Here is an excerpt from the interview with Tausif, a Tableau Trainer:
Q1. When and how you started as a Tableau Trainer?
Ans: I started conducting training for Tableau from 2016. The move to become a trainer from an IT professional was mainly due to the changes I was observing around me. As a lover of technology, I would always keep myself updated with the latest tools and developments. I realised that there are many students and professionals out there who are looking for guidance when it comes to learning a software of any tool in-depth. My 9 years of work experience and the will to share my knowledge helped me set out as a Tableau trainer.
Q2. What skills are required to become a Tableau Trainer?
Ans: There are numerous skills that a trainer must have. However, as a Tableau Trainer, you should have good knowledge of Excel, SQL and Data Warehousing concepts.
Q3. What do you think makes you stand out from other Tableau Trainers on UrbanPro.com?
Ans: Right now, this is a difficult question for me to answer as each trainer has their own logic and skills in training. As a Tableau trainer, I ensure that I give my best and share my knowledge along with real-time solutions. This helps my students a lot. Currently, Tableau usage and scope in the market is growing. I provide training in a detailed manner that will prepare my students for the job market.
Q4. How you came across UrbanPro.com?
Ans: I believe in word of mouth publicity more than any other form of advertisement. One of my friends already had a profile on UrbanPro and has been getting enquiries. So, he suggested that I use UrbanPro to reach out to more students and increase my student base.
Q5. What was the turning point in your career?
Ans:Just like every coin has two sides, my career too had its fair share of ups and downs. Before being a Tableau trainer I was working as a VBA expert. I wasn’t very happy with the kind of opportunities that were coming my way. As my interest in training grew, I did a gradual switch to becoming a Tableau trainer. So, the change happened with a lot of hard work and blessing from parents and God and the will to follow my passion.
Q6. How UrbanPro.com platform helped you to expand your Tableau Classes?
Ans: Since I am new to UrbanPro, it is too early to answer this question. However, even if a single enquiry converts and that person is happy with my training I can get more students through that.
Q7. What percentage of your work comes from UrbanPro?
Ans: So far I have been providing training to people and audience I received through word of mouth publicity. I would love to grow through UrbanPro.
