Hey! How's it going ?

Hahah I did a few “it’s a topic for another video” to keep the conversation focused else I would talk for hours :) def working on “another” videos and will be sharing soon. Still trying to find my rhythm with RU-vid.

Thank you!

I began taking this course and have completed the course Data Data everywhere. Can't wait to learn more. Thanks again for inspiring us.

Awesome, that’s my goal. It’s a bit long but I’m glad I got to touch on everything I wanted to share.

Thank you! Noted on your suggestion. Will think more about it and how it can be nicely packed into a video

Hey, do you think that after this you are job ready. And what other areas do you think you need to improve after taking this course

Is there any course fee?

Can you please tell me how much does it cost you?

@@All_About_Bangalore yes it is. You can audit the course for learning purpose but to get certification you need to pay. Its on coursera

I'm a content writer, no back ground in programming, can I take this course

In oct 2022.. how about someone with Little IT background it is wise to do Google data analytics along with IT automation with python?

Should i have data analytics starter books to understand the topics in the google course better ?

@@breadgenie9585 No, course is pretty great and keeps you engaged

@@ihameed Thankyou for the reply.

Amazing!

Glad to inform I finished course ans for certificate in my pocket

@@prashantpatadia2586 how long it took you?

@@xhuduwfucalwodo It took nearly 40 days

That’s a great idea. Let me look into that. A part 2 substitute would be amazing.

Can we complete this course in less time. I want to study 20 hours a week . Is it possible?

@@jatinsharma8471 yes possible

@@SundasKhalid Hi Sundas, any video on this ? and thank you for the insights!

@@SundasKhalid Please review MIT Micromasters in Statistics and Data Science

Hello Saad Anwar. So you have completed the course. Did you find this course useful to start a new career as data analyst or have you taken this course as knowledge addition. Your reply will be helpful for me coz I am planning to start a new career as data analyst through this course.

@@harikrishnanbelraj5123 NOTE: LONG ANSWER AHEAD! Hi Hari! I hope you will be doing fine. Before answering that, I would like to add some info about my professional background. This will help you understand the bigger picture. I am a computer science graduate, never liked programming back in my university days, which is in 2003. Unfortunately, back then there were not many great resources online or offline available to teach coding in a simple and fun way. So, started my career in the digital marketing domain back in 2007. I have 15+ years of experience in the digital marketing industry. However, I felt unsatisfied with my professional and intellectual growth. Looking for ways to improve my skillsets and expertise. I tried Codecademy to learn HTML, CSS, and javascript, completed the course but failed miserably to find an entry-level job or freelance work related to those skillsets. So, I left that as it is. Then I tried my hand in different computer programming languages, C, C#, Java, but unfortunately never mastered any of those. Last year, I lost my job during the COVID19 lockdown and I was feeling down and depressed. I found this course through a friend’s newsfeed. Data Analytics was new to me, as I have discussed earlier. However, after finishing the course, I realized that I have been doing a lot of basic data analysis without knowing it. For example, when I analyze data offered by Google Analytics to find ways to improve a website’s organic/paid traffic I was doing a sort of data analysis. As Dave Langer, a very astute data scientist RU-vidr said, you will be doing a lot of KPI analysis for the business you are working for. In summary, if you are a fresh graduate, go for this course, this will add value to your resume to get an entry-level job as a data analyst. If you are an experienced professional, still go for the course, it will conceptually clear a lot of things about data analytics and data science and all possible career pathways. If you are planning to switch your career after completing this course, and you are at a very early stage of a career path, then please do so, but keep in mind that this is just the beginning of a life-long learning journey. If you are an experienced professional, this course will complement your already existing expertise and skillset very well, but be careful and considerate before making a full career switch to become a data analyst, data scientist, or data engineer, especially if you don’t have a computer science background. The learning curve is steep and requires mastering different tools and techniques. Microsoft Excel, SQL, R, and Python. Also improve your basic mathematics like calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. In my understanding, having a very good grip of Statistical concepts will help you a lot. You can always learn to write code in any language, but you should exactly know what kind of “analysis” you are performing on your data to answer a business query. At the end of the day, it is always a CEO, COO, CFO, Marketing Manager, Marketing Director, OR Product Manager, who wants answers to his/her queries about a certain business problem. I may have oversimplified it because of my inexperience, but this is what I have learned so far. I would love to hear from other people what they think of my assessment of data science.

Amazing!

I've done project management certification as well and now looking for data analytics certification. One question for you is do you recommend this course to a person who is coming from non-IT background and has zero knowledge about coding and all?

Thank you!

Tony....good feedback. I'm just starting mine...I'm in South Africa, I have been working without direction my whole life...I am very keen and intrested in redirecting my whole perspective and finding myself. Thanks again.

How long did it take you to complete? Also, how many hours did you dedicate a week? Did you find it challenging?

@@kittkat813 It took me 3 months to finish it. I was doing about 15 to 20 hours per week during the lockdown. It is recommended 6 months doing about 10 hours per week to complete the course. Challenging? It depends what you are good at and what you enjoy learning. But, SQL and R was a little bit challenging for me, coz I am not good at coding. In general I would say it is a little challenging, but nothing to be afraid of. It is a very basic intro course into database concepts and analytics. But, I think it is a really good introductory course. Good luck.

Is this free of cost???

@@TonyMontana-pe6vf What's your age... I am a new beginner for all the new coding language should I learn first c++, java, html Or shall I take the data analytics courses please replay me.. Thank you ❤🙏

Hi. I am in the final year of my cost accountancy professional course. My university introduced certification in data analytics but instead of R, they are teaching python. Since I am not from this background, can you please advise whether I should also learn python in addition to this course?

@@kartikgawde4261 Learn both. Both are useful and you will likely be competing against people who know both.

😁

Hey! I am from India as well. 33, married with 2 kids, So what was your experience like? I am about to get started.

Can you please tell what's VA training?

Are there any Data Science Certifications by Google???

IBM professional data analytics coursera please compare it with google certification which 1 is better.

Mam...I'm newl'y started Data-Science,please Tell me,how to Start and How many hours per day to prepare for data science,Give Some advices for me

Hi Sundas, I am from a non tech person and been into the non tech world for about 15 years now.. Wanna move to tech industry and I have started learning programming languages and am pursuing this Data Analytics course. I am curious if the Stanford Online certificate courses on programming and Cybersecurity is any good for someone like me. Please do a video on the same. Thanks in advance

Mam how can I attach that badge on my certificate?

Sounds like you would make a good video. Ppl will be flooding the comments section😉.

Hi Jacqueline, I completed all 8 modules and there are mini-certificates earned from each one PLUS a final certificate for the whole course at the end. You have to do all 8 modules to get the certificate but a large part of module 8 is optional.

At what age we can apply?

You can try linkedin and doing some internships. Also, one approach I can tell you to follow is build projects on kaggle and showcase your skills. It'll help you in landing a good job

I am at course 5 which is Analysis phase. Just completed week 2

I just started. And I am really excited though i am well-versed with python and pandas. Any tips from your end guyz 😊
