One of the better videos on this topic i have found. Keep the relatable factor and you will keep growing at a snowballing rate! Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the kind words and I love the enthusiasm! Keep it up and hopefully you find more value from this channel.
Very Crisp, quick and honest review. Thanks for the efforts.
Thanks for the kind words Vijay! Hope you enjoyed.
Thank you, that is what I thought and had a great confirmation from you :). Nice review
I appreciate the kind words, hopefully you gained some value!
Thank you so much for the info!
I agree with what's mentioned here
and thank you for not having to speed up the video 😂
Thanks bud, I appreciate the feedback!
You can do this cert for absolutely free through The American Dream Academy program that closes its enrollment in July. It's meant for only U.S. residents. Can't believe this isn't talked about enough. It's 100% free from this method. I'm on course 4 right now.
Thank you for that information. All the best completing the course!
@@raneshguruparan I completed it. To everyone interested in the program, it's closing in April fully, so enroll if you can and want the certs they offer for free.
Thank you. It says i need to verify my email address before i can join there group. But they never sent me an email to verify. Am i missing something?
Awesome thank you for the info!
Congratulations Emily! Hope you found it beneficial.@@emilyau8023
Thanks for your review video. Is the online Google Data Analytics Certification all pre recorded or is it it live? Thanks
They are all pre recorded videos. I believe there are community groups for discussion if needed!
Hey Ranesh , I am a sophomore and i had a college course in data analytics where i learnt R and data cleaning methods. By this info which course do you think is best for me if i want to become a data scientist?
IBM data scientist or google advance data analytics certificate. Please answer me as i really need this info a lot
Great question bud, I think this video will help you out a lot: Google Business Intelligence VS Data Analytics Certifications // The right one for you
ruclips.net/video/NdHtx2sWOqw/видео.html
In short, I recommend you move to the Advanced Google Data Analytics course and the IBM Data Science course. If you feel comfortable with those and want to go deeper into ML, I recommend Andrew Ng’s Deep Learning Specialization
What is the correlation between web analytics and data analytics?
I already have experience with Google analytics and other cx tools, and I am considering expanding my skills in data analytics.
But I would hate to analyze, let's say, financial data.
Your thoughts about it?
Web analytics is a subset of the analytics field. To my knowledge, you don’t really go into much programming and focus on the web domain. I’ve used Google Analytics pretty intensely for a previous job and it’s a very good tool for web analytics. As a data analyst, I’ve personally messed with web data, financial data, geolocation data etc. If you want to abstain from financial data specifically you can certainly find a more niched position. With your background in CX, a Business Intelligence profession or a Web Analytics position might suite you well!
@Ranesh, what do you think of Andrew Ng's machine learning courses on coursera? Would those also be worth doing?
Hey, I’ve personally never taken it but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. In fact, I know several people who I believe are incredibly successful in the field of data science who have learned a lot from that certification.
Great video, did you take the Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate? I'm looking into this as well.
I did not unfortunately. I’ve been getting this question a lot recently and I think I might just audit it. I will get back to you with a more insightful answer
@@raneshguruparan thank you so much. I have some python knowledge but it was from self-learning.
That might be a great route too. What are your goals? Do you want to learn python specifically for automation or are you trying to learn Python for Data Science or Machine Learning?
I am almost done with the certification, I am just trying to get an online part time job with it.
Thats amazing, all the best!
Curious to know if you found something :)
Hey man. Did you found something?
Hi, if my current concentatration is software engineering, do you think this program will be valuable other than learning about SQL and more experience programming in python? I'm curious about the correlation between data analytics and software Thank you!
Hey Alanna, that’s a great question. I think this course would help you understand how data is handled and how to properly model data for future data analysts/scientists that you work with. I personally think if you are comfortable with programming and want to dive deeper into the world of data you might be interested in ML/AI. A few courses I recommend for that would be the Advanced Google Data Analytics certification, Andrew Ng & Stanfords MLOps certification. From a SWE perspective, understanding how AI/ML implementation works, building ETLs and Data pipelines definitely could be beneficial. Here are some reviews i’ve made of those courses:

ruclips.net/video/Rw5A3iC14-Q/видео.htmlsi=GkBKufTIqVs2ns6_
should i go for google advance data Analyst? since my goal is to learn data analysis for spatial analysis which i already know , i just want to implement all the gis task with py afterward i have goal for ML CV for earth observation dataset
Hey bud, I actually just made a full review on the Google Advanced Data Analyst certification if you want to check it out. I believe it answers your question! ruclips.net/video/NdHtx2sWOqw/видео.htmlsi=hGP1GGOPHean2saH
Hi there
Is there a way to apply for financial aid for the certification after completing the course. And will I have to make the application before or after taking the course?
