It’s a bit overwhelming and there’s not much guidance as to how to best utilize the skills I’ve learned so far. I suppose that’s part of the “self-learning” aspect of the program though. I’m very glad I found your channel, I have a feeling It will soon become one of my favorites.

    Thanks for the review and I agree-this course looks pretty awesome. My one caveat is it seems a bit much to expect a beginner with no experience to learn R, SQL and Tableau AND do all that's necessary to complete the course in under 6 months. Google may put universities out of business with these courses. Higher education needs a shake up. This could be it.

      Actually, I was a beginner when I started this course. I knew a little about spread sheets but I learned that in high school. I have been trucking for 14 years since then though. The course was quite easy but there's no way I'll land a job in this field. It's saturated with applicants and a Google certificate isn't enough. Maybe if you know someone and they can help you get a job, it might be enough but for someone like me, you'll never get hired. Don't get your hopes up like I did.

    Thanks Alex. I got to know this course thanks to your recommendation in another video. It seems to be a well-structured course and doesn't require any specific IT or math background knowledge. One thing I would recommend is that you can actually audit the course, do the ungraded quizzes, then pay to complete the graded assignments. You can do this to study for as long as you want and pay very little as well. I personally prefer to go through and digest every small details so completing this course in 6 months seems like a good option for me. Trying to complete it quickly can be counter productive.

      ​@@mr.frenchii8973 Hi. I'm sorry I didn't get notification for your comment. When you go to a course, click the Enroll for free button. It will ask you if you want a 7-day trial but look at the bottom of that window instead and you'll find the option to "Audit the course." It's really small but it should be there.
      Remember you can only audit a course and not the entire program. For example, in the Google DA certificate, if you enroll for the certificate, you won't find the audit option. You need to go to the specific course, for example "Foundations: Data, data, everywhere", then enroll into that course to have the audit option available.

I never watched anything close to this except for the odd Python video here and there. I don't mind it though, since I have been looking for a career path that would take me away from being an electrician for quite a while now, and Data Analysis looks incredibly interesting. I'll take a closer look at Data Analysis first, but this might be the path I'm going down and it makes me really excited that google put out this course. I really hope that, once I dive deeper into this topic, it will turn out to be what I want to do.
