DP-600 Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer
Modern analytics platforms bring ingestion, modeling, and reporting together in a seamless workflow. Microsoft Fabric provides the technical foundation – scalable, governance-ready, and tightly integrated with existing business intelligence tools.
Key topics
- Build data pipelines from source to report with Microsoft Fabric.
- Deploy lakehouse architectures as the core analytical foundation.
- Design semantic models and data structures for analytical workloads.
- Automate workflows and implement orchestration logic.
- Apply access controls, compliance measures, and governance concepts.
- Connect and integrate reporting and analytics layers seamlessly.
Prerequisite
Participants with experience in SQL, BI, or cloud environments can jump straight into the content – familiarity with data structures and analytics workflows is beneficial.
Target group
Teams and individuals responsible for modeling, pipelines, or reporting in data-intensive projects.
Those who view data as a strategic resource will benefit from a course that sharpens both technical know-how and architectural thinking.
