This gives a great foundation for Data Analytics. The instructors do skim over everything and I would have liked more detail but most of what I wanted to find out more about I was able to find online.

I already have a background in analysis, but it is refreshing to hear that the professionals at Google have gone and are going through many of the same stuggles I face. Learning about the methodology they use to ask and answer questions has already started to impact my work in a positive manner.

data analytics is a very good career. ... Fittingly, high demand for Data Analysts correlates to an increase in salary—many Data Analysts' salaries sit quite comfortably above the $70,000 line, even in junior positions, with senior and highly specialized positions typically reaching over $100,000

The first module really did provide the basics of spreadsheet, SQL, and other programs that data analyst will get to use. They provide resources like getting familar with Excel and knowing how to use it and as well as SQL it was very interesting being able to experiment and using it for practice.

Great content and most relevant reference materials to build on learnings. I liked how brief the topic videos were, yet so informative. I have learnt such a lot in such a short period of time. Most important for me as an entrepreneur is the applicability of the learning material to any business.

Some of the test questions are tricky, and the final course exam had 2 questions that were not discussed in the course materials, but were more behavioral "what would you do" type questions. But, overall a this course was good introduction to data analytics. I will continue with the next course.

For a foundations course, it was very comprehensive. I got a lot more out of it when using the 'Coach' to help me practice and doing deep dives into the industry that I was interested in & this was in the context of data analytics. I am now continuing with my journey of the next set of modules.
