I would also like to add that how fast you finish this course also probably depends on your background. If you have never touched coding before. It will be overwhelming for the first few months. But if you keep making end-to-end projects, you will become more confident and you will get over the steep learning curve. They say that it takes roughly 6 months and I say it is pretty accurate. So don't worry too much about not understanding concepts in the beginning. Focus on learning 1 concept well every day and you will eventually reach a point where you have a broad understanding of how computer languages work.
I'm on the 6th course of this Certificate, and man, self-study learning is hard! My brain is semi-fried after the past 4 months of going through it, and distractions are a real thing. Having the discipline to follow along with the videos, read the documents, practice with the hands-on exercises, and pass the quizzes is a challenge, especially without an accountability system. I can see why a lot of people don't finish it, as you really have to keep at it and you don't have anyone checking in with you. Making and maintaining a portfolio seems intimidating, but I know that's one of the best ways to keep skills sharp and setup for success.
depends how you learn, i hate having an accountability system, reason being is that i dont learn the standard school way. i dont know why but i need to keep drilling information until its muscle memory, if there was an accountability system for someone like me, it would only cause more stress as im prone to messing up in the beginning, especially with something like this that i have no knowledge of
I ended up finishing this Certification around March 2022. I think a good strategy for learning, and having the material stick a little better, is to have shorter study and practice sessions, but to have them daily, whether it's the first thing upon waking, or whenever you have 15 minutes to get through a lesson or two. I did do my fair share of cramming multiple hours some days. There is quite a bit of material, and I think it will take most people a few months to get through it. If you've used the software they cover, and are able to devote a decent amount of time daily to this, I could see someone getting through it pretty quickly. My review (which I may make a video of) is that this Certificate, while valuable, seems to better suit someone who is already working with spreadsheets, databases, and the related software or programming languages, rather than someone completely new to the field of data analytics. I don't agree with Google stating that these certificates are equal to a four year bachelor's degree. I view these certificates as more like one semester of courses, as they do take on average 3-6 months, roughly the same as a semester. If you're new to the field, build on this certificate by learning and practicing Excel, SQL, Tableau, and more, then, after going through a few months in each of those, I could see it being similar in value to a bachelor's degree.
Just as a some words of encouragement counteracting her comment: if you have a baby or a full time job... you can STILL do it! I have both a baby and a full time job and I’m currently working on my Google certificate. It is TOTALLY possible!! I could even argue it is perfect for people in my position too. It’s approximately 4-6 months or however long it takes you (as it is at your own pace) and there you are heading back into the work world with something more to present. All my lovely mommas that want a change, you CAN do it!!
Hi Jordan, I am interested in taking this course and have a question about the required software. Are there any programs you need to download to your computer, or can you accomplish all of the modules on-line through the Coursera site?
@@marcd1981 Everything is online, you will either use google sheets, bigquery and tableau, all of those software are web based. Don't worry about that aspect.
@5:11 This is key. The client or the boss will ask “Our sale is down, but nothing has changed. What went wrong?” It’s your job to ask follow up questions amd come up with kpi and models to find actionable insights. You are turning the requirements to the language computer can understand. You are a translator.
Totally agree with you Tina, the second course of the certificate I think is one of the topics that a big audience ignores. I have several years of experience using tools such as R, PowerBI, SQL, Python etc. And to be honest even if this a beginner certificate I felt that "Asking the right questions" was an area I wanted to reinforce. Furthermore, I do think that this certificate can give you the right framework to deal with different Data Analysis problems. In the first course they give a lot of emphasis to the Ask, Prepare, Process, Analyze, Share and Action and I do think simple aspects such as this one are what make a good data analyst.
I'm not interested in becoming an analyst but I'm interested in knowing to ask the right question. I want to become data engineer and machine learning engineer but I think some of these skills will be helpful to me.
It sounds silly but your tip about studying in the morning before work has been like a lightbulb going on for me. I always attempt to learn after work but I get tired and distracted... before work is the trick! Thank you!
@@TinaHuang1 That’s so true! That makes me feel a lot better it wasn’t just me. 😁 I only just discovered you recently but I’m really enjoying and being inspired by your content by the way!
