    Ma'am it's sounding to me like you'd be s GREAT candidate for designing a Data Analytics course. There are folks who did it for a year & are now selling courses. But your breakdown is nothing like theirs. You CLEARLY have more experience & thus the ability to develop a more effective strategy.

      I 100% agree with this comment. The way she explained how the course should’ve have gone would’ve been SO MUCH more helpful. I actually started doing some courses on LinkedIn Learning because there were actual walk throughs and it made more sense certification wise. I’d DEFINITELY invest in a course by her though.

    Spot on. I am at Capstone part of course and def don’t feel ready to work as a DA. Overall, a good intro to the field and exposed me tools like SQL and Tableau which I enjoyed using but didn’t provide much in-depth instruction. Did a lot of google searches when confronted with issues. You’re right! Working with a dataset from beginning of program would’ve helped.

    Glad you don't have an affiliate link in your bio. Makes your review more credible unlike a lot of other youtubers.
    The thing is that it looks good on your cv, and when it says "google certificate" recruiters will take interest. It's nice to have on your cv, and a booster in terms of
    getting attention from recruiters, but like most jobs, you're more likely to actually learn on the job once you get a foot inside the door.

    I've been doing this for over 15 years, and I think this course is good for someone who is not sure if data analyst is the route they want to go. It's a high-level overview where you get a taste of everything to see if it's for you without a big $$ investment. Or, alternatively, if you've been away from working with data on the regular, maybe as a refresher. Those are the two uses cases where I see it being useful.

To be fare to the course, it's only a certificate. Also, as you stated, it's a beginner level certificate course. So i wouldn't imagine that this course alone would prepare you for an actual job as an analyst. I'm sure it's just meant to be a stepping stone.

    As far as I know, Data Analysts use SQL+Visualisation tool(PowerBI or Tableau).
    I expect any Data Analytics course/certification/bootcamp to focus solely on the skills mentioned in the previous line.
    Please make your own tutorial, based on your experience in the industry.

    Love this video. I'm taking a Data Analytics course via my employer. What you described, is what I'm dealing with...a very high-level course. I feel like I'm getting exposure to various tools (tools my team don't even use), but am I learning anything, I don't think so. I was thinking the same thing you said, why not start a project with the basics, and build on that? Maybe these courses wouldn't feel so "choppy". I am thinking about taking the Google course to see what all the hype is about, but I'll keep it to a month.
    I spoke with a recruiter yesterday and I said to her, it seems like employers want applicants to come to the table already knowing the role? When in the world did that happen? If I'm applying for a role, and I know every bullet point in the job description, don't you think a person will be bored in 3 months?
    Here's to job searching in 2024!

    • @NakyaSherrell
      @NakyaSherrell  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      I agree with you. It felt like a training to me. I wish they had stuck to one data set and one project throughout the course especially since this is directed towards newbies. If you take the course and figure out the hype please let me know because I still dont get it. Also, with the jobs and job descriptions I agree they need to disclose properly if you want someone with 3-5yrs experience say that. Makes no sense how you list no experience required yet thats what you want.

    I've been working in the field for about 10 years, first as a data analyst, then as a data engineer. I got my first analyst position right out of college. That position didn't necessarily require a degree or certification, but certainly required skills in excel and SQL. In my estimation, over the whole of a bachelors degree in computer science with multiple minors, the initial analyst position used the contents from about 4-ish college courses.
    The reason I took this certificate is that it's cheap, doesn't expire, and has introductions both to Tableau and R, both of which aren't covered in most college curriculums, and which I'd never used in my career, but which lots of jobs do ask about.
    As discussed in this video, the estimated time of completion for the course is based on doing one module per week. The time estimated for tasks is much more than necessary (20 minutes for a short reading, 1 hour for a short optional assignment, etc). In my experience, you can do each module in an hour or two, and complete each course in a full work day, meaning you could do the entire certification in about a week if you've got the time, or easily a month if you're doing it with just your spare time.
    Given the time requirements to do it, the entire certification feels more comparable to a single college course, except that it's much cheaper, and it's much easier to pass.
    The total required workload for the certificate is 28 graded quizzes approximately one for each major module or 4 for each course, each having about 10 multiple choice questions. You need an 80% to pass, but can retake them up to 3 times per day.
    Based on what you're learning, you're probably getting about 25% of what you'd need in order to actually jump into an introductory job in the field, but my biggest worry is that you're just learning it the wrong way.
    The certification is split into 7 courses plus a capstone, but in my opinion the balance and structure of the courses is misguided, and the questions on the tests are often irrelevant to what you actually need to know. Instead of basing each course on a technical skill you need to be familiar with, each one is based on one step of the analysis model that you're presented with in the introduction. That means there's an entire 7th of the content and test questions dedicated to asking questions to clarify a project before even getting the data, and only a single 7th focusing on doing analysis.
    In theory, there are 3-4 courses about using spreadsheets and SQL, one about using Tableau, and one about using R, but because of the structure of the courses, none of them get as deep into those skills as they should, and while they cover a lot of great material, the multiple-choice nature of the graded quizzes mean that they're often fill-in-the-blank questions about definitions and weirdly-worded single-sentence explanations of things than actually testing your ability to actually do any of the skills you were taught.
    The whole thing comes off as feeling like you got a couple courses that touch on what you need to be an introductory analyst, a couple courses that introduce you to things you'll need later in your career if you move into BI or engineering, and probably 40% that feels really irrelevant altogether.
    All that said, it still feels like you're getting a couple thousand dollars worth of educational material for $40-60, so it's a no-brainer in terms of value.

