Can I still get some data analyst roles? Or should I switch back to the data analyst course? While comparing I realized that the data analyst course has excel which the data science course does not have and lacks the machine learning aspect. I am comfortable with excel given my practical labs in the college statistics courses I took. So is the data science course the right choice to get some entry level data analyst roles?

    Thanks for the review Alex. I breezed through the first 3 courses in this certificate and felt super confident I could nail this in a couple of months time. I must admit it got super hard from course 4 - Python for Data Science, AI & Development. The learning curve is exponential. Each of those 7-15 min videos took me 4-5 hours to complete with contact pauses-plays. The Python in this course is definitely not for beginners. I completed the 4th course just for the sake of it but I don't believe I have mastered any of the skills. Maybe I'm not cut out for this program and should start from ground zero like comptia itf+ or Google IT Support. But data analysis/science is something I would wish to pursue

      you can take python for everybody specialization from university of michigan.
      I really knew a little about python and I learned data analysis during my study like R, Excel, statistical testing etc. but I did not pursue it far and basically my skills degraded. my plan was to learn the tool first so I chose U-M's python specialization after that learn SQL, data visualization (Tableau etc.)

    Hi Alex,
    Thanks for your video. What is the difference between this course offered on Coursera and edX? From what I can see, on Coursera it's $39/month and you pay however long it takes you to complete it. But on edX it's about $800 but you can take as long was you want to finish it? Seems like Coursera is the better deal.
