CORRECTION: Google is estimating the time commitment to be 10 hours per WEEK, NOT per DAY like I said in the video 🤦🏼‍♂️ 😂 Apparently I didn't have enough coffee before making this video.

This video has changed my career, I remember one year ago when my friend told me to watch this video and pursue this certification, I glad that I did and after putting out a lot of hard work, I’m officially working as data analyst, thank you man for this life changing video .

[theMiaow]

I extremely like how google had a section where they demonstrated how everyone, even those who doubt themselves, have what it takes to be a data analyst. They gave us exercises that demonstrated that everyone can essentially have an analytical mind, even if you THOUGHT you don't

Really glad i took the course. My experience with it had been literally life changing

[LowFoeSam]

Honestly someone showing me Coursera changed my life. I used to do manual labor jobs. I felt super discouraged because my skillset was all in industrial settings like that when I hated those kinds of jobs but they were all I could get. Now I'm working to get a data analysis certificate to start doing what I love!

[UnforgivnSandman]

I really appreciate the quality of your content and coherence of speech, makes it easy to understand for even non-native English speakers. Thank you

[JAdoreQT]

I have experience in Power BI and I plan on doing this cert and then getting certified in Tableau. I am excited about this opportunity and I appreciate you taking the time to review the course.

[petecardona]

Awesome Luke! Appreciate the straightforward information and clarity of your videos.

Hi Luke!! So fun to meet another data creator here. I love how you really take the time to go into each of these course recommendations and thinking of the course with respect to pros and cons to your audience! What a great approach!

[Fawaduddin]

Well put content, straight to the point, accompanied by awesome ambient music...

[TRAGICxCITYxB]

Currently taking the course. I'm not a data analyst brushing up on skills, but I manage 8 food service locations at a university and I constantly analyze data to make decisions - from the food we serve, the marketing plan, to the labor needed every hour, etc. I'm an art college drop out and I loathe my job, but while thinking about what aspects of my job I do enjoy, I discovered it is analyzing data and making it beautiful for everyone using various visualization tools. I am also familiar with some coding - HTML, CSS, Javascript. So this is why I am taking this course. So far so good. I plan on taking the Data Mining and Data Science courses next.

[karrimomer]

Great video! I finished this certificate and ended up getting a job as an analyst. I can't recommend this certificate enough!

[sakethkumar]

thank you
from deepest part of my heart

I’m halfway through Course 4, and I’ve enjoyed it so far. I have a technical background (more hardware level, think A+ Certification). Some takeaways I have on this course is that the videos are a little dry, but select videos have a question or two that pop up through the video or at the end that pertains to the video content. I will say that it does seem like a very high-level overview of everything. I have learned a ton so far and will continue to finish the program. I have started looking at other courses on Udemy and YouTube to supplement my knowledge, especially since Courses 6-8 aren’t available yet (Tableau, R, and the Capstone Project).

[angelinarenae]

Thank you for this video. I went from being decisive in switching careers from teaching to Data Analytics, to feeling completely overwhelmed with the amount of info I need to learn, and not knowing what questions to ask, to feeling encouraged that this will be a great starting point. I’m enrolled and almost through Week 1 of the 1st course. I’m so ready to have a more technical degree and the opportunity for advancement and pay raises as I increase my skill set. That doesn’t really exist in education.

[syacool]

A very good n balanced 'intro' to the topic n almost spot-on, I would say.
Thank you so much Luke. Great Job.

[beyondtriggered]

Data Analyst here with a degree in an unrelated field. I got into it through self-study of SQL, Python, ML, and Google Analytics. I also got certified with the DA-100 and the retired MCSA's for Power BI. Planning on getting this one as well to help boost my background. I got my first job on complete luck (long story here) but I'm glad something like this is out there.

[hannahmatias]

Hey Luke, new to the channel, amazing content !! Can you make a video about your career path ?

[vizzyMcExee]

I have a BS in comp sci. Been in web dev for about 4ish years, looking to specialize in data science and analytics. Based on your explanation I think I'd have a better time giving the course a try than trying to go to grad school for the subject/studying on my own. I'm gonna jump in!

[StevenDoesStuff]

Thanks for the quality in-depth video.
I did the Google IT support professional in 3 days but I think I'll be spending much more time on this one because Data Analytics is still new to me. I hope I can transition from R and tableau to Python and Jupyter etc. once I get the hang of it :)