    Your review pretty much summed up my thoughts on this course! This is not a real certification, this only gives you a "certificate of completion" and not an actual certificate (in the traditional sense). If you want a real Data Analyst certification you can do the Microsoft Power BI (P-300) or Tableau's Data Analyst course which is an actual industry standard cert. Only downside is that it costs hundreds of dollars

    I'm glad somebody in your position reviewed this. I felt the same way and I'm not even an analyst (YET). I feel like this course is only good for the soft skills it provides, and as somebody who had minimal Excel skills before the course, I will say improving those was the only benefit for me. As far as the hard skills, I'm like you there is no outside accountability whatsoever which is why most employers really won't and don't see this cert as valuable. Also, introducing R to somebody brand new to coding is insane 🤣🤣especially when most employers want Python anyway. I was able to grasp the concepts of SQL pretty well though, But I still feel like it doesn't prepare you for the real world enough. This is one of the main reasons I'm back in school now. Overall I'm considering taking this off my resume, I feel like it does more harm than good.

    • @NakyaSherrell

      Lol, I wish they would've stuck with SQL and Tableau instead of trying to incorporate R. That was a huge miss IMO. Python would've been better but if we are just covering the basics then SQL and Tableau would've been great. I also agree about the accountability. The fact that no one is checking your knowledge or reviewing your capstone project is wild to me. Like, how is this a certification? Also, its not very realistic to what data analysts are being asked to do. Wishing you good luck in your classes and job search.

Granted, I am working in a DA related role, so there's little value for me in a beginning course, I intend to sprint through it. I just wanted to see what the online hype was all about and to be confident I'm not missing any context for the advanced. One point I sort of disagree is that there's no one to ask - they have some community forum and keep asking you to engage in it through the course.

    Hi there! Thanks for sharing all this info. I've decided to take the coursera google course, but don't want to be charged so much in 6 months.
    Do you get to go over the course for free once you complete it? If I were to complete it in say, one month??

    • @NakyaSherrell

      This is directly from Coursera : you’ll have access to the same course content after completion that you did during the course, including reviewing assessments and downloading videos and transcripts.

      I just checked the website and it currently shows the cost is $49 per month. Your total cost can vary as it depends on how long it takes you to complete the course. If you take 6-months to complete it then you would end up paying close to $300 ($49x6).

      I'm not a hiring manager so I cant speak from that perspective. However, having taken the course I wouldnt say that its enough to do the job for a hiring manager looking for someone with experience. Also, not a complete waste of time. Its great to give insight to complete beginners and those thinking about pursuing a career in data analytics.

    Let me go a little further. For as little as $40 to gain the knowledge that you have enumerated cannot translate to 3/10. It is possible that you did not consider that you have been in the industry for FOUR YEARS. Consider that.

      I don’t believe that I’m contradicting myself. I had no data analytics skills and my manager knew that going in. My manager hired me for my domain knowledge. He was willing to train me. However, many jobs require you to have experience. I was the exception….not the rule. I don’t believe that you will gain the skills needed for an entry level job that wants someone with those skills/experience. But that’s just my two cents.

  • @ucbx
    @ucbx 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Instead of Google Certification, let's say a person with no prior experience studies and gets an Oracle SQL expert certification, a Tableau certification and Power BI certification. With these three certifications on a resume (plus Python skills) does this person have a chance of getting hired for a Data Analyst job? I'm aware that there are a lot of other factors that determine if a hiring manager will consider you, but do you think that these certifications are enough for a newbie to land the first job?

    • @NakyaSherrell
      @NakyaSherrell  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      I havent taken the Oracle SQL certification so I cannot speak to that. But in my opinion I think you'd have a better chance with the Tableau certification and Power BI - the Power BI certification I'm referring to is the one through Udemy (I'm currently taking this). I know that Coursera has one as well but I havent taken that one. Those certifications go into more detail than the Google data analytics one from coursera. In my Power BI certification so far we've been using the same data set so thats a plus for me.

Could you make a video advising from your experience and knowledge which courses you recommend taking after conccluding Google Data Analytics Certificate to achieve a level that an employer or manager could understand that the person has the skills and knowledge to give them a job at least as a junior data analyst? For example, a SQL and a Python course that upon completion we can have a Junior data analyst level, it will be very heplfull. Or please can you tell me in the comments.

    I would say that this is a good beginner course..It focus more on theory part than on the practical part..So you should do a course that would compliment this course that focus more on a practical side of data analytics..I am currently doing this course but I will definitely complete it..Excel,SQL and Tableau are the most important skills that you should learn..
