    I completed the first course within a month and a week alongside my MSc. Data Science Dissertation. The course bridged the gap between concepts and industry practices and has shaped the direction of my dissertation which is on machine learning. Although this advanced course is on concepts my MSc. has exposed me to, I'll take it to broaden my horizon. As a person from a non-tech background (My MSc Data Science is a conversion in the UK ), the first course did the magic of expanding my understanding in the domain and I believe this advanced one will do more.

So, this course covers you to more senior level responsibilities for DA.

    As a non-native English speaker, I took the beginners course (kind of struggling with the language at the very beginning). It took almost a year (11 months so far, I'm in the 8th course), with a couple of times where I had to work extra time, and maybe in total for 2/3 months I didn't spend any time in the course. I love the approach because I was a very rookie person. Now I'm more comfortable although I didn't land a data job yet I'm confident that in the next 2/3 months, I'll get one. Of course, I'll take the advanced Google certification, I love their approach and teaching techniques.

    I have completed a long list of ds moocs on different platforms and I found two things:
    1,a certificate, no matter what its name is, which uni/company it is from, is a completely different thing than a degree; in most cases it gives width instead of depth, and width alone can not let you have an entry level job ( there is a huge gap between completion of a cert and job ready skills);
    2, ds path is already over crowded, a junior or entry level job, as long as it has 'analyst' in its name, will attract a lot more applications than other ones, if all you have is a cert or a dozen of certs then there is very little chance that you can stand out.
    I sincerely suggest that unless you have a genuine love for data, otherwise it is better you choose another path to start your career, it will be a lot easier.

      Somebody with his experience and knowledge in the data science space knows very well that's its light years away from being equivalent to a dagree. The lack of criticism / real honest review of the first course contents says a lot.

      Hi, we are classmates! :D im on course #2. Personally I think we need to be very comfortable with the job scope of the 1st course, hone the skills and put them into practice (i.e. find a job as junior data analyst). When we get the hang of it, then it's time to take it to another level by studying the advanced course, which will earn us the senior data analyst title.

      Interesting question - I would say this is a good Python course. I don't know if I would change the Python for Everybody course. That's a fundamental course for Python, but goes really in depth. This course is much more Analytics focused so it's quite different and narrow. This would come after the Python for Everybody course.

    As someone who is just now halfway through the original Data Analytics certificate course, I can't help feel a little sour. The first one was touted as a "learn-at-your-pace" course that would have you prepared to enter a job by the end of it. So now there's an "advanced" version; does that mean I'm going to have to pay for and work through another 3-4 months of classes to get a job anywhere because I only took the "basic" one? Is the original course I'm taking suddenly outdated and a waste of time?

I would love to hear Alex’s take on this.
