Thanks for watching! You can get Google Data Analytics Certificate here 👉🏼 imp.i384100.net/GoogleDataCert
Courses from Maven Analytics taught me more skills than the Google Data Analytics Certificate.
have u ever used your mic brush for a makeup hahaha
Definitely see what the in-demand #s are now since AI launched to the public last year.
Please I need help I got completed the payment for data analytics course . When started learning please reply this answer
Thanks so much for your kind words, Sundas! We really appreciate the shout-out.
Thank you! I’m glad you like the review :)
Hey Google, have you seen the advanced very video? th-cam.com/video/jSO0L4P8E28/w-d-xo.html feel free to include it in your playlist.
Currently taking the course and just loving it!!
Thanks Google & Coursera for the great job done..
Can we with google Data analytics certificate work?
Dam. You got Google itself liking you? Ok you're a boss. I'm listening 👍
As someone who is literally on the last course of this certificate right now, I can definitely agree with a lot of points made in this video about the course. Here is to hoping it all works out for me in the finding-the-job phase as well. Good luck to my fellow learners!
thanks for sharing! I am sure anyone reading this would find it helpful. Cheers!
Hi hamza, i am thinking to take this course but confused, because i want to get a good job, if this is a right choice
have you landed a job you desire?
Did it help?
Did you get a job? Good luck! YOU got this.
I'm an experienced Scrum Master and I wanted to augment my skills with data analytics to add value to the team and perhaps get better understanding of what Product Owners do in understanding the customer.
I'm now completing the Viz certificate and I'm loving it. Looking forward to learning R
I am currently in the Google Data Analytics Certificate course right now. I had recently almost completed the IBM Data Science Certificate, I finished 9 out of 10, and then I realized Data Analytics would be a better place to start. So far its really great. It can be repetitive sometimes but very worth the low cost (as compared to other methods). I agree with Sundas, she is spot on, and I will be following her advise and knowledge for the foreseeable future in my quest to be a Data Analyst/Scientist. Thanks!
I am on the second module in the course right now. I actually really love it! I am a bit nervous as I am older and will be entering in the field at a disadvantage to younger candidates. But I also know I have a great personality and learn quickly, I'm good under pressure and have tons of retail, customer service and other knowledge in many other areas of business. Great video! Was very informative and helpful. Ty 😊
I'm up to the capstone project portion of the course. The video is very accurate, the certificate gives you a high level view of everything. I've been taking additional courses on SQL and Tableau to get a deeper understanding of them
Thanks for sharing!
I am sorry for you for being taking it… R or Python are not useful for starters. I also just finish a capstone as well, not much experience with data, but, yes, I only learned Python, R, SAS, but didn’t learn SQL or Power BI. Those are the only important things. Let’s run to get it. Don’t take Tableau if you have windows system. I would only recommend Tableau over Power BI if you cannot use Power BI in your system.
Where did you take your additional courses? For Python and etc.
@@emoneytauriacCoursera
Hi @scottTX79 , do you recommend this over a bootcamp at a University ? I know they are more expensive and will possibly cover the same things with the difference that they are probably not self-paced like Coursera is? Please advise since I am currently trying to see which route to go and I need real advice. Thanks in advance !!
I have a PhD in Physics and quite used to analyzing data in my research involving solar energy utilization. I started with this course 3 weeks ago and now on the third course in the certification. I am enjoying it, though I am familiar with the nitty gritty. I am taking this certification as I desire to change career from the academia into industry: energy analytics. This of course is with hopes of earning more and being more flexible as I see that there are opportunities of remote work with data analytics. I look forward to learning new tools like SQL, Tableau, R, etc. Also to be familiar with the language/terms that recruiters want to hear at interviews. I’m just tired of trying to force students to learn with university teaching and the low salaries.
How did you enjoy it? I only have my BA in physics and found that the stuff was so mind numbingly boring and the quizzes were more a question of whether you could repeat verbatim from the glossary than have any understanding. I don't think I've learned anything new about analysing data and even the tool utilisation components are incredibly basic.
Very clear explanation - all major questions are cleared, awesome video thanks. 👍
Hi Sundas! Your videos are really helpful. Here is the video suggestion for you! why don't you make a video briefing about different areas in the machine learning? I am finding difficulty in choosing a domain in ML. I am unsure about which areas to go for whether its nlp, computer vision, deep learning, reinforcement learning etc. Please explain what its like to work in a certain domain. Thanks in advance!!❤❤
Thanks. I just started this course the other day. Im in the camp of people who should be taking it. Appreciate the inputs and encouragement this is the right first step. I have no degree, but have 6.5 years in banking, 3 years of that as a Financial Crime Analyst, so I think that experience should help open doors.
i think experience helps a lot!! i have a degree in Business informatics but it is kind hard to find a nice job for myself. May i ask how is course going? I just started my MSc in data science but i think it would be nice to start this course i think it would be interesting. How you like the course so far?