Hey, if you weren’t aware, there is a 7 day free trial offered and many other scholarships that Coursera provides. I recommend applying for financial aid before you start the course. Here’s the link to the financial aid application support page: www.coursera.support/s/article/209819033-Apply-for-Financial-Aid-or-a-Scholarship?language=en_US
I applied for this course today for 1 month duration for around 14$ but it shows only course 1 and it has 4 modules and it has deadlines upto june 16th(end of month) but there are 7 more with more individual modules , should i complete all the 8 of them in 1 month for not paying more and still getting proffesional certificate, If So, how can I do it , complete 1 after other in one month or all of them parallely as the quiz deadlines are overlapping in the courses, please reply and Clarify this confusion..
I'm not sure that it's beneficial to rush the courses and complete it in a month if you don't have adequate time to spend on each module/section. However, if you do want to complete it all in a month, I believe the requirements to get the certifications are just to complete the quizes and labs. You could focus on completing the quizes/labs for the courses/modules that you have some familiarity with the content. There are also a lot of resources online (github/stackhoverflow/quizlet) that guide you through these courses. Again, if your goal is to maximize the learning, I strongly recommend taking your time through each course.
I submitted a request for assistance for the course 5: 'Analyze Data to Answer Questions.' Please, is it necessary to complete all 8 courses to obtain the certificate?
Hey, each individual course should have their own certification but there is an overall certification for completing the whole thing. I would use reddit and github for reference if you are stuck.
I've done my bachelors in statistics (3 year). Need to do know whether only the advanced analytics course will help me to escalate my opportunities.
That depends on what you actually learned from that bachelors. If you have an understanding of programming, how to navigate datasets, the basic questions to ask and how to answer them when you’re solving business problems, fundamental statistics (p-value, hypothesis testing, etc) then yes I would say jump to the advanced course as that teaches you Machine Learning
I am not from the USA. When is a good time to apply for jobs? I have just started the first course... I thought completion of this course+ a python course would help me land a job that I desperately need.☹
P.S. I have completed my BSC in ME.
Here's a video that might answer some of your questions: ruclips.net/video/xVoUjx2pC4M/видео.html. Generally, the best time to apply for jobs is right now! The more consistently you apply, the better your chances.
How long did it take for you to actually receive your cert? I took the course on Coursera and passed everything.
Right after, you should get it on your profile and there will be resources to guide you to link it on your LinkedIn profile etc..
Yes, it is very entry level and only really utilizes high school level math.
@@raneshguruparan where can i get the certificate of completion not the badge i have completed all the course materials?
@@harshwardhan8771 There should be two parts, the badge and the certification. Both should be accessible from your profile. I think there should also be a Credly link that you can put on your LinkedIn profile to verify you achieved the certification.
@@raneshguruparanSir pls tell me what tools and programming languages I must learn to become a data analyst (I have no coding knowledge)
will this cert help me if i am looking for data analyst jobs in australia.
It will definitely be helpful in teaching you the skills needed to become a Data Analyst and boost your portfolio with its capstone project. I think the course has more pull in the US as it is recognised by over 150 companies in the US
Hi Ranesh, Thank you for this valuable video. Please let me know if this course can help an undergraduate land a job. What courses will you recommend for an undergraduate?
Great question, my next video will be on this exact topic. I believe this course is meant to be an introductory to Data Analytics. It’s definitely a great add on to help you land a job especially because of the capstone project. At the end of the day you still need to put in the effort and enhance your skillset and make yourself more valuable to the employer
@@raneshguruparanwhat about Google advance certification. is that help me to get a job or any internship?
@@mdwamik409 Hey, I think the Google Advanced Data Analytics certification is a great way to learn advanced statistics and analysis techniques like Machine Learning. Depending on where you are in your career, this can definitely help you build the necessary skills you need to land a job. I made a review on this certification actually, I'll leave a link here if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/NdHtx2sWOqw/видео.html
@@raneshguruparan brother one more question can I go for direct after completing ibm data analytics certificate and I'm nearly finished my ibm data analytics program after completing this program can I go for this Google advance data analytics certificate
And my second question is I'm not good at math any pre-requisite math and stat?
