The course is interesting as I get to learn the basic of SQL. However, I think the video on BigQuery requires a minor update as the UI for Google BigQuery has slightly changed. Hence, making it quite difficult for new users to continue learning for the topic. Overall, it is a great course to learn. Thanks Google!

That's amazing, I can't believed it those useful software that can help me to open my eyes about data world. Such as, Kaggle, Bigquery, and SQL. Those skills can help to better understand what is data? and how to used SQL to answer my questions. Therefore, studying at Google is the best decision I have ever made.

This is the first data analysis certification that I take to improve my professional profile. I hadn't been involved with data software before, so I was impressed by the "Hands-On Guided Project: Select a New City with BigQuery" activity. I think that the whole certification continues to have a good rhythm.

Engaging content and excellent delivery!

The difficulty level is easy (if you have been involved in spreadsheet analytics). My advice, if the content is familiar, it's efficient to go directly to course challenges and then go for the content to focus on areas which you believe you need to work on.

Very in-depth. Tells you what you need to learn to become a successful data analyst. It lays out a great foundation for steps you need to take and programs you need to learn! Not only that, it outlines the culture of what being a data analyst means and the people you are working with.

The course itself is excellent. I made a mistake by skipping the 3rd module and going straight from 2 to 4. I still do not understand how. And for that reason module 4 was difficult for me. You could not explain better all issues. I'm happy for my decision of taking this course!

Can improve the Big query tutorial part as some of it is not up to mark with regards to the exact references and even though it is advised to do the alternate but will help in learning phase to stick to the original contents and references. and Thanks for this amazing course :)