Hi Tina! Ex-educator and bus driver attempting to "switch gears hard" (yes, I did do that) and hopefully carve out a new career path (Uh oh, I don't think I can stop the puns!) using Data Analysis. Loving your approach and the realistic way you're describing the essentials - subscribed immediately and reached out on LinkedIn!
Thanks for your review Tina. It's been nearly 3 months, and I'm on course 6 right now. There were lots of videos, reading materials, hands-on activities, quizzes, and challenges to complete, but they're essential parts of the process to master what we learn. My way of taking note and stay focus, are quite similar to your guide, that is setting up a framework of the content I'll learn in each week for each course, and just write down the key concepts or things to keep in mind for each lesson. I really appreciate the fact that I've scheduled my learning block for this Google track before, because the schedule is what keeping me motivated and concentrated on my study. It basically helps me manage my time better and track my progress in the program as well. Anyway, thanks again for your review, and please keep up your good work!
I’m currently sitting this course, I have yet to finish Week 4 and Week 5. I’m enjoying it so far. I am learning and I will proceed to do the IT course afterwards
Excellent review Tina. I'll start the course today. I have already got a good understanding of SQL, Python and Tableau, hope I can go through this course reasonably quick and switch to a new career in Data Analytics. Cheers, Judy from Melbourne, Home to Australian Open Tennis
I have a similar background as you, just with less experience in Tableau and more experience in general software development (C#/.Net, Ruby, etc.). How was your experience with this course?
just discovered your channel im a 3year CS student and I wish I I would've found you earlier! love your content I learn so much from you keep on coding and making videos
i've found that my skill with respect to data analytics depends on how much i care about the mechanism/project, if it's not interesting to me, i don't prepare enough probing questions
Nice. I just completed this course and it was really good. Anyone can do it, if you dedicate a couple of hours of work per day. It really starts from the very beginning.
You are so freaking awesome. You nailed on the accountability issue. These days it is so hard to concentrate and learn surrounded by absolute chaos and social media drowning. The tips are well thought. Liked the abrupt loughs. Thanks!
In my view , certificates will only give you just an overview. In Production everything is messed - no data is clean, hunting for data is real challenge, skills are one thing which people will Anyway gain with time but business understanding is the key and what ur analysis bring and how it impacts decision making. Think from the perspective of business , define KPIs that can help business .. rest will come naturally. Just knowing python , SQL , R won't work .. extensive practice in programming languages can make you better in it but what about business understanding ? That's the key to become succesful data analyst or data scientist.
@@mariahatzigeorgiadou706 I haven't done any course so can't comment. Assuming that you have good understanding of marketing domain .. you can start looking for how data science helps in marketing domain. If you have zero coding expertise then maybe you need to start learning that along with some basic statistics. And get in touch with data science professionals in marketing domain.
That's not quite accurate, the certificate is really beneficial for entry-level jobs as google said, understanding the business is more towards mid-level jobs
@@amirjayousi149 that's what I'm saying .. it will just give you overview. Meaning it's good for beginners . Later when you have decent work experience... it doesn't matter if you mention this certificate in CV or not. I mean that's my personal opinion. I personally had done certifications.. initially I mentioned it in my CV but once I had 2 years of experience I just felt like it doesn't really matter. I removed it and used that space to add more skillsets that I acquired along the way .
I’m an A math student and many professors have told me to take computer science classes and look in data analysis career. It’s actually really interesting to me but also intimidating. Thank you for this explanation on this certification. It’s really making me think I can do this
To me, math and computer science have a few different skill sets. If you like building on problems and abstractions, you can go into creating apps or games. If you like investigative math then go for cyber security. If you like statistics a lot, then go into data science/analytics. Good luck!
For me am going to take the IBM data analyst certificate and the reasons are: 1- its shorter around 140hours. 2- already taken Google's PMP so im looking to diverse my certification. 3- IBM course relay on Excel & python which is more popular than R and Google sheets Those are the main reasons why , planning to take Google's after finishing this one for sure
I just discovered you and instantly became a subscriber. You are seriously AWESOME!! Please continue to be you Tina!! ❤👌 And I highly appreciate this review. I started going through this Google Certificate course since 31March2021!!