How does one become a Financial Crime Analyst without a degree if you don't mind me asking
@@GtZkInGz01 I worked in banking and did education in finance
@@86Disab any advice on starting out in the banking industry ?
@@GtZkInGz01 I started as a teller on the mobile support team which meant I traveled to several branches to support sick/vacation days. Then got hired at a branch as a teller at a branch that I liked and was close to home. Then got a position out of head office at their call center to get lots of experience quickly. Meanwhile I was working on education to become a financial planner. Never had positions as a financial advisor open up for 2 years, kept getting empty promises from the hiring manager. After doing the cross training program, had 6 months go by without any further communication about moving to the role. After a couple weeks shadowing the job, it wasn't really what I had in mind for becoming a financial planner. Spoke to my direct manager. We were working as an org at migrating our online banking to a new platform and app. During this I was brought on to lead a team to help members migrate to the new system. Through that experience I got to rub shoulders with members of the corporate security team and come up with authentication process and then create a flowchart for the new staff to authenticate people over the phone quickly etc.. essentially I solved a lot of problems for the organization in my time during the migration process which got me recommendations from the call centre director and management. My wife had also worked on various projects on banking conversion, so they knew my wife's track record, also my sister in law worked as an executive assistant to the marketing executive. My wife was also an executive assistant for the CEO while he was the CRO. So.. I did have extra help in getting recognized by people that mattered in the hiring process, but it was 3.5 years of hard work to get there... nothing was guaranteed etc.. I left the job in 2022. Currently enjoying being a stay at home dad. Happy for my experience in group risk management, wouldn't want to stay there long term. Lots of jaded individuals, management were all functioning alcoholics. Very woke industry at this point. Prioritizing gender/sexual orientation over quality/quantity of work. Spent 7 years there, almost unrecognizable now from the company I started working for.
I completed the Google Data Analytics program and received the certificate for it in July 2023. I am finding that it didn’t fully prepare me for even an entry level job like they said. It gives a VERY rudimentary overview of Data Analytics throughout the program. I have discovered that I have to do more reading and research on my own to persist on getting a job in Data Analytics. If you take this program, do not expect to get out job ready like Google preaches.
I have a B.B.A. in Corporate Finance, worked at a bank for 6 years after college in high-level operations, then decided I wanted a career change at 28. I took the Google Data Analytics course and the Business Analytics Specialization course for Wharton Business School Online. I am now a senior marketing analyst for a large corporation and make $42k more a year than what I was making in banking, and I am remote. The two certificates I aquired landed me a 6-figure, remote analyst job. Having my BBA in Finance and 6 years of operational and project managment experience obviously helped as well. But from the moment I decided to pursue data analytics, I passed the two courses and landed my new job within 1 year. No masters degree.
@@Theultrazombiekiller omg that's really increidible your background and when you were looking for work, did you receive a lot of demand thanks to this certification? thank u and congratulation
Yes, this is true.
@@Theultrazombiekiller Same story, business degree with finance, with 3+ years of work experience, and completed the course two months ago in hopes of a career change, remote work and higher salary. If you have any advice on what finally helped land you a job, please share, as I haven't been able to even get an interview yet.
@@Theultrazombiekillerhey can you share your linkedin id i have some questions that i need your help with
Thanks for this video I am on course two and I think it is a great course!
I am a junior financial analyst for about 4 months and before I worked as an accounting for about one and a half years. Now I am on the 3rd course and I think it's worth for me to get a background as well as high level view of everything.
No matter how many certifications you have only matters is skills which you gain from it and interview performance.
Thank you Sundas . This was a helpful video.👍👍
Thank you for doing this video, it was very insight! ❤
I have been looking at this course since I am an analyst just starting out and my local university bootcamp is sooo expensive. Definitely gonna give this a shot.
thanks. As a practicing data scientist who uses R and Tableau a lot for work I think I will pass on the course for now.
An excellent video for me. Thank you Sundas 🙂
Very useful, thanks Sundas!
thanks very much for making this video, love your insights. I noticed there is an advanced Google Data Analysis certification and an industry-specific one after the advanced. Could you comment on those? Since this one is just an introduction, it seems to make sense. But I also hear people say "doing projects beat getting certifications".
