TOP REVIEWS FROM FOUNDATIONS: DATA, DATA, EVERYWHERE
This training has been incredibly helpful to me. Even though the term or precise stage is unclear, I have been working as a data analyst for a while. After taking this course, I feel really competent.
If you have experience with data and data exploration. This will be a piece of cake or more precisely a walk over toward the course.
However, still recommended to earn a pace towards this learning
I just finished the course. This course was great not only the materials but also the instructor.
Once again, the course so mind blowing. I feel more confidence to do data analyst.
Thanks Google
I found this course to be very informative in the basics of the field data analyst but I have taken other courses in data analysis/ science and therefore I don't know if I am biased by my experience.
