About Fabric Forge

The curriculum spans data engineering, Power BI, databases and AI workloads, taught through structured lectures, hands-on exercises and real-world tutorials.[1] Lessons focus on practical, job-relevant skills learned by doing.[1] Members can ask questions, share progress and get support from other learners.[1] Four named experts hold weekly calls: Partanen, fellow Microsoft Fabric MVP Heini Ilmarinen, Teemu Multanen (MCT and data engineering) and Anton Jääskeläinen (Power BI and analytics engineering).[1]

Partanen is also a co-founder of CertiAce, a CertiAce Oy product that sells exam-style practice questions, timed mock exams and case studies for major Microsoft exams.[3][4] As of September 2026, CertiAce Pro cost $19.90 a month or $199 a year, with cancellation at any time.[5] Partanen's link page also points to a Microsoft Fabric Discord server that is free to join.[3] The YouTube channel, titled Aleksi Partanen - Master Microsoft Fabric, notes that some of its links may be affiliate links.[6]
