I truly enjoyed the Google Data Analytics course! It took me from zero to feeling job-ready in a few months. The course was well-structured and taught me how to use tools like spreadsheets, SQL, and Tableau. I also learned about data ethics and how to approach problems using the data analysis process. The case studies and capstone project were very helpful. I’d recommend this to anyone interested in switching to a data-related field.