Great content as always! I've been at the stage where I'm 90% sorted with the certs but too lazy to get to a passing mark on mock exams, but this is a great motivator!
I wish my cat is as active as yours. Mine is just sleeping in the morning and making mess at night. Haha. Anyway, thanks for the recommendations, Tina! I've done both Google and IBM certs but I still prefer the Google cert; it really nails down on WHY I need to be in analytics. Do these Certs help to land you a job? NO. While it definitely helps, potential employer will also look at your portfolio. Spend more time on the Capstone project or maybe analyse public data. You need to show that you can apply your analytics knowledge. I think the most important skill for an analyst will be story-telling. So create more stories and present it in your portfolio/blogs/linkedin/website. To everyone who are still considering, all the best! it's going to be an amazing journey! *off to create another story 'going renewables means more mining!'
I just found this channel randomly. I'm an ultra noob beginner hall of famer but the content is really informative but it doesn't lose my attention etiher. Great work. looking forward to more quality vdos
The ones on asking questions and cleaning data are exciting already. 👀 Though I’m considering this for psychological research (that’s why R is even more apt - will learn Python & review OOP & algorithms elsewhere), the applied nature of the course makes it even more useful. 🤔
I watched this video a few months ago and, I'm starting know to make my schedule and prepare myself for this new online class year. Happy new year Tins, always thankful for your videos 💗
i was so afraid and hesitate to take that course, but thank you, but you are such an inspiration for women, now I will start learning Data Analyst Course through Coursera, thank you dear please keep going, I subscribed in your channel and that is the first video that I'm seeing in your channel, I WILL BE DATA ANALYST. i will take my first step ❤🧡💚
thank you for this videos.. tina. i have watched many of your videos and they drive me to be a better person. i dont usually leave comments on videos but i just had to say thank you for all you do. you are doing great.!!!
Fantastic breakdown! Love this! Thank you so much for taking the time and also keeping it interesting! I'm going to take this course for a complete career change. I know the time management aspect of it for me will be hard since I work full time but let's go! 🙌🏾😁
Thanks for your great video Tina I just enrolled in this course. It's was so good. And I agreed with you that the hands on project may be the most valuable part of the certificate.
Wow such cool insights. I watched few videos from your channel over last year while learning python and JavaScript, and now I have interview in few weeks for Data Apprenticeship in California (that I really really want actually, even if the pay is poor to none), so I'll be visiting your channel much more to learn from the best
Dear Tina, what a pity that such an interesting and necessary video for many (I'm in a Data Analytics study wspp group), just happens to be one of the few without subtitles option !!! :( Greetings from Argentina !
Google will DEFINITELY hire people that finish this course.....who also have a Master's Degree Data Science and 5 years experience....that's the part they don't tell you. I'm sure they will hire ONE maybe TWO fresh out-the-gate developers just so they can put them in a testimonial video, as advertising for the course but that's about it. Still probably a good idea to be in the first wave of people that take the course. The smaller companies will probably hire a bunch of people.
They will probably hire a few people that are from underprivileged backgrounds. Of course if you are from a normal sort of background you'd have to compete with those top students from universities...
Your comment is why I'm hesitant about wasting 6 months studying and having it be for nothing. Supposedly this is a AWS 2.0 where you show prospective employers that you can do the job but they still won't hire you.
This is true of the IT industry as a whole. They advertise these courses in such a way that seems to say: 'with no experience, learn at your own pace, get an entry level job in this sector with this certificate right away!' In reality, very few, if any companies will employ you without at least 2 years experience in the field, no matter what they say about how many positions need to be filled. On the plus side, this is a good course that's affordable and teaches good materials. Something to add to your portfolio I suppose.
Hi . I liked your review in the certification program but I disagreed when you said it’s NOT for people who have a job and a baby. Time is scarce for most humans and just because a mother has a baby doesn’t mean she cannot do this entire certification. It just means she will take a year or longer to complete maybe . So please don’t discourage anyone who is interested but has kids or other time consuming responsibilities. You will be surprised at mothers resilience.