I’m starting this course soon, I’m absolutely excited to finally learn R. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do.
super helpful video! thank you
@SundasKhalid, I really enjoy your channel! Thank you for the content!
I was wondering as an entrepreneur/free lance individual. Do you pay for subscriptions for SQL and Tableau, etc.. on your own/ like out of your own pocket?? Or can you get your employers to pay for these subscriptions? Just curious how you support some of these as they are kinda pricey if you pay for the highest subscription packages?
Just recently watching Sundas' video on How to Manage Imposter Syndrome on Coursera has highly motivated me to overcome my own difficulties as an immigrant. Thank you for inspiring me!
I’m so glad you like the video ❤️
I started the certificate a year ago thinking it would be a good fit. I never finished it but wanted it to go back. The video work is daunting. I looked forward more to the assignments than the long videos I had to speed up to listen to them.
It is a great certificate, I will go back to it but I also suggest attending courses solely focused on skills need in the field. Like Python, Excel, SQL, and Visualization software. You can knock out the certificate out in 3 months truly.
Great review!
Thank you, Lucy!
So helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for the great info that's really helpful
I am someone who is currently halfway through there Associates in Computer Information Systems. I am taking the certificate program to specialize in data analytics and understand more about sql and tablue. I am fairly proficent in python and was just curious how an employer might view my credentials when I eventually apply for a job? Is an associates supplemented with this course enough skillset knowledge to land a entry level Data Analyst job or should I just stick to web design/ help desk? It would mean a lot to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you for the commentary.
I’m assuming the Google algorithm landed me here..I just got to your video in the tableau course! Thanks for sharing your opinion as I try to journey through this career
Just started the free trial last night. I don't know if the certificate will help me find a job, but I have absolutely no experience or knowledge 😅. For me, it seems worth it (it's $49 as of 5.09.2023).
Since I'm the type to deep dive into everything lol, I didn't expect to get everything I need from just the course, so I've definitely already started looking into other resources. Such as learning Python is preferred and suggested by many to learn
this was the one im searching for .. thanks for this update akka
great timing of the video then. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing this valuable information.
Great info, thank you 🙏
Taking this course as well. Right now Im thinking I need to learn Power BI and Tableau probably get a cert from Microsoft and Tableau as well for these things. It appears the certificate is a good starting point. Cheers and good luck to everyone.
any update
thanks sundas,I'm currently being the part of coursera program and this video will guide me for my upcoming👍
That's awesome. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this. Can you please recommend CERTIFICATION COURSES available for advanced data analytics.
Hey folks, I just started this course because I'd like to integrate data analyst skills in my current job position, that is Operations Manager in Customer Support. Of course, I'm already confident with excel. I'd love you to share some ideas here, maybe if you already experienced something similar. Thanks to all, and good luck!
Thanks for making this video.
This was very helpful. It let me know how far I actually have left to go
I really like all your video. They have valuable content with research. Thank you so very much.
I am glad you find the content valuable. I appreciate the note :)
Is there a place where we could have our portfolio peer reviewed? I am currently finishing the capstone project for the certification and this seems accurate.
Thanks For All Info
I’m doing the IBM Data Analytics course. it has Python instead of R and that is the reason I chose it instead of the Google course. Will this course be looked at like the Google course when it comes to jobs or am I wasting my time?!
Excellent guidelines. I finished it last week. It was Structure way of learning.
Amazing Congrats on completing it 👏
I have a university degree in statistics and insurance and when i finish my army duty i ll start a masters in data science (very good college in greece) , is this certificate a good start? should i do this now in my army duty to be prepared for my msc?
I know it’s a bit smaller than Data Analytics but could you make a video like this with the IT support Google certificate, please?
I'm looking for a career change and I do not have an Associates or Bachelor degree in IT. I am very interested in a Data Analyst. Do have I have to have an degree 1st or can I build my portfolio with certificates? Thank you for this video. It was very helpful
Very well said,,
This is a bit off topic but I would very much appreciate you giving your experience based opinion on ways to future proof against the effects that AI such as GPT and Copilot are expected to have on data science jobs. I think your experience in the role could help us all a lot on what GPT and Copilot may and may not be good at doing.
Eveything will be affected by Ai
Artists are already Fked ...
I am half way thru the course and at 48 & semi retired, i wanted to see if it is a field worth pursuing. I am a marketing grad with no technical background at all and so far, I am loving it. I enjoy the hands-on assignment for SQL and google sheet and would usually watch other tutorials on youtube to further increase my understanding. Plus, it's affordable and if I wish to enhance my DA skills, there are many options out there.