@@mdwamik409 Hey bud, I think you should be good to go. The math requisites are basic calculus and linear algebra, nothing crazy. I like to learn as I go so if I get stuck with a specific math question while taking the course, I usually just use chatgpt or some other online resource to understand it (high level)
I am thinking of enrolling for a Master Degree in Business analytics, but the course is very expensive. Do you recommend this course in my case? I want to know more about it, but I don't have any experience in this field.
Hey Danielle, thats great that you want to get into business analytics/data analytics. I want to emphasise that this course alone will definitely not replace a degree but if you’re looking to gain some skills in data and understand the field a little better, then I think it’s a good introductory course. You will learn the fundamentals of data, how to use SQL, R and a BI tool and how to communicate with stakeholders and share your findings.
If you want a more economical way of exploring the field before committing to a masters degree, I think this is a good option
Thanks , I am currently a college student, and intended to apply a STEM-related master degree in the US, do you think the google data analytics certificate could maximize the possibility of receiving admission from the university? Thanks again
Hi Sean, yes I do. You could also contact or connect with the University to see if this course would be usable for college credit.
@@raneshguruparan wow, thank you for letting me know. I was contemplating about if i should enroll the class or not. After acquiring info from you had strengthen the resolve of pursuing the certificate. Sorry for my poor English. By the way, are u also an international students who was study in the usa, got the job after graduation? Let me know if u don’t mind.
Yeah, I came from Malaysia in 2022 and graduated just recently. Been working full time since
Hi Sean, im not sure if disclosing immigration intent is wise on public platforms like RUclips but I wish you all the best. I did recently become a Green Card holder
@raneshguruparan lol I didn't take negative effects of disclosing "that" took into account, iam already deleted it. And congratulations to you 👍
You mentioned that the google advanced data analytics course is better,but its said in the course's description that you need to have some prior experience before applying for that course,and im a begineer so i shouldnt be doing that right?please do reply
Hey, that’s a great question. Personally, if I had 0 experience with programming or data at all, I would start with the Google Data Analyst course. It’s a great introductory course and gets you set up with a solid foundation through projects. If you are comfortable with programming in Python, have a basic understanding of structured and unstructured data and how to manipulate, some basic linear algebra/matrix comprehension, then you might be able to go straight to the advanced course. Hope this helps!
@@raneshguruparando we need laptop or pc to complete the course?
@@spd615 I would recommend a laptop or pc. There are coding/programming components that may have specific requirements
@@raneshguruparan thankyou for responding it means it will be waste of time to get the course without laptop or pc.
I wouldn’t recommend getting the course if you don’t have a pc/laptop. You wouldn’t be able to maximize it to full capacity. If you’re still interested in learning Data Science/Analytics I would start with free resources on RUclips first until you can justify bigger purchases. Hope this helps!
How is this course for someone with no coding knowledge? I'm currently studying MBA and planning to become a data analyst
I would recommend this course for that exact audience. People who are unfamiliar with code/how to manipulate or understand data. It's an introductory course so pairing it with your MBA should be great!
@@raneshguruparan Thank you sir. By the way, "since it's an introductory course"....so I won't learn every tool from basic to advanced needed for data analytics ?
To learn every tool would take months maybe even years 😂 and I definitely don’t recommend it. Like I mentioned in the video the course goes over R, Google Sheets, Tableau, and SQL which are pretty commonly used in the industry and sufficient to go from an entry level position to something more senior. I prefer Python but once you learn R you can learn Python pretty easily. They do cover advanced concepts in statistics and Machine Learning in their Advance Google Data Analytics course which is more for Data Science / ML
Got this Certificate 3 months ago. Is it enough to find a job at the end of 2023? Big NO. Think twice, you're gonna spend a huge amount of time and some money
Thank you for your feedback!
Have you been applying? What sort of feedback have you received upon rejection?
This is just one of them, but it explains a lot: "Hi! {...} We have received 1,400 applications {... } I'll share your resume with the HM but I think we are going to be hiring an internal candidate for this role." This idea is ridiculously overhyped, but it's up to you to decide ... @@Videpedia101
yes i also want to know about the rejection feedback. Or what in combination would help better employment opportunities?
How much do u spend
Does this course require Windows pc? or Macbook is enough?
Macbook will suffice!
Do i have to pay a separate fee to get cetificate after paying the course fee?
Nope, it should be included!
The best country to do masters in data science in Europe suggests me one bro.
To be fair, im unqualified to give you a good answer because I haven’t done much research but in the US, there are some really prestigious schools who are known for their data science programs.