Hi, Mario. Will your current employer support your efforts? Maybe pay for the program or allow you to leverage your new skills with a work related project? Either way, wishing you the best👍🏾
TY Tina! I am a senior student who is lack intern experience but still looking for an intern/a job in data analytics. I think this will helps me a lot! If you could have more video like this please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@bloodysisters8252 it’s really knowledgeable,it’s slow and to the point.You can consider choosing it besides mastering some skills taught in the course to a greater extent by TH-cam tutorials etc.
Courses 2 through 5 look super practical just in general. I start as a data scientist in a few weeks (unless something goes wrong), so I already have a position lined up and don't really need a cert in analytics. However, I might take just these courses anyway because I've never been extensively trained in data cleaning, exploration or picking the right questions to ask.
About to finish data data everywhere here!! Switching from a tourism related path :) . There is a long way ahead but I feel I can come through this. Definitely going to catch up with ur comunity once I feel more confident about this course. Greetings!.
Thank you for your info, especially the last part about suggested time dedication and partnering with others. *I took the first 6 days of the Google certificate, then cancelled before the fee, doing the first 2 or 3 weeks of lessons. I was very excited about it, but discontinued because the lessons I took didn't cover any technical exercises and was unsure about paying to find out what the technical exercises would be like. I'm currently looking over the required technical skills in other places
I'm currently working through Data Camp's data scientist with R track (88 hours), I'd really like this to be my next thing before I attempt to find a job. Econ Grad school in the fall at the University of San Francisco, Data Science seems like a great skill set to have before stepping foot in a grad school program.
Notes on How to Set yourself for success: 1. Breath over depth 2. Take notes 3. Dont skip capstone project 4. Dont skip the hands on practices (implementation is everything)

This video was very helpful because I was on the fence about it and if it was relevant to getting a job. I have a degree in English and am truly looking for a comprehensive course to get into a data analytics career. I have played around with Python before, but haven't taken it seriously until now, related to the course. I do realize that this course may or may not directly result in a job right after, but I'm excited about the potential to get hired.

The ones on asking questions and cleaning data are exciting already. 👀 Though I’m considering this for psychological research (that’s why R is even more apt - will learn Python & review OOP & algorithms elsewhere), the applied nature of the course makes it even more useful. 🤔
I watched this video a few months ago and, I'm starting know to make my schedule and prepare myself for this new online class year. Happy new year Tins, always thankful for your videos 💗
That was great...I am a PM but want to get into data science and this looks like a great starting point for me. Thanks for the in depth review!
Many thanks for thorough review. Much appreciated. Also love your energetic way of explaining things.
I don't know why they couldn't do both R and Python, this cert course wouldn't be an indepth view enough on either on anyways ... just my spin
i was so afraid and hesitate to take that course, but thank you, but you are such an inspiration for women, now I will start learning Data Analyst Course through Coursera, thank you dear please keep going, I subscribed in your channel and that is the first video that I'm seeing in your channel, I WILL BE DATA ANALYST. i will take my first step ❤🧡💚
thank you for this videos.. tina. i have watched many of your videos and they drive me to be a better person. i dont usually leave comments on videos but i just had to say thank you for all you do. you are doing great.!!!
Fantastic breakdown! Love this! Thank you so much for taking the time and also keeping it interesting! I'm going to take this course for a complete career change. I know the time management aspect of it for me will be hard since I work full time but let's go! 🙌🏾😁
Thanks for your great video Tina I just enrolled in this course. It's was so good. And I agreed with you that the hands on project may be the most valuable part of the certificate.
Hi
Did you manage to get a job?
I'm trying to complete the google course and in the middle of it, I was watching your video to motivate myself!!!
💪💪
Very impressed by the review. Some great advice and made a lot of sense. Very helpful! Thanks 👍
this is THE BEST analysis of an IT certificate on the entire World Wide Web. No wonder you are a Data Analysis professional.
