    I completed the original Data Analytics certification about 3 months ago. The course is very good for beginners, however, I think Google needs to take off the aspect of “be job ready in 3-6 months” and “connect with employers.” Most of the jobs on the platform are requiring a degree and prior experience, and didn’t care about any of my work that I’d done from completing the certificate.
    I wasn’t expecting to get a job because of the certificate but out of the small handful of interviews I got, which were for entry level positions, they all denied me on the basis of “lacking experience/not the right degree.” Even though one recruiter commented “that’s impressive you learned how to do this type of work within 4 months.” Truly sucks that Google isn’t trying to help more with these programs and actually help people land some jobs

    • @Geomaverick124

      The thing with these certificates is that they are for beginners but not for entry level jobs. I'd suggest going through the META Database certificate too and get a certification with either Microsoft Power Bi and/or Tableau...Tableau may be simpler because the original DA Course goes through Tableau

      For me, learning through Google DA course is too surface, I mean it’s too easy to be true. Everything they touch, they touch very little especially in coding part. I understand nothing from it, I have to go out find much more resources to understand it. They need to be more intense.

    Thanks for this video, Luke, and for not having it sponsored! I did the original Data Analytics course, and although it was helpful, it provided a mere taste of tools like R, SQL and Tableau. I really liked the UC Davis Tableau specialization. (The only aspect I didn't like was being dependent on the peer review pass/fail system, as a lot of people didn't take it seriously.)

    I think these courses are supposed to be taken in addition to the first course. If you take the course by itself then you will wind up missing a bunch of stuff.
    I would suggest to take all 3 and take the META Database Course or the SQL for Data Science and then get a tool cert like Power BI or Tableau. If short on time, take the Original Google DA certificate, META Database Engineer Certificate, and get the Tableau Data Analyst certification...you will still need to build plenty of projects. The certification will just set you a part

    It is out of print now, but the best series I ever read on SQL Development was Joes2Pros 2012 ... granted its focused on T-SQL. That said, it didn't cover SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), which is really how folks built ETL for many years to move data between systems in Microsoft world, but the series will give you advanced SQL coding skills that you need to effectively leverage SSIS.

However, I'm not really interested in taking the Google Advanced Analytics course, and I wouldn't really recommend Google courses to others. There are quite a few errors in the course, and Google doesn't seem to update it regularly. Also, there are gaps in the content, and many students have mentioned feeling confused about certain course materials.

    I've finally made up my mind to start my journey from the scratch. For the sole purpose of bettering my life and learning data analytics, I've bought new laptop since the old one was very faulty and slow and I'm planning to genuinely start from zero. Yes, motivation goes away sometimes especially if you're alone or doing this at home so it will be really great if someone also wants to join me on this journey....if there's someone just starting out and also want someone to be constantly reminded of the progress...i think by sharing progress and telling each other what it needs to be done, we will progress faster than average. So let me know when anyone is interested.... It would be faster to learn together, maybe in a group and sharing useful information

    Something interesting to know is that here in Mexico, many of the recruiters have no idea what they are looking for, for companies here in México or companies in the USA, If you show them many certificates and documents that prove that you know about the subject, it is more likely that they will hire you, another detail that goes from the The hand is that many companies (large, medium and small) believe that they know what they need and believe that they know what they are looking for, so it will be common to see many hybrid profiles, something like a data analyst doing business analyst work or a data scientist who works as a business intelligence analyst and many similar things, however, on many occasions they ask for requirements that are never used, it is something strange, don't you think?

But then I scouted the courses on Coursera and read some comments here, and the courses for that certificate seem too basic and surface-level.

    Luke, I wanna extend a huge thank you for posting this video. As you mention, these certifications are good for someone who is brand new to the field and needs breadth of understanding of the field in general, hence the video heavy curriculum. I have an MBA in Business Analytics and we covered R in my program, not Python. As I have more experience in programming, I’m looking for something to get my hands dirty with, but also with thorough explanations so I can understand it better. I’ve tried DataCamp but I find that I learn less/use less critical thinking skills with the fill-in the black style code explanations. I’m going to audit the python for everybody and also try Dataquest. I’ll make sure to let you know how it goes!!

    I am taking Google Certificate in Data Analysis right now. Befire this, I had taken SQl and Tablaeu basic. I am doing this for certificate and for discipline/order. To be good on mybown, I am having difficulty finding how to practice beginners knowledge and to gain intermediate knowledge. I was getting overwhelmed and also got me a job and became busy with it. For the whole year, I could not use my data analysis skills. So I decided to take the course.
    It is very basic. It wastes a lot of your time in useless exercises that dont teach you anything. Instead of making you create more small projects to learn better.
    The exam questions are okay. Some of them are good, some are ridiculous but better than the opinion essays you have to write which in my opinion is waste of time

    When I decided to become a Data analyst 1 year ago, I met you while searching for an answer to "where should I start?". I'm following you for these thorough and honest reviews. And I learned a lot from you. In one of your comments, when I asked if I was too old for these jobs, you said that age is just a number. Remember? :)). Your statement was really encouraging for me. Really thanks.
    Clearly; If you want to have a job, SQL, Excel, Tableau, Power BI, Phyton or R, which are the entry-level tools you learn from the courses, if you do not have real-life studies in at least 3 of them, the probability of finding a job is very low. I learned this from you, and real life confirms this. No employer just looks at this certificate and asks for your bank account number. That's why, after getting the original analytical certificate, I spend my time, to sharpening my skills which I gain with course, to get specialist certificates instead of general certificates. I would be wasting my time if it weren't for those who share their honest and impartial personal experiences like you. I received my certificate in January/2023. Now I have come a long way in SQL, R (I started with the original Google analytics certificate and I love this language.) and Tableau. I am preparing for the Tableau Certification Proctored exam. You are an important figure for this community. Thanks again.

    First, after watching one of your other videos, I have to admit it was a shock to see NPTU Ballston Spa on a resume screenshot.
    That being said, instead of going with the Google Cert I opted for the IBM course because of the Python piece. Admittedly, there was a lot of hand holding there too. But, there are a ton of resources to practically learning Python.

    You see, Google courses gives you a ton of knowledge, but doesn't have practices simulating real world, is just more theory than practice! Luke you should review the "Break Into Tech" Data Analytics Course taught by Charlotte Chaze, thats a course thats prepares yoy for the role literally!

    Brah. I'm over 50% in on the Business Intelligence course after 6-days. So far, I'd rate it as "pathetic" level. I honestly don't think I've learned anything of use yet. It's also "padded-out" with loads of videos from the Data Analytics course. Honestly, they could have made this a single course over 1 week and it would have had better value. Thumbs down so far.

    I took the first Google Certificate course. And I didn't really learn much from it other than a bunch of busy work.

So I'd say just take courses from Maven Analytics instead.

    Hey Luke!
    I came across your TH-cam from a recommendation on LinkedIn. You got a new subscriber here! So, I’m a beginner in data analytics and I’m working towards an entry level role.
    However, I’m kind of stuck. I wanted to get a professionals advice on how to think like an analyst? For example, im doing guided projects and they’re helpful and all but when I’m with my own dataset, I don’t know what to extract from the data. Could you give some advice on what to look for, what to extract, etc. from datasets? Or how I can improve my analytical thinking. I want to be able to apply my SQL skills along with critical-thinking/problem-solving skills.
    If you see this, I’d love to hear back from you. Thanks and keep up the helpful content!
