Warehousing within Fabric, integration with Power BI for reporting and dashboards, notebook-based data science workflows, and governance and security using Microsoft Purview. The course combines conceptual understanding with hands-on practical exercises.

Question 4

How does Microsoft Fabric relate to Power BI?

Accepted Answer

Power BI is a core component within Microsoft Fabric. In the Fabric model, Power BI serves as the reporting and visualisation layer, sitting on top of the unified OneLake data store. Organisations that currently use Power BI as a standalone tool are able to connect it directly to Lakehouses and Warehouses within Fabric, enabling richer, more scalable analytics pipelines. Understanding Microsoft Fabric helps Power BI professionals to work more effectively with upstream data engineering processes and build more robust end-to-end solutions.

Question 5

Is Microsoft Fabric training available online or onsite for teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Microsoft Fabric training is available as a live instructor-led online course, as a classroom session in London, or as a customised onsite programme delivered at your organisation's premises. Onsite delivery is particularly suitable for data teams who want to apply Fabric concepts directly to their own environment and existing data infrastructure. Content can be adjusted to match the team's current tools, data maturity, and specific Fabric adoption goals.

Question 6

What is Microsoft Purview and is it included in Fabric training?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Purview is a data governance and compliance solution that integrates with Microsoft Fabric to provide data cataloguing, lineage tracking, sensitivity labelling, and access management across the platform. JBI offers a dedicated Microsoft Purview training course alongside its Microsoft Fabric course. Understanding Purview is increasingly important for data teams who need to demonstrate governance, regulatory compliance, and data quality management within their analytics environments.

Question 7

How does Microsoft Fabric differ from Azure Synapse Analytics?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Fabric represents the evolution of Azure Synapse Analytics and other Azure data services into a unified, SaaS-based platform. Where Synapse required managing separate compute and storage resources, integrating multiple Azure services, and handling complex configuration, Fabric simplifies this through a single workspace, a shared OneLake storage layer, and pre-integrated services for data engineering, science, warehousing, and BI. Organisations currently using Synapse Analytics are encouraged by Microsoft to consider migrating workloads to Fabric as the platform matures.

Question 8

Is the Microsoft Fabric course kept up to date with the latest platform changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Microsoft Fabric is an actively evolving platform and JBI's training content is continuously updated to reflect the latest features and changes Microsoft releases. This includes updates to OneLake capabilities, new Fabric workloads, AI and Copilot integration within Fabric, and changes to licensing and governance models. Delegates learn skills that are current and applicable to the version of Microsoft Fabric available in production environments today.

Question 9

Are these courses available online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All JBI Training courses run as live online instructor-led sessions as well as in-person in London and as bespoke on-site training at your organisation.

Question 10

Can these courses be customised for my team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All JBI Training courses can be delivered as bespoke closed-group programmes tailored to your team's technology stack, experience level, and business objectives. Contact enquiries@jbinternational.co.uk.
