I've been using SSRS for a few months but I seem to run into problems with a few things and then sometimes am able to solve them via the web, sometimes not. In addition I think a course might point out ways of doing something that I've not even considered because I'm only aware of certain things in SSRS

A bit like in T-SQL there's usually 50 different ways to get to the same outcome with some being far more elegant than others!
