Master Class: The Secret to Stunning Data Reports
The Power BI Report Design Bootcamp is Mara Pereira’s flagship program, offering 94 lessons and three masterclasses. Currently priced at $147 (reduced from $397), the self-paced program provides personalized feedback and practical exercises to help professionals create impressive reports that captivate their audience.
The bootcamp teaches professionals how to design Power BI reports with strong UX that effectively answer business questions. Students learn essential data storytelling techniques and advanced visualization methods and engage in practical exercises to refine their skills.
“Most data professionals excel at managing data but struggle to create insightful, well-designed, and user-friendly reports,” Mara Pereira says. The bootcamp addresses common challenges faced by professionals who connect to data sources, clean data, and build models but find visualization difficult.
Inside the Money-Making Magic of Data Storytelling
The bootcamp curriculum transforms dull reports into effective solutions. Students master data storytelling techniques that convey complex information clearly to their audience. The program covers key Power BI skills, including bookmarks, buttons, drill-throughs, and tooltips.
Participants complete five practical exercises to determine business goals, identify their audience, and define UI requirements. The program emphasizes creating well-designed reports that help professionals stand out.
The results show that over 500 professionals have completed Pereira’s courses, and more than 6,000 people have downloaded her report design templates. Mara Pereira created these templates in Figma, including PBIX and Figma files, to provide professionals with ready-to-use solutions.
Why 500+ Professionals Can’t Stop Talking About This Course
The bootcamp transforms how professionals work with data visualization. Students develop clear, meaningful reporting solutions by combining technical skills and design principles. The program turns them into skilled report designers that employers actively seek.
“I genuinely think Mara Pereira is an amazing teacher,” shares Annabel from the UK. “I have never been so engaged in a Power BI session! I was sitting there thinking, ‘OMG, this is something I can do AND actually enjoy.'” The demand for Power BI professionals grows daily, and the bootcamp helps participants advance their skills, earn recognition from peers, and unlock valuable opportunities.
The Course That’s Breaking Records at $147
Data Pears offers a wide range of learning opportunities. The flagship bootcamp ($147, previously $397) is available alongside the Report Design with Figma course ($147, previously $297) and the Power BI Requirements Gathering course ($27, previously $49).
The Report Design with Figma course teaches advanced report design techniques, including AI-powered methods, and provides ready-to-use templates. The Requirements Gathering course guides participants through identifying business goals, understanding target audiences, and defining UI needs.
These courses help professionals create reporting solutions that communicate effectively and look polished.