You had no technical skills prior to this course and are able to follow the materials? I was worried about taking this on because of lack of technical skills.
@@willowbe4747 It isn't very tough to be honest but you need to be inquisitive especially in SQL and Tableau. As always, practice makes perfect... I am a long way fr there but I will take it one step at a time
@@christopherk7920 thank you, this was so helpful. You have yourself a great day!
@@willowbe4747 good luck 🤞🏻
HI ! Did you finish the course? have you landed in a job that you desired? I am just starting this course and was wondering if it was worth it? So far is just basic information and definitions, and since it's self pace I was wondering if you really learn to work with Python , SQL, R Programming and Tableau at some point of the course? Please advise, thank you !
I met Sudas on the 6th or 7th course of the certification, finished whole thing two days ago. I learned a bunch of new things even though I knew most of the things. I did not know R or Tableau and God knows I'll be using them a lot from now on!
Hi Sudas, how are you? Which course do you think that is good to take after Google Data Analytics Certificate? Thanks for you content, it is very helpful! Greetings from Brazil ☺
I kinda get both sides of the debate about SQL as a jack of all trades:
I tend to treat SQL as a language I’ll use to get data from a DB when I don’t feel like _writing proper application code_ and I can express what I need in SQL. But I also feel it as something ephemeral. I’m writing queries that I will most likely throw away most likely and which will not become part of a codebase. The query is a means to an end.
On the other hand, to non tech people, SQL feels daunting. Like some of the hardest things they’ll ever use and when they find a useful query that works they’ll hang onto it and curate those queries.
But yeah, writing optimized queries is an art and a science. 😅
"R" is really making a sort of a little comeback, with the newer powerful packages such as "Quarto" being developed out of the R-ecosystem.
Excellent overview
Currently I'm on the fourth course of this certification and i totally agree with you on this, this certification will gives you a vast knowledge of the thing's that we're going to do as a data analyst, but you won't be able to get a job on this only that's why i aslo have taken course in udemy to enhance my skills that are must and i believe after completing all these courses and certification and doing projects, I'll be job ready and hopefully get a job.
Did you get a job?

I just finished the Google DA course. I am changing careers from teacher to data analyst. This video came out just after I started the course. Your honest evaluation gave me such confidence to continue and know I wasn't wasting my time/efforts. Your evaluation is spot on - this course is perfect for someone unfamiliar with DA. Thank you!
hi i am in same scenario like you i planning to switch to DA. can you please tell me the roadmap for DA job? where you learned DA courses
I am doing the exact same thing. My question is, is it worth it? Is leaving teaching worth it? I am at a good school, with good students. But the downside is, I am not making nearly enough money.
I am in the same situation. I'd love to know how it's going for you and your opinions of it.
Please talk about the IBM Data Science course too. I have just begun it
i just enrolled but was wondering do they help you build your profolio during the course?
How does the IBM certification compare? I noticed they have Python in the description.

is it worth it learning python and the full road map or just learning a basic set and do some projects with ai ?
I finished it, it was worth the underlying understanding of what goes into the job. That said, I think job pursuers still need to pack their portfolios with other projects.
How do you build a portfolio without actually working a job.

I think the problem is that Google cert is advertised and labeled as a way to get into the IT business but they dont tell you is that many entry level wont require or even bother with it. It all matters about your portfolio and your presentation. I did the course during the 7 day trial and felt like it wasnt worth the money esp if your tight on money the best ive found was the Odin Project.

I have worked as a data entry operator in various jobs in Saudi Arabia for 12 years. Should I take a course in data analytics? Why did some suggest taking additional classes on sites like DataCamp, Microsoft Azure, or CompTIA? Does it imply that you still need to pass exams on those platforms? Is this course insufficient to meet the job requirements you are applying for?..🤔
Someone please I have a 2 year associates degree and I have this certificate. I consider myself entry level should I go back to school to finish my bachelor’s degree or should I just continue to try to find entry level work as a data analyst? My student loans are already paid off and I need to know if it will make a difference with recruiters?
Thanks for the Info, I would like to understand, which knowledge I should have, before I'll start this course. I see that I must program. It is R language
I'm a bit lost but so the course is 40$/m, are there any additional fees for getting the actual cert?
How would you suggest a beginner to start dara analysis from?
Hi. Can you tell us about Data Science bootcamps? Like ups and downs of joining them and what are some good bootcamps?
not all bootcamps are equal, so I would suggest doing your research before commuting to one. Look into where the bootcamps graduates end up in the first 6 months to 1 year. That would give you an idea.
going to school to become a “business analyst” & also planning on doing this course for extra knowledge & credibility .. honest answer what’s the likeliness of getting a job ? is it worth it ?
