Course Overview
The Microsoft course Writing Reports with Report Designer and SSRS Level 3 is designed for data professionals seeking to master advanced reporting techniques using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). This course targets roles such as Business Intelligence Developer, Report Analyst, and Data Warehouse Specialist who are responsible for creating complex, paginated reports in enterprise environments. While there is no standalone certification exam specifically for SSRS, the skills taught align closely with broader Microsoft data platform certifications such as DP-500: Implementing Power BI Solutions, which includes reporting services integration. According to industry demand, over 60% of Fortune 500 companies continue to use SSRS for mission-critical reporting, underscoring its relevance in hybrid cloud and on-premises deployments.
Students engage directly with core Microsoft technologies including SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), Report Designer, Report Definition Language (RDL), and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) in a hands-on lab environment based on Visual Studio. The course includes intensive lab work where students build interactive, parameterized reports with drill-through actions, subreports, and custom formatting using real-world datasets. A key project involves designing a multi-layered financial report that integrates shared data sources and report parts deployed to a local SSRS server. Learners also gain experience importing legacy Access reports into RDL format and optimizing report performance through caching and rendering extensions within the SSDT interface.
This training prepares candidates for career advancement in data reporting and business intelligence roles, supporting pathways toward Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals or DP-500 certification preparation. Professionals with SSRS expertise earn an average annual salary of $123,729 in the United States, with senior-level developers commanding over $146,000 based on experience and technical depth. Koenig Solutions enhances learning outcomes with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official Microsoft courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led practice. Upon completion, learners are equipped to design enterprise-grade reporting solutions that meet modern data delivery standards and drive informed decision-making across organizations.
