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.

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 wish it covered Python, but that’s what self learning is for. I finished the first module. While it is good to start off, I do feel like the examples they give are just too basic. Maybe that’ll change as I do the other modules though. Currently looking into changing my career to developer and this might be a good way to transition.

As someone who has done a lot of stats, I do feel obliged to defend R a little 😂. R is considerable better than python when it comes to running complex statistical models (such as factorial ANOVAs, mixed or logistic regressions, bootstrapping, etc...), however, it is clearly not as good of a programming language. In all, I definitely agree with you that we should always try to learn both but I just thought I'd say that 🙂! Anyways I love the channel, keep doing what you're doing because it's quality content as always!

Master programs cost $30k +, so if this course can accomplish similar results it’s a no brainer. From all accounts it seems like data analytics is something that can be self taught successfully, but you do loose out on the connections and resources made at universities

@@matthewmcneil216 hey Matthew. I think issue with MIS is that it’s become so common. The degree is really general in terms of Business IT but you never really specialize in anything. I think Business Analytics might be a better choice. I like my degree but I would’ve chosen to specialize in something. Jack of all trades, master of none Also Portfolio, Portfolio, Portfolio. No matter your major, take screenshots or save everything you to show the work you can do. Too often people can put down the skills they have but can’t prove it. A portfolio, even an academic one, would show that you are familiar with certain tools. Employers care more about tools than methodology. Methodology is also important but tools come first. Best of luck to you. I hope the job market is better. Also look into going organizations. Networking will land you job faster than others.