For someone who has experience in Excel and SPSS with foundational knowledge of R and SQL, would the Google ADVANCED Data Analytics certificate be worth the time?
I think alot has to do with how you present it. I would look into this and maybe Comptia Data+. As long as you are competent in R and SQL (perhaps learning Python as well) - you are doing well for yourself. Spend money on a place that makes a great resume. Send your resume out and see how it works. There are many ways to get a job in DA, but how about chatting with someone who works in it? Knowledge can never be taken away from you. Money you can lose but knowledge stays so if this helps you it isn't a waste.
Question for Data Science community; once I land my very first job in Data Analytics coming from the course mentioned in this vid, how long should a wait to study in becoming a Data Scientist… a year, two years as I ramp-up knowledge and hands-on experience.
What would be your advice?
Thank you all in advance!!
I would recommend studying as soon as you can. Some aspects of both subjects overlap, Data Science is just a more high level variation of DAnalyst. That's my opinion anyways, good luck!
@@lees5097 - Thank You so much for your advice.
Plz suggest some advance courses for those who already worked 1-2 yr in this field
A short answer will be it's only a shot🎉, an amazing glimpse about data analytics
Ma'am, there are various data analytics undergraduate courses of 3 years and 4 years.. as a beginner should I trust those courses or start with something basic like Google data analytics program? Is an undergraduate degree helpful in this experience-oriented field?
I'm most likely going to go down this road of learning off the Google certificate only, I'm gonna look to see if I can find a job just off the certificate and some projects I'll try to work on, I'll come back in a few months to see if maybe tacking on a co-op position might be needed
I appreciate the insight of your opinions here. Im currently taking the class and have been but i feel like that course isnt as organized for new incomers like me. Ive written over 40 pages of notes and still am on week 1 but its been super repetitive and i feel like its still "selling" me on the idea of entering the field and wasting time telling me about other data cycles that literally says i wont have to learn it yet but here is a 20 minute reading on it anyway .... I also want to know that if i do all this studying and work towards this that its not for nothing and something will come of it.
I am currently taking the course as well. I completed the entire first course (Foundations) in 2 days. All of those notes are not needed unless you are not a quick learner, I only have 4 pages of notes and I am someone who loves to write things down. I love a good note lol
@@IkaneishaJenkins Weird because there is def more than 4 pages of notes in that entire course and you mustve skipped a lot of the work because you CANNOT finish that one class in only 2 days. I am a quick learner and am feeling like i haven't learned anything i didn't already know here. Thanks for your insight, were all different in terms of learning i guess.
@naomitorres3266 I definitely did. That first part is nothing but introduction and extremely short "quizzes." I skipped nothing. Watched every single video and completed every single task. I got the certificate for completion and moved on to the 2nd part which is the ASK step. If you are familiar with this AT ALL there isn't much to take notes on. Like you mentioned, it is very repetitive. You will be fine.
@@IkaneishaJenkins Thats the thing im entirely new to this field. But always have been great with tech and computers so its why im here. Ill keep going with it i just want to make sure Im not wasting my time and it is entirely worth it. Thank you again for your insights!
@@naomitorres3266 You're welcome. Don't stress so much. I promise you'll be fine especially since you're good with tech.
What would you say to someone that has no college degree? Would this course be a good way to get into data analytics?
Short answer: these certificates are good for basic skills.
Don’t start these courses assuming that you will advance your data skills. You gotta learn the sh*t at work
Pls ma'am you made mention of the google data analytics course duration being 6months.
Is that to say that if you exceed the 6months, you wont be certified at completion

Hi Sundas! I have been enjoying your videos. I am 48 and having to find a new career path. I am interested in Data Analytics. Do I need to learn SQL prior to starting the Google Datata Analytics certificate classes? What should be my first steps to be successful? Thank you!
Hello. While I am a student myself and have taken most of the foundational courses, I can tell you that you do not need to know any SQL before getting into the course, and the amount of knowledge you need will be provided to you by the course itself.
This is a great starter course. But remember, you need to learn Python after this.
I think there is a newer one. Advanced Data analytics by Google. This one covers Python
SQL*

Hi all, I just started the course, and I'm paying the monthly subscription to Coursera, but I still don't fully understand if I have to pay anything extra during the course or after I finish. Do I have to pay for the test or for the certificate after completing the course? Please, if anyone knows, share the information with me because I struggle financially, and if there are any extra fees, I won't be able to afford them.
hey did you get the answer?