Wow such cool insights. I watched few videos from your channel over last year while learning python and JavaScript, and now I have interview in few weeks for Data Apprenticeship in California (that I really really want actually, even if the pay is poor to none), so I'll be visiting your channel much more to learn from the best
Dear Tina, what a pity that such an interesting and necessary video for many (I'm in a Data Analytics study wspp group), just happens to be one of the few without subtitles option !!! :(
Greetings from Argentina !
Google will DEFINITELY hire people that finish this course.....who also have a Master's Degree Data Science and 5 years experience....that's the part they don't tell you. I'm sure they will hire ONE maybe TWO fresh out-the-gate developers just so they can put them in a testimonial video, as advertising for the course but that's about it. Still probably a good idea to be in the first wave of people that take the course. The smaller companies will probably hire a bunch of people.
They will probably hire a few people that are from underprivileged backgrounds. Of course if you are from a normal sort of background you'd have to compete with those top students from universities...
Your comment is why I'm hesitant about wasting 6 months studying and having it be for nothing. Supposedly this is a AWS 2.0 where you show prospective employers that you can do the job but they still won't hire you.
That's actually a valid comment. On my part though, I kinda feel like I want to do it because I want to learn something new.
Exactly!!!
This is true of the IT industry as a whole. They advertise these courses in such a way that seems to say: 'with no experience, learn at your own pace, get an entry level job in this sector with this certificate right away!' In reality, very few, if any companies will employ you without at least 2 years experience in the field, no matter what they say about how many positions need to be filled.
On the plus side, this is a good course that's affordable and teaches good materials. Something to add to your portfolio I suppose.
Very good analysis of the certificate. I am glad your video came up in my feed Tina!
Congrats on 30k Tina ! The live was great
Thanks so much :)
Hi . I liked your review in the certification program but I disagreed when you said it’s NOT for people who have a job and a baby. Time is scarce for most humans and just because a mother has a baby doesn’t mean she cannot do this entire certification. It just means she will take a year or longer to complete maybe . So please don’t discourage anyone who is interested but has kids or other time consuming responsibilities. You will be surprised at mothers resilience.
Considering taking this course, thank you for this review Tina!
Hi, Mario. Will your current employer support your efforts? Maybe pay for the program or allow you to leverage your new skills with a work related project? Either way, wishing you the best👍🏾
TY Tina! I am a senior student who is lack intern experience but still looking for an intern/a job in data analytics. I think this will helps me a lot! If you could have more video like this please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your explanation of the Google certificate was on point!!
I love this Tina, thank you for sharing this, extremely helpful
I rarely comment but thank you so much for mentioning that the tools are not the most important parts, but the skillset
I am already at the 6th course of this program already ! and listening to you review this is really motivating :)
Can you give me the review on how it is so far
@@bloodysisters8252 it’s really knowledgeable,it’s slow and to the point.You can consider choosing it besides mastering some skills taught in the course to a greater extent by TH-cam tutorials etc.
Did you finish? How long did it take you overall?
Do you find a job as a data analyst with the certificate?
This is a great video. I really like how you break everything down.
Thanks for all the info. Loved the kitty interruptions. 😸
🐈⬛
I'm actually starting this course today and definitely interested in the discord channel for encouragement and accountability. 👏👏👏
Courses 2 through 5 look super practical just in general. I start as a data scientist in a few weeks (unless something goes wrong), so I already have a position lined up and don't really need a cert in analytics. However, I might take just these courses anyway because I've never been extensively trained in data cleaning, exploration or picking the right questions to ask.
Thank you Tina for the info and recommendation, it was very helpful.
It's sooo useful I smashed the like button twice
Data Analyst and Data Scientist perform different task. Yes, they both use the same tools but the objectives differ.
Tina I really appreciate this video!
Thank you very much!
Glad I watched the vid you answered my questions about the program..Im going to get the cert...thank you!
And Tina cute also...makes for easy video watching 😘
Wow! Breadth over depth. Critical thinking. & Accountability. You're right, its so hard to self study.
this is the most insightful video on the matter thank you.
