Last but not least, you can learn MicroStrategy of you own provided you have it installed and go though the online tutorials religiously. They rock! Real MicroStrategy Education USD 650 a day tutorials for free reading. If anyone know any method to store them offline, please share. Finally MicroStrategy is serious about having more number of MicroStrategy professionals in world. Hope to see the MicroStrategy books on Amazon too, not with USD 650 tag as charged currently by MicroStrategy Education.
This is so cool, they finally did it!
ReplyDeleteTo think that QlikView had this for years...
I still find it close to ridiculous that there is more information about MicroStrategy available on blogs and forums than there is to be bought for a decent price.
Great information for a newbie. Are the video and online tutorials good for starting the learning? Do you know anyone who provides training?
ReplyDeleteNumber of videos are very less. They teach some vital stuff of MicroStrategy. About the online tutorials, they are simply amazing and good enough to do "self-learning". I have been though few tutorials about the contents etc. Training providers? Where? There are few training institute in Hydrabad who teach MicroStrategy. Do now know the prices or quality of eduction though, but its gotta be good.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: If you download the free license version of MicroStrategy you gain access to the MicroStrategy Tutorial environment and a handful of PDF files such as BasicReporting and AdvancedReporting. This should be enough to get you going for a while.
ReplyDeleteAshish, I'm currenty too far from Hyderabad. I was thinking more like web training, somewhat like learnersparadise.com.
ReplyDeleteSorin, Thanks.
I will start with the online tutorials and PDFs.
Thanks...Som.
I don't think tough topics in MicroStrategy can be taught via remote desktop/webex kind of thing as trainer would need to monitor trainees and need to correct them while training; else MicroStrategy can not be learnt in class room, else you can always use the PDF manuals and Online tutorials to learn.
ReplyDeleteReaders, for MicroStrategy education @ Bangalore check out this link.

True.
ReplyDeleteUnless highly motivated, most students that don't follow a trainer guided classroom will balk as soon as they reach the metric dimensionality chapter.
I definitely recommend the Online Tutorials over the PDF, but to my knowledge they charge a fortune for those. Has this changed, by any chance?
Purchasing a PEP (Perennial Education Program), allows you to attend all the classroom trainings you can digest during 12 months, additionally gaining you access to the Online Trainings. However, the price for this is also prohibitive if you are on you own...
Asish, I'll take your advise.
ReplyDeleteSorin, are you talking about these tutorials? https://www.microstrategy.com/OnlineEducation/assignedsess.asp. After these tutorials, i will start with the Project Design Guide. Hope it's the right direction. I could go for PEP, but can't get so many days off from work. :( Som
Yeah, those are the ones I'm talking about. Are they available for free?
ReplyDeleteI'm only asking because my account had access to them even before this free licensing happened, so I can't tell if there was a change...
Not sure, I tried to access recently and I could get in.
ReplyDeleteYou need to have MicroStrategy account. Use your corporate (non-free) email address to create a one. Then you can access free tutorials. Strage even I had to input my credentials to access them, today. Probably they made this restricted (after reading that here).
