Frequently Asked Questions


  1. Is it necessary to have an experience in Datawarehousing/ETL before starting this course?

    It is not necessary that you should have a prior experience, however we recommend that you should be aware of this domain. You can also take up Beginner's course before starting on Advanced course.

  2. I am already working in ETL for long time and I have a good command on ETL Tools, I think I do not need to take up this course?

    If you think that you can work on Design and Architecture parts of Data warehousing and have good experience and knowledge on those then you can skip this course, however if you have good knowledge on coding and ETL tools but still not doing design then you can enroll for this course to get knowledge on Design and Architecture skills.

  3. Why Certification is included in the course?

    This is to make sure that a learner has understood the course content and BIWHIZ has verified the knowledge level of the Learner. Certification is the proof that you have achieved a certain level of expertise on course and any authorized organization can verify that with us.

  4. What if I am not able to clear the Certification exam in first attempt?

    You can take extra attempts for free.

  5. What is the learning support and would it be available after completing the course as well?

    You can raise your queries and doubts during and post training period. All queries will be resolved by BI experts.

  6. Do you help in career related issues as well, like reviewing resume, mentoring for my career growth?

    Yes, we have a panel of BI/DWH experts who will guide and mentor you; please check Career Centre for more details.

  7. I heard that BI/DWH is dying and Big data is going to replace all BI/DWH technologies very soon, why should I still learn DWH?

    It is a myth that Big Data will kill all existing BI/DWH technologies. All these technologies are going to co-exist together as there are specific use cases for each of these technologies. Slowly all ETL tools will start incorporating access to Big Data as well. In case you are interested only for Big Data or Analytics, we run those courses too.

  8. Will you sell my data to Recruitment/marketing companies or will you use it for Recruitment or any other activities not related with Training?

    NO, Never. Your details are highly confidential and safe with us. But If you are willing to accept any such calls then you can inform us in advance with a specific need and we will contact only for those specific requirements.
