For a more technical / hands on approach consider Dataquest (this is where I learned much of what I know). You will learn will learn SQL, Python, R, and more)! This is a recommendation link I do not get paid, but you will get $15 dollars off.

It was a great discussion.. I thoroughly enjoyed the valuable insights and opinions.. I am an oil & gas professional with 18 years experience, master’s degree in energy, bachelor’s in mechanical and PMP certified.. with COVID, I am finding it hard to find new opportunities after being jobless for almost a year now.. i am doing this certification so that I can perhaps get work as analyst with oil & gas or energy-focussed industry or even renewables..As i am located outside US, I am not sure on how to proceed with job market.. would love your inputs on the same.. I am in 7th course and learning programming for first time! Hope i can pull through.. any recommendations would be appreciated.. thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

With me on disability for over 10 years it took the joy out of me. I took this program just in case I get back in the working society which I miss very much, I've been honing my skills for the past 5 years and it's not easy. I have to start at the very bottom in order to get into data analytics, but mainly as part time temporary or as a freelancer. It is difficult especially at my age (50s)

The sub text to both these guys opinion is clear ... you can't communicate clearly and have no real credibility without an underlying Degree. Period.

Very insightful. Thank you very much, I stumbled upon this video. I've just subscribed and I am looking forward to see more of your content. :)

Imagine that.. people ruining something for others lol. Very good point to touch on.. it’s only what you make of it. I’m sure it’s a similar situation for a lot of other cert. courses.. hoping something good will come out of this for me though.. even if it’s just furthering my own knowledge.

[mkpeter]

Great video and info! I started the program last week and am loving it so far. Currently a workforce management analyst and am wanting to expand my knowledge. I'll be digging my feet and keeping at it. I'm not new to online courses so I'm feeling good so far.

[MrDrunkscottsman]

I want to complete this course and add to my portfolio for a career. I really hope I can land a job with my work ethic 💪

Hello can i get Job with Google Analytics certificate without have a bachelor's degree? thank you

[binksterb]

Week 6 and I have one issue with the course. Google should split the SQL and spreadsheet part, commands can get confusing as to what goes where. 20+ years working IT if you remember DBase I learned off of that, so I have had exposure most IT people do. The thing that nobody mentions is personality, if you don't get along with people, and can't get in front of a small group you won't make it. My two cents gentleman. Thank you for all you do.

[vilasmhaske]

Nice video, you motivate us/me. Digital world is going on guide sir

[abiman]

Js finished the course, brilliantly designed.

[EliaMartali]

I have graduated from B.S in mechanical engineering in May 2020 and still can’t find a job. I have decided to get this certification to find a data analyst job or at least boost my job search as an entry level mechanical engineer. What your thoughts about it?

[theav.]

I enjoy listening to these two! Conversation has substance!

[abdulhafizalmasri]

Great video, awsome discussion.
I'm still in course 1 of this cert. I took it cos it will be helpful at my work at the pharmacy since we analyze data in a way or another, but this course will shape the way I think hence get better conclusions.

[AnuActiveThoughts]

Hello,
Your video is quite interesting and useful 👍.
I need some info that I have finished MCA(master of computer applications)2011.I got the job offers but unable to jion due to uncertainty in one
Country to live.


Accordingly, where do I need to start??
any course SQL, Python first?? Or I have to do this type of certification??
I'm confused to understand this 😕please guide me.

[banned_from_eating_cookies]

Very helpful discussion and analysis. I was thinking that the Certificate would be the most ‘worth it’ for those with a non-Data Science (or non-numerate) degree, but who wish to switch to data analytics.

[lncredibleIndian]

Hii, I don't have laptop, can I complete google data analytics full course in mobile?

[Arjungopalcg]

but as of 27-06-2021, only 18123 people have enrolled in course 8 of the professional certificate program. which means only that many people have completed the course.

[konstantinradu]
