Top 7 BEST Data Analytics Certifications 

Let us know too!

You've done an amazing job, you got this!

Let us know the updates once you get a job. Excited for you!!

Thanks for your support ! It's been 2 weeks that i am actively sending resume and trying to contact recruiter. I am searching in Switzerland but it looks too competitive at that time. I need at least 1 year experience (2 is better) so right now im sending application for internship in switzerland and at the same time sending application in France so i can get my 1 year experience. For now i have literally no offer. In the morning i try networking and in the afternoon i try to improve my skills (i am studying on Spark and SAP currently)

@@axelsturm2469hi.. someome told me last time to do small projects and store it on GitHub so you can use it durimg your application. Therefore you can already show that you have experience. 😁 good luck! I sent out 7 applications last time and didn't get any.. but after some time I managed to get an interview.

What’s your background before pivoting?

@@LuisCedeno-rh8nv I was an office clerk in a government organization; a paper pusher so to speak; with no "career" to speak of. It was just a job to keep lights on.

Which course did you take exactly? Dsta science with R?

@@caty863 nice what kind of work are you doing now

Good to hear! I was considering that course.

Good bonus!

Thank you for sharing!

Well to be Frank the programs(challenges,events) used to get 100% discount....but idk why they changed it to 50.... Past years are better....

Where the link @xdxd123451

what of Coursera certifications?

Wow, thank you!

@@learnwithlukas Thank you, and I actually decided to take 2 certificates that you talked about in the near future hopefully ❤️

Thanks for watching!

You're not a reader if you're on RU-vid, you're a viewer. Creators make money off of people watching. It's not a blog.

Haha thanks

Yes, check out the roadmap: learnwithlukas.com/roadmap Glad it was helpful! No need for donations but thanks

@@learnwithlukasYes! Though I want to ask about certifications (sorry for saying certificates, my mistake), do you have any recommendations for what to look into after the Google Cert? I’m already using your roadmap and don’t see any recommended certifications. Possibly you could add certifications to your roadmap if necessary? Sorry for the typo.

@@llama-pr6dn Google Cert is limiting for me. It uses R instead of Python. Sheets instead of excel. Waste of time

A good companion to this course is the META Database Engineer...the next step would be getting a certification like the Microsoft Power BI and/or Tableau Data Analyst cert

Add a comment when you got a job

They don't care about degrees or certs. Boot camps and hands on is ironically more valuable now lol

😫

same bro

Someone even with masters didn't land a job then how will others stand out in this area OMG 😮

Added to description!

If you mean the marketing analyst: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aIXYgBAmAO4.html

Great point! That's a good option if you don't want to go for the full data analyst cert

How can i get a 50% discount via Coursera?

Sure, you can take the PL 300 exam, it's a good one, but you should have some knowledge of SQL as well to meet requirements

Check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HZcwkWlspNA.htmlsi=1b_y6gYUyAbzZmFx

hey, I'm currently in my first module. Any tips?

Over 300,000 people have completed the Google Data Analytics certificate so using it as your sole indicator that you are competent in Data Analytics may result in a very difficult time finding a job. Employers want a candidate that has experience and proof of their skills. The exams and certificates mentioned in this video will show that you know the knowledge that you write on your resume but you need multiple tools in your belt to stick out. You need at least 5 to 8 quality case studies in your profile and be able to speak of these case studies in details during your interview. You also need to find out what companies you want to work for and determine what applications and tools do they use for Data Analytics. All companies are not equal with what they use and you need to tailor your skills and certifications that align with the companies you want to work for. Same goes for industry. If you want to get into the automotive industry you need to be knowledgeable about that industry.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Looks more solid than anyone of them here . That is also quite pricey last time I checked .

CompTIA Data+, He stated that it's the most commonly and well known.

Hi, datacamp is just a platform. Any platform works, just figure out what you prefer. I did make a video on DataCamp: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2X3i_6bul9s.html

Thats a certificate, not a certification.

@@RichardRietdijkahh, got you, thanks for the reply

These are for data analysts, not data scientists, however I will try to make a data science certification video in the future.

