Curbal is a Power BI learning and consulting platform operated by Curbal AB in Sweden. Its content focuses on Power BI, Power Query, M Language, report design, and enterprise BI implementation. The site offers online courses, YouTube tutorials, a community, report galleries, and both remote and on-site consulting services. Rather than being a broad data science platform, it is a more specialized resource for improving Power BI skills.
Based on the available content, courses include the free Introduction to Power BI, Power BI for beginners, M Language Course, Power Query Course, as well as Power BI Master Class and MINI Master Class. Paid courses are presented as short-form video training: for example, the M Language Course includes 60 short videos, around 3 hours of training, and 3 preview lessons; the Power Query Course includes 57 short videos, around 3 hours of training, and Lifetime Access. The pages do not clearly mention live sessions, assignment review, or certificates, so the overall format is closer to self-paced recorded learning. There are also more than 800 YouTube videos, updated weekly, which can serve as supplementary learning resources.
The platform is led by Ruth Pozuelo Martinez, owner of Curbal AB. She describes herself as a Microsoft Data Platform MVP and delivers Power BI solutions for both international and local clients. She is also the instructor for Curbal’s online courses, and the YouTube channel has over 130,000 subscribers. For learners, this suggests the courses are more practice- and tool-oriented rather than purely theoretical.
Pricing information is relatively transparent: free introductory courses are available; M Language Course costs €265, Power Query Course costs €125; Power BI Master Class 1 costs €169, and MINI Master Class costs €59. Some pricing pages list amounts excluding VAT. Digital products are delivered via download or account access; orders are usually processed within 1 hour, but may take up to 24 hours. The refund policy is fairly strict: products are generally non-refundable after download, while refunds may be requested within 30 days if the product has not been downloaded or received.
The strengths are its focused topic coverage, abundant free resources, an instructor with MVP and consulting experience, and lifetime course access. It also provides hourly help, report design, and enterprise implementation consulting. The drawbacks are that it does not clearly specify teaching language, subtitles, certificates, the depth of learning-community support, or payment methods; the DAX course has not yet launched. It is suitable for Power BI beginners, business analysts, BI consultants, and users who need to strengthen their Power Query/M Language skills.
The website does not disclose information about access from mainland China, payment methods, or localization support. Since the courses involve external video resources such as YouTube/Vimeo, the actual access experience may be uncertain, so access from China is rated as “unknown.” If network or payment barriers arise, alternatives include Microsoft Learn, Udemy, Coursera, DataCamp, or Power BI / Power Query courses on domestic Chinese platforms.
