Course description
Ask a data team in Islamabad or Karachi what they are moving to and a lot of them say Microsoft Fabric. One platform with storage, pipelines, Spark, a SQL warehouse, real-time data and Power BI under the same roof. The catch is that people who already know Power BI or SQL open Fabric for the first time and can't tell which of the many items to create first. This course fixes that, with eight weeks of building real things in a real Fabric workspace.
Onsite, we meet for five classes a week, Monday to Friday, three hours each, in either the 3:00 to 6:00 PM or the 6:00 to 9:00 PM shift. That is the pace the outline below is written for. The online batch meets on Saturday and Sunday and follows the same week-by-week outline at its own pace, so you cover the same topics and the same labs. We build one story from week one to week eight: a Pakistani business sends us messy files, and we turn them into a governed, refreshing, secured dashboard.
You'll write PySpark and T-SQL, build pipelines, model for Direct Lake, stream a few events into a KQL database and set an alert on them. The course also helps you prepare for Microsoft's DP-600 (Fabric Analytics Engineer) and DP-700 (Fabric Data Engineer) exams. Those exams are Microsoft's own, we can prepare you but we can't promise a pass. Fabric changes its menus often, so we teach the concepts first and tell you to check Microsoft's current documentation whenever a detail is likely to move.

What You'll Learn
Explain how a Fabric tenant, capacity, workspace, item and OneLake fit together, and set up a clean workspace for a team
Build a Lakehouse with bronze, silver and gold layers in Delta format, and use shortcuts instead of copying data
Create Data Factory pipelines and Dataflows Gen2 with parameters, schedules and failure alerts
Write PySpark notebooks that clean, join and write Delta tables, and keep those tables healthy with OPTIMIZE and VACUUM
Model a star schema in a Fabric Warehouse and query it with T-SQL, including through the SQL analytics endpoint of a Lakehouse
Build a semantic model in Direct Lake mode, write DAX measures and secure the report with row-level security
Stream events with an Eventstream, query them in an Eventhouse with KQL and trigger an Activator alert
Deliver an end-to-end capstone and prepare for Fabric job interviews and the DP-600 and DP-700 exams

Final Assessment: Become a Hands-on Fabric Expert
Twenty-five questions across all eight weeks. You need 70 percent to pass and earn the course certificate. You have 60 minutes.
25 questions
Set up a Fabric workspace the way a team would
Start a trial, create Dev and Prod workspaces, assign roles to two classmates, and write down which item goes where and why. Most messes we see in real tenants begin with one giant workspace nobody owns.
Hands-on Lab Task
Land raw files and build bronze, silver and gold
Load a distributor's CSV exports into a Lakehouse, clean them into silver Delta tables and build a gold sales table. Then drop in a corrected file and replay the whole chain without hand edits.
Hands-on Lab Task
Build a parameterised pipeline with an alert
Create a pipeline that loops over a list of tables, copies each one with a Copy activity, runs a notebook and sends you a message when something fails. Break it on purpose, then read the run history to find out why.
Hands-on Lab Task
Write a PySpark notebook that deduplicates and joins
Clean a telecom recharge extract, remove duplicate transactions with a window function, join the dimensions and write a Delta table. Check the row counts before and after, and explain every row that went missing.
Hands-on Lab Task
Model and load a warehouse star schema
Create fact and dimension tables in a Fabric Warehouse, load them from your lakehouse with T-SQL, and check that a Power BI slicer gives the same total as your SQL.
Hands-on Lab Task
Ship a Direct Lake report with row-level security and an alert
Build a semantic model over your gold tables, create a regional security role, test it with View as, and set an Activator rule on a live event stream that messages you when a threshold is crossed.
Hands-on Lab Task
Curriculum
A student of ours spent a whole afternoon building a pipeline, then couldn't find it again because it sat in his "My workspace" and the rest of the team had no access. Fabric rewards people who understand where things live before they click anything. This week is the map: tenant, capacity, workspace, item, and the single storage layer under all of it, OneLake.
What we cover
- Day 1: What Fabric is and what it replaces. Where Power BI, Azure Data Factory, Synapse and Spark ideas show up inside it, and the tenant and Entra ID basics
- Day 2: Capacities and the trial. What a capacity is, how workspaces get assigned to one, and why you should check Microsoft's current documentation for trial rules and limits rather than trust a blog post from last year
- Day 3: Workspaces and items. Roles (Admin, Member, Contributor, Viewer), naming conventions and a Dev and Prod split
- Day 4: OneLake in plain words. One logical lake for the whole tenant, Delta as the default table format, and the OneLake file explorer on your laptop
- Day 5: Lakehouse or Warehouse? A decision exercise with six small business cases, and a first look at the Monitor hub
In the lab
Create a Dev workspace and a Prod workspace, add a Lakehouse to Dev, upload a small sales CSV and view it from OneLake. Give a classmate the Viewer role and see what they can and can't do. One gotcha practitioners learn the hard way: workspace roles are inherited by every item inside, so give access at the right level on day one.
Bring back next week
A one-page sketch of your workspace layout, plus your answer to "which of the six cases would you put in a Lakehouse and which in a Warehouse, and why?"

Requirements
- Basic SQL (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). If you finished our SQL track you're fine
- Some exposure to Power BI or Excel dashboards is helpful, not mandatory. We recap the DAX you need
- A laptop with a modern browser and a stable internet connection. Fabric runs in the browser, so you don't install a heavy tool
- A work or school Microsoft account that can start a Fabric trial. We help you set it up in week one, and the trial terms are Microsoft's, so check the current ones
