Yes, though the hands-on work is mostly guided practice rather than a single open-ended project. You'll work through exercises such as connecting to data sources, cleaning and transforming data, creating measures, formatting reports, and managing workspace or refresh settings. That format works well for exam prep because you apply each skill in context before testing yourself on the mock exam.

The course focuses on the main PL-300 skill areas: preparing data, modeling data, visualizing and analyzing data, and deploying and maintaining Power BI assets. You'll review tools and methods such as Power Query and DAX, then use them in reporting, performance, security, and sharing tasks. Overall, it gives you a broad exam-centered review of how Power BI is used across the full analyst workflow.

By the end, you should be able to work through the core PL-300 tasks with more confidence and know where you still need review before the real exam. For example, you should be able to take a dataset, prepare it, build key model calculations, create interactive reports, and manage features such as scheduled refresh or row-level security. You'll also have a clearer picture of exam logistics, study strategy, and what the mock results say about your readiness.

It's more like guided, applied review than theory-heavy study. The course explains the exam topics, then reinforces them through step-by-step exercises, quizzes, and a mock exam rather than a big independent project. It's a good fit if you want structured practice with Power BI tasks.
