Dimensional modelling is a core component of modern business intelligence solutions, providing the foundation for effective reporting, analytics, and decision-making. This two-day instructor-led course introduces the principles of dimensional modelling and explains how it supports data warehouses and data marts.

Designed for learners with no previous experience of dimensional modelling, the course explores data warehousing concepts, analytical requirements gathering, dimensional design techniques, and physical implementation considerations. You will learn how to design fact and dimension tables, understand modern data movement approaches, and explore how online analytical processing (OLAP) technologies support analytical workloads.

This course is vendor and product independent, allowing learners to apply the concepts across a wide range of business intelligence platforms.