Please make a video

Good for beginners

That’s actually insane! Congrats! It’s a matter of keeping your skill sharp really and start learning more as you go with the job and engage with coworkers lol. Is it a remote position?

do lot of tutorials. Use knowledge of tutorials and apply to your own situation

@thatgoanguy4427 congrats🎉 How did you get the job and how long did it take for you to get the job?

Please how did you go about this?

Tableau hands down - hence the premium on it

Both have their pros and cons and are very useful

Never too late

I’d you have a masters then I know for a fact I have no chance at this

No way. I know the job market is tight but it doesn’t make sense as to what you’re saying. Unless you’re a novice with no experience is the other case:

You need to focus on Python, SQL, and Tableau/PowerBI. With a master's and those tools, you can work anywhere.

Is it really that rough?? Do you even have a portfolio, let alone know the useful tools asides from Excel (Python, SQL, PowerBI/Tableau)?

​@@harry8912that is the case actually. I got the Master's in order to pivot into an analyst role. I had experience but in non-technical, non-analyst roles. But maybe I'd have better luck if I learnt Python/R, Power BI/Tableau and SQL. However I was applying for entry-level analyst roles and analytics graduate programs and couldn't really land an interview even which I found worrying

They have a lot of different "nano-degrees". It is worth looking into, I took a few of their beginner courses for free, each first course is free but I wouldn't spend my money there. RU-vid has plenty of knowledge not to mention, textbooks are great. Sure you won't be certified, but look online for "popular" certs, but make sure they are relevant to your career.

Look at analytical roles with job descriptions that match your skills and look across different industries there are still a lot of openings

Interesting! Thanks for letting us know

Replaced by Data Engineer Associate which is $150 instead of $300 for Analytics

Some have 2 attemps, some require you to pay again

​@@learnwithlukasyou could have added that information which is necessary and helpful

@Kennymontero8610 I appreciate your kind words. This is all the motivation I need going forward. Almost beginning to doubt myself as the further I go into learning python the less I seem to be getting it. Big ups man.

@@kennymontero8610Hey, May I ask if you work at a remote position? You have any familiarity with the odds stacked against a prospective entry analyst looking for remote work compared to commuting? Would love some insight from a person that already done it

@@Qesili Python is rough! Some personal advice, focus on Excel, SQL and Tableau. If you have the time of course grind Python. But my portfolio consisted of a lot of SQL and tableau.

@@Xaviallin1 truthfully, remote DA positions are steadily decreasing as time moves forward. Luckily for me i do work remote, and have never worked in office. I must say that the entry level field is extremely saturated but one thing that i have noticed is everyone wants a remote job. I believe it is better to get your foot in the door and gain experience remote or in office (easier said than done). When i started my search 1 year ago i was not looking for specifically remote jobs, once i was hired i was told the remote policy of the company. To sum everything up, it’s going to be difficult to find a remote data analyst job with 0 experience but it’s ofcourse possible but if you are just limiting yourself to remote positions you are going to make you job search more difficult.

I tell you what, it’s 10 college credits! 😂 that’s very powerful too 😊😂

Don't take his word for it. You don't need the certifications. Building your projects portfolio is much much more productive for leading a job.

If you have to pass some examination with the possibility of failing and having to retake it either for free for only a certain amount of attempts or pay to take the exam again, they’re more than likely certifications he is referring to. Certificates are merely given as completion with little examination that faces you unlimited tries at the most part.

I am currently working on multiple career roadmaps and a new website! Coming soon

You just aren't qualified

Those with a portfolio. There would be nothing separating you from the labour market

Certs don’t matter. I don’t recommend getting more than one cert. They’re only the cherry on top as a portfolio with projects is the true determining factor to demonstrating skills

@@Xaviallin1 thx bro

@allin1xavi283 one more question, how can we show our projects? Do we put a link to our github and just store the source code on github? And which projects would you recommend bec I've already done a power bi one, a sql one and a AWS data pipeline one
