About the Course

This is the first course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. Organizations of all kinds need data analysts to help them improve their processes, identify opportunities and trends, launch new products, and make thoughtful decisions. In this course, you’ll be introduced to the world of data analytics through hands-on curriculum developed by Google. The material shared covers plenty of key data analytics topics, and it’s designed to give you an overview of what’s to come in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. Current Google data analysts will instruct and provide you with hands-on ways to accomplish common data analyst tasks using the best tools and resources. Learners who complete this certificate program will be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as data analysts. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, learners will: - Gain an understanding of the practices and processes employed by a junior or associate data analyst in their day-to-day job. - Learn about key analytical skills (data cleaning, data analysis, data visualization) and tools (spreadsheets, SQL, R programming, Tableau) that you can add to your professional toolbox. - Discover a wide variety of terms and concepts relevant to the role of a junior data analyst, such as the data life cycle and the data analysis process. - Evaluate the role of analytics in the data ecosystem. - Conduct an analytical thinking self-assessment. - Explore job opportunities available to you upon program completion, and learn about best practices you can leverage during your job search....

Having little certificates along the way helps me feel accomplished and proud of myself. reaching smaller goals along the way to my large goal is exciting and makes me excited to learn the next steps.

Thank you so much. I've learned so much and am actually in the process of having a interview for a Cash Posting Specialist job where I will learn about Data Entry hands-on in thw work environment. I never thought I would be switching fields like this but this experience has been awesome. Hopefully one day i'll get to meet my instructors and thank them in person.

I personally enjoyed learning & taking the first steps towards the Data anlytics Path. What I truely admired about the course was the fact that it really covered the very basic aspects of Data (including tables, excel, SQL etc.) which makes it accessible to every individual who wants to learn even if they have literally no understanding and background of Data.

This course was fun to interact with, even I knew the tools of an data analyst it is very intriguing to learn about how google sets the process to be an analyst. Very pragmatic and straight forward without being overly seriously in providing the information to the students. I am looking forward to the reaming modules as this made me want to learn more about it.

Since i already spent over 30 years as an analyst, a lot of this course was more of a review. However, it was a great to be reminded of all the basics and how they play a most important part in data analysis. I'm glad I took this course. I highly recommend it to anyone but especially those are looking to reinstate, or reinvent, their role(s) in data analysis.

This class will NOT teach you about neural networks or random forests. It will teach you about the important 80% of the other work from breaking down a stakeholder problem into a data problem, cleaning data, finding trends, visualization, and reporting. Importantly, it also provides resources to prepare for applying for jobs including interviewing techniques.

I believe it is a great course, if you are a rookie who knows nothing at all I think it is a good fit, but if you are somewhat more experienced in analyzing data it is certainly too basic, if you have more experience I think your reasonable expectation would be to fine tune some definitions and learn of a lean process for analyzing data in a structured manner.

I thought that with my previous work which also involved data analysis, I already have built a good foundation & gained sufficient experience. But to my surprise, this course provided me with additional information and fresh insight into how data analytics work needed for my new quest as a data analyst. I am looking forward and ready to tackle the next course.

This course covers fundamental Data Analytics knowledge, but what truly stands out is the exceptional guidance and effective training material. Beginners can easily relate to and understand the material, and the abundance of practical exercises and quizzes helps sharpen their skills. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enter the field of Data Analysis.

Muy recomendable. Me gustó el enfoque de llevar el analisis de datos como un proceso ya ue le da orden a tareas que sueles hacer diariamente. El curso es ideal para personas que buscan incursionar en el analisis de datos y abarca muchos conceptos relativamente básicos, pero que te ayudan a refrescar conocimientos que puedes pasar por alto en tu labor diaria.

I'm only in my first week, and just getting into the intro module. Found out that I could have applied for financial aid, so I'm going to cancel and re-sign up, but I'm very amazed at how it's going so far, and it makes me really proud of Google and its efforts toward inclusion in education. Thank you also to Coursera for offering thic course, super grateful.

This wouldnt have been possible for me without the financial aid. Being unemployed in a post pandemic world with a 10mth old baby is challenging, but Im hopeful now. So with a grateful heart THANK YOU COURSERA. The way the course is being presented is excellent for a beginner like me. I'm grateful. proud, lucky and happy to be able to learn on your platform.

This course was really programmed, I would assume, with the help of data. It is intentionally built to not miss most of the details of what the course is about. Videos and self-reflection do really help a lot in making the information stick in your head. I could only imagine the resources and the principles this module was based from, it was well thought of.

This is a well-put-together course that deals precisely with what it states it deals with and does so with exceeding clarity and execution. It will set you on the right path if you are a beginner and remind you of core concepts if you need to refresh yourself. There are zero time-wasting or busy work types of assignments. I love this course for its concision.

As someone who is new to data analytics, this course provided a good overview of the field, the potential industries of interest, and outline for the remainder of the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. If you are similar to myself in being new to the field of data analytics, this course should also be immensely helpful and informative to you too.

Tony's narration was fantastic. His voice was audible and had the right pitch. The language used in the course was understandable and technical enough to be able to follow the course. The course taught me a lot of new things which I was not aware of before. I liked the way fairness and bias was dealt with. On the whole the course was well delivered and great.

I have learnt a lot from this course. I love the layout of it as it makes it understandable for everyone. They break it down and continue to use the terms they explained in every video so you do not forget what you learnt. I love the question box after each video to make sure you're listening to understand and not just to watch the video to get it over with.

This course is more helpful and gives you more insights than whatever is taught in schools. I have done a post-graduate diploma in this field and I still learned more through this course than I have learned in my 2 years of college. It gives you in-depth knowledge while getting you ready for the industry. Really hoping this will allow me to get my dream job

It has been an exhilarating process so far, I like how the course reflects the standard of operations and quality in google.This course is rich in content and can be understood by almost anyone who dedicates a portion of their time to the task.

I feel like I am getting my money's worth. Kudos to everyone that put this together from the videos to the slides.

This course was really clearly defined each step of engagement was well wrapped around the previous lessons. And because I am retired I was able to daily put in time on it. The glossary and ability to read along the videos really helped me get a full impact of the information and take really good notes from clips directly in the applications used for study.

I would view this course as the foundation. There are a lot of things in here I learned that I already knew. For example, using Excel, SQL, and etc. The problem for me was that I did not know the concepts of Data Analysis and how you put all the skills together. I could kick myself. I did not have a background in Analysis, just SQL and Database Development.

This is really a great course for every one like if you are a beginner it will be really beneficial for you. Here they not only teach you but also make you to feel how being a data analysist feels and what they actually do. They also tell you what are the job opportunities and help you to find which suits you best. I will definitely recommend this course.

This is a really good introduction course about how important data is and the steps that you need to do with the data. It is impressive to me that data could be utilized in a lot of fields. I would suggest for anyone who begins their journey in data analytics take this course because it is really useful to build your fundamental knowledge as a data analyst
