What is Dimensional Modeling Advanced
Dimensional Modeling Advanced is an in-depth training designed to refine your expertise in developing and optimizing dimensional data models. This training builds upon foundational knowledge, focusing on advanced techniques for designing scalable, high-performance models that support business intelligence and analytics. You’ll explore complex scenarios, best practices, and methodologies, while addressing challenges such as
- Slowly Changing Dimensions type 0-7,
- Storing History for Big Dimensions,
- Aggregated Fact Tables,
- Archiving Fact Tables,
- Bridge Tables,
- Source Driven vs Target Driven Development,
- Performance Tuning,
- Using GenAI in developing Dimensional Models.
During this training, you will be challenged to apply what you have learnt in practical use cases. As a result, you will not only understand, but also recognize when and how to use the advanced topics and techniques that are tackled throughout this training.
This training deepens your understanding of dimensional modeling by addressing complex real-world challenges and providing actionable insights. Our experienced trainers bring practical knowledge to the table, ensuring that theoretical concepts are paired with real-world best practices. You’ll learn how to create models that enhance data accessibility, improve query performance, and support business decision-making. Whether you’re fine-tuning existing models or building new ones, this training empowers you with tools and techniques to tackle advanced modeling tasks confidently.

Classroom, online, blended and in-company
At Capgemini Academy you learn in the way that suits you. Do you prefer classroom training, online or a combination of the two (blended)? You can follow most training courses in-company: within your own organization. We use a variety of tools to make learning even more fun and effective. Consider videos, games, quizzes, webinars and case studies, for example. And you can always contact your trainer with any questions.
In-company training courses
With an in-company training you have several advantages:
- You choose the location.
- You train with your colleagues, ensuring it aligns with your practice.
- The trainer tailors explanations, examples and assignments to your organization.
- In consultation, exercises can be adapted to organization-specific questions.
