This course is very beginner friendly. I recommend it to anyone with zero knowledge of data analysis wanting to get started with a career in the data field.

Also, the instructors right from Course 1 have been nothing short of amazing.

Great course! My only complaint is that I don't think anyone with an analytical mind would enjoy using LinkedIn. That site is a disorganized mess filled with insurance sales people trying to get you to go to "free lunch" meetings.

I loved this course because it introduced me to Kaggle and BigQuery. I will say this course went from zero to 60 faster than a Hellcat but I enjoyed every second of it. I am anxious to put my new skills to work and practice SQL.

The course was fantastic, and the instruction was excellent. However, I needed some help with using BigQuery, finding it somewhat challenging. I find Microsoft SQL much more user-friendly and prefer it as my go-to tool.