Thanks for the detailed review! Love your cat too
Thank you so much, Tina! I am trying to dip my toes into this! It is good that you explained that we need be able to ask the right questions
You might as well have let our cat finish the video from you since it wants video time!🤣🤣
ok , you made this sound alot more interesting to do . love the video
This video is amazing thank you, super informative and have given me a insight into the certificate /course :) again thanks 🙏 💕
Thank you so much for all of this wonderful information!!
About to finish data data everywhere here!! Switching from a tourism related path :) . There is a long way ahead but I feel I can come through this. Definitely going to catch up with ur comunity once I feel more confident about this course. Greetings!.
I love how you weren't swayed by beep beep lingering on your table and asking for your attention 😂
Been doing the IT Support Specialist Program. Im about 2/5 done. So far i like it and can't wait to see what happens once I finish.
Came for the content, stayed for the cat :)
🐈🐱
i want to put more than one like for this video 🥺🥺 thank you sooooo much for this video 💕💕
Thank you for your info, especially the last part about suggested time dedication and partnering with others. *I took the first 6 days of the Google certificate, then cancelled before the fee, doing the first 2 or 3 weeks of lessons. I was very excited about it, but discontinued because the lessons I took didn't cover any technical exercises and was unsure about paying to find out what the technical exercises would be like. I'm currently looking over the required technical skills in other places
I'm currently working through Data Camp's data scientist with R track (88 hours), I'd really like this to be my next thing before I attempt to find a job. Econ Grad school in the fall at the University of San Francisco, Data Science seems like a great skill set to have before stepping foot in a grad school program.
Notes on How to Set yourself for success:
1. Breath over depth
2. Take notes
3. Dont skip capstone project
4. Dont skip the hands on practices (implementation is everything)
Thanks for the review. Just enrolled for this with zero R knowledge. Let's go!!!!
you are so relatable. thanks so much for sharing.
Excellent overview and insight.
Anime always wins! I know this too well lol and you have black kitty. Twins. I’m loving the content. I’ve been in and out of tech learning for years. I’m hoing ‘22 is the year to finish. Love this channel; new subbie.
This video was very helpful because I was on the fence about it and if it was relevant to getting a job. I have a degree in English and am truly looking for a comprehensive course to get into a data analytics career. I have played around with Python before, but haven't taken it seriously until now, related to the course. I do realize that this course may or may not directly result in a job right after, but I'm excited about the potential to get hired.
Did you go through with it?
Thanks for the review Tina, personally on first looks over it's cool se worth of Google Data Analytics Course. Thank you gain for brief Overview
Thank you Tina, I completed a bootcamp and I want to enroll in Google Data Analytics course.
Thanks so much for making this VDO.
Really insightful...Thank you Tina......
This girl is amazing!!!
Good, very good indeed I 'Thank GOD' and I thank you for this information 😉
I subscribed the moment she said "I could be watching anime"
Thanks for this video. I just signed up, and also the IBM one too.
Are you done?
@@joanphillip3977 Do you know, I didn't start.
I feel that I have to do the couse now as it has been on my mind a while, I believe with your message Joan of Arc, that you are an angel sending me a message through the network.
I am still thinking of doing this, and at this moment, I am preparing for my masters in Psychology in Mindfulness in September (2022), and this course does not really focus on the statistics side of psychology, as it's a practice.
Thanks
Tina you are knowledgeable AF
This is a gr8 video!! bless u
8:30 Your cat is so sticky and hilarious. 😄
Hi, I’m currently going through the course now and I’m learning a lot. I understand that this is a good foundation and introduction into Data Analytics. Can anyone recommend what I should do afterwards once I finish this? Just trying to map a journey for myself.
Very informative.. thumbs up!
Thanks for d info...🙏 I felt it at 25:40 😄 I'm grateful...🤗
Just got a full ride financial aid for the program :) Excited to start! I'm gonna continue learning Python before I get started in July.
How??
@@noman3602 they have a financial aid option and you fill it out like a scholarship :)
Hi madison, I got the financial aid for all 8 courses but im a little confused the assignment deadlines for some courses are the same. Is there a problem if i dont finish the assignments on time?
