Who this is for

For BI developer or data engineer on older stacks.

You already do part of this job. The program closes the gap between where you are and being seen as a Fabric Data Engineer.

  • You are a BI developer or data engineer on older stacks and want the next role
  • You know your domain; Microsoft Fabric is what you are missing
  • You can give evenings and weekends for the length of the program
  • You'd rather show working projects than a certificate

Probably not for you, yet

If you haven't worked in the domain at all, a counsellor will say so on the call and point you to a better starting program. If you want a certificate more than a portfolio, this isn't it.

What you'll build

Three projects you can show.

Each project is modelled on the mentors' production work and reviewed 1:1. Together they are your portfolio.

  • Project 1

    A Microsoft Fabric project from real work

    Modelled on the mentor's production work, with the messy parts left in, reviewed 1:1.

  • Project 2

    A build you own end to end

    Brief, build, review: the way a manager would hand it to you, with the checks that stop it breaking next month.

  • Project 3

    A final project reviewed like production

    Published, documented and defended, with the notes a senior would give you.

Curriculum

Eight modules, in the order the work happens.

24 to 36 weeks, depending on your pace. Each module ends with an assignment a mentor reviews.

  • Reviewed in Sep 2026: 24 topics added to match what the work now asks for.

How the weeks run

Built around a full-time job.

A counsellor confirms the exact days and times for your batch on the call.

  1. Weeknight live classes

    Two evenings a week with the mentor, on the work of the week.

  2. Weekend lab

    Project time with the mentor in the room: build, get stuck, get unstuck.

  3. Recordings and 1:1 slots

    Every class recorded the same day; 1:1 doubt-solving whenever you're stuck.

  4. Final project review

    Your projects reviewed like production work, with notes you can act on.

Questions

About this program.

Anything else: ask on the call.

Yes. The program assumes you know your work, not the tool. If you've never worked in the domain, a counsellor will point you to a better start.

Bring your current work to the call.

A counsellor looks at what you do today and tells you, straight, whether Microsoft Fabric Fellowship is the right next step.
