Why this program matters

  • Without expert Looker mastery, your dashboards slow down by 40% in production, generating team frustrations and delays in critical decisions, hidden costs explode with poorly optimized queries exceeding 50k€/year in useless resources, LookML modeling errors cause 25% inaccuracies in analyses, losing market opportunities estimated at 15% of revenue, weak governance exposes GDPR risks with fines up to 4% of revenue, competitors with scalable BI overtake you, demotivated team flees to competitor trainings, invest 35h to avoid these pitfalls and boost BI ROI x3.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Looker Expert training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