@@raneshguruparan Can you name them?? in US?
Here’s a good link to use at guidance: fortune.com/education/information-technology/best-masters-in-data-science/
What about it automation using python certification?
It depends on what you are optimizing for. Are you trying to get into Data Analytics or learn python for automation. I personally have never taken it so I can't give you reliable advice but I would look at the reviews and make a decision from there.
After getting enrolled in any course and successfully completing it, will I need to pay extra money for the certificate?
You shouldn't have to. I get the certifications upon completion. Sometimes if you finish a course within the free trial, you get certified too!
@@raneshguruparan Thank you for the response, brother. ❤️
Anytime bud!
@@user-gn1ew8kq1wyou have to pay first month
in US these certificates carry weightage, but not in india
Thank you for that feedback!
Is it necessary to have a laptop to study this ?
Yes, I would highly recommend some sort of pc of laptop to fully maximize this course. There are coding assignments and labs which would most likely require a laptop
@@raneshguruparan that was helpful ❤️
Is there any recommendations?
Depends on your preference. If you are a mac user, I recommend the M2 Mac Air, if you are a windows user then I recommend the Dell Inspiration 16
Any internship available for the data analysis?
A ton on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, etc
I am starting this certification,
I want to switch my profile into Data.
Is it enough?
Short answer: No.
Long Answer: It is enough to get you started, understand the fundamentals, get used to the tools and languages used, utilize the workflow and start with your first few projects. Becoming a Data Analyst and actually landing a job will require a lot more effort in terms of external learning and building out new projects, solving real world questions using data and applying for a boat load of jobs.
I hope that gave you some clarification
Thank you so much for the insights.
Just one last question
R or python which language to learn as per you?
@@praveenbartwal4903 Both, I started off with Python for Computer Science then dove deep into R for 2 years. Now I mainly use Python for Data Science & Machine Learning but I used R for school a lot. I think Python might be easier to learn but both are useful and very transferable!
Okay Thanks a lot.
Hi bro,Is this helpfull in financial field?
It definitely is especially if you’re interested in becoming a financial analyst. SQL, Google Sheets, Excel are definitely great tools to learn
@@raneshguruparan Thank you ❤️
Anytime!
Bro!
Can i get the certificate on Financial Aid
Hi, I believe so. I would double check by reaching out to their support team!
@@raneshguruparan Ok Thank You Bro 😍😍😍
Anytime!
As a beginner according to you which course would be more suitable:-
1.)google data analytics
2.)google advanced data analytics
3.)IBM data analyst
As a complete beginner with close to 0 knowledge when it comes to Excel, R, SQL, or any sort of data tools in general, I recommend taking the Google Data Analytics Certification (1), then I would spend some time deciding what you want to do next (focus in Data Analytics, pivot into Data Science or Machine Learning). Based on that I would pursue a relevant course from there (Advance Data Analytics if you want to pursue Data Analytics or IBM Data Science for Data Science/ Andrew Ng Machine learning for ML)
@@raneshguruparan thank u so much
Anytime!
Thanks for sharing-- I have an ipad to use instead of a computer-- is that okay when taking this certification?
@@cm5353 I think it's going to be difficult as there are a lot of programming components. I would recommend investing in a cheaper computer.
After this course complete, placement offers?
Not sure what you mean.
@@raneshguruparan What I want to say is that when this course is completed, will job offers come from Google?
No.
@@raneshguruparan If I apply reluctantly, can I get a data analysis job in Google?
As mentioned in the video, the certification alone (in my opinion) will not be enough to get a data analyst job. You will need to use the skills you learned there to improve your skillset
Will my Batchelor in computer science + this certification help me land a job?
Definitely, this certification is more meaningful as an add-on to make you standout among your peers
You actually have a Bachelor’s and you can’t even spell it correctly? Bruh.
Hi I just got enrolled , where I can find sa study group
Hey, thats great! Im would think there are discord servers or subreddits for that.
I'm hoping for English speaking skills like you😢
Haha, thanks! All the best
Bro can this certificate provide job
That depends on you. It provides the basic skills that you need to become a Data Analyst. Learning how to become a Data Analyst and landing a job are 2 different things. You could be excellent at coding, visualizing and storytelling but not put in the effort to network, apply for jobs, make a good resume, and sell yourself in your interviews. If you take the skills you learned from this certification and apply them with projects, build a good resume and continuously apply jobs, I have no doubt that you will find success.
