Course Description and Duration

Our Qlik Sense Developer Training is designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge to master the ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) process in Qlik Sense. Over 1, 2, or 3 days, you’ll dive into data extraction, transformation, and loading techniques, ensuring that you have the knowledge and tools to create efficient, high-performance data models. Choose the full course or opt for specific days depending on your needs—each day builds progressively on the previous one, so you can tailor your learning experience.

Course Overview

This hands-on, instructor-led course covers everything from the basics of data extraction to advanced data modelling and optimization techniques in Qlik Sense. Through real-world use cases and exercises, you'll gain a deep understanding of Qlik Sense's ETL process, and how to apply best practices to ensure data quality, governance, and performance.
