[@Hsinking]

I have completed a long list of ds moocs on different platforms and I found two things: 1,a certificate, no matter what its name is, which uni/company it is from, is a completely different thing than a degree; in most cases it gives width instead of depth, and width alone can not let you have an entry level job ( there is a huge gap between completion of a cert and job ready skills); 2, ds path is already over crowded, a junior or entry level job, as long as it has 'analyst' in its name, will attract a lot more applications than other ones, if all you have is a cert or a dozen of certs then there is very little chance that you can stand out. I sincerely suggest that unless you have a genuine love for data, otherwise it is better you choose another path to start your career, it will be a lot easier.

[@alemayehudesta2744]

Hi, I like your perspective. I have tried to break in to the data analytics industry with no technical background. It seems it’s the crowded destination for career changers, new grads from all areas. A single job post has a minimum of 200 applicants. It’s very hard to breakthrough. Any idea what industry would be relatively easy to break in? Cyber? Cloud? Thank you

I checked the course material of " Google Business Intelligence Professional Certificate." and " Google Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate".

Also many data analysts says that most lesat skills used as a data analyst is python. and that is the reason i picked "Google Business Intelligence Professional Certificate". I would love to hear your opinion on "Google Business Intelligence Professional Certificate". Thanks for making this video.

I plan on reviewing that soon! Definitely agree that Python is not necessary at the beginning. This is why I think the Advanced in the course title makes sense. I didn't need it till I was more of a mid-level analyst.

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Interesting question - I would say this is a good Python course. I don't know if I would change the Python for Everybody course. That's a fundamental course for Python, but goes really in depth. This course is much more Analytics focused so it's quite different and narrow. This would come after the Python for Everybody course.

I think this would be a great video. I have definitely looked into how AI would affect DA before changing careers. From what I have found so far, AI lacks the ability to interpret the data. Plus there are so many ways to gather data it may still require the human element for some time. The AI might be used to make the job easier which could potentially affect the pay scale. I would love to hear Alex’s take on this.

[@mariaeugeniadiaz3316]

Thanks for all your videos, I did first certicate with a scholarship , it was good for me because i didn't have any knowledge. Later i did IBM python courses in IBM skillsbuild and i prefer python :p

[@eddievanheinous666]

I'm guessing you like this course because, well, you know Python. But anyone taking this course for the first time, beware - they go over the basics, but very quickly throw you into scenarios that are pretty complex. And if you get stuck on something or have a question, forget it. There are zero instructors or anyone there to answer those. Nobody. Figure it out or fail. I (a 23 year tech vet) started this course day one, and am pausing for a month to.... learn Python first. And then I'll return to the course because I do want the Cert. Pretty ridiculous.

[@BigiGuyyyy]

Damn dude, I am planning to start and learn Data Analysis bro. You recommend to learn Python first and get into this? What else do you recommend to like have some knowledge before doing this bro? Any recommendations would help bro.

I'm halfway through the basic google data analytics professional cerificate, should i stop it and switch to the advanced one? or should I take this after I'm done with the basic one?

[@fcohndzlopez0106]

Do this one after if you're new to data analytics, if you're already experienced just go straight to the advanced one

[@ntonyjaime_]

Hi Alex,i have a question. I started with python recently and I just learnt recently SQL/Excel would be preferable to begin with as a data analyst. I want to start with SQL but i feel i should finish with the one i started (which is python) and then move to others. What do you think

[@paulmendoza5928]

Hello guys :) Can i do this one and not the initial certificate? or should i start in the first one? i did some turbopascal on xemacs back in the day, and some math. thanks

[@ghostmutton]

As someone who is just now halfway through the original Data Analytics certificate course, I can't help feel a little sour. The first one was touted as a "learn-at-your-pace" course that would have you prepared to enter a job by the end of it. So now there's an "advanced" version; does that mean I'm going to have to pay for and work through another 3-4 months of classes to get a job anywhere because I only took the "basic" one? Is the original course I'm taking suddenly outdated and a waste of time?

[@cool18ever]

The most important question do I have to take the Google analytics course before starting this one?? since it's advance?

[@godkindejosef2021]

Hi alex! Im planning to have this certificate rather than the previous one as a complete beginner. Is it ok? What do you recommend?

[@sohanagate3037]

Same question is it ok to get this one first

[@AdityaGaur-h5i]

I am complete beginner, and confused between fundamental DA course and this advanced DA course, So, which one should i opt so that i can work as Data scientist and land a great job? @alex pls provide me the road map.

[@nikhilmohamed3816]

Hi Alex, thanks for the breakdown. I had recently enrolled for the IBM's cert since it focused on python. I'm guessing it's okay to take this course next and as it builds on the foundation laid by the IBMs course. Or is it necessary to do the Google' DA course before moving onto this one. Thank you in advance 😊

[@makav3li665]

I previously took the Google Data Analytics course after which i am currently taking the IBM data analyst cert. I think it's best to complete the IBM analyst cert before proceeding to the Google Advanced DA. Always good to finish what you have started. Looking forward to taking the GADA after this. Good luck on your journey

[@ArtoriasSif]

I was just about to ask the exact same question, it would be much appreciated if someone could answer if we could take this advanced course by Google directly after the IBM one or do we need to take the beginning Google one first

[@makav3li665]

@@ArtoriasSif you can take anyone first as you choose. Both the Advanced Google and IBM offer python while the first Google DA certificate offers R programming language. The difference is the Advanced Google DA has more recent materials since it's the latest among the rest.

[@wrhytz]

Google is to AI, as IBM is to ML. Is it? Like Google is to software, as IBM is to hardware. Is it? As MSWindows, Arduino, Linox, Apple, Android, or other OS platforms. Flowcharting, got me.

[@vibhavaribellutagi9439]

Thanks a lot for this Video Alex. Im new to the data analysis, I was planing to take some certificates on data analysis. What do you think about taking the "Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate" first and than "Google Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate"? Or can I jump directly to Google "Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate"?

[@apamwamba]

Education is generally worth it but this course covers too much. They should have broken it down starting with a foundations course on Relational Data Modelling , SQL and Self Service Data analytics [Desktop and Cloud].

[@ChristianRodes-k7t]

Thanks! Does it make sense in 2024 to do both the standard and the advance courses, or is it better to focus directly on the advanced course?

[@xcaliber302]

Hi Alex, Thanks for the insightful video. Would you recommend this course for a beginner ?

[@igpg5]

So for someone that is just getting into data analytics. Would you recommend this one or the career foundry one?

[@Louisianish]

I’m curious if IBM will come out with an advanced data analytics certificate or at least update their current one and go more in-depth now that Google has come out with this course. They are, after all, competitors when it comes to professional certificates.
