Prepare Data for Exploration

• When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

  Der Zugang zu Vorlesungen und Aufgaben hängt von der Art Ihrer Anmeldung ab. Wenn Sie einen Kurs im Gastmodus belegen, können Sie die meisten Kursmaterialien kostenlos einsehen. Um auf benotete Aufgaben zuzugreifen und ein Zertifikat zu erhalten, müssen Sie während oder nach Ihrer Gastphase das Zertifikat erwerben. Wenn Sie die Gastoption nicht sehen:

  • Der Kurs bietet möglicherweise keine Gastoption an. Sie können stattdessen eine kostenlose Testversion ausprobieren oder finanzielle Unterstützung beantragen.
  • Der Kurs kann stattdessen "Vollständiger Kurs ohne Zertifikat" anbieten. Mit dieser Option können Sie alle Kursmaterialien einsehen, die erforderlichen Aufgaben einreichen und eine Endnote erhalten. Dies bedeutet auch, dass Sie kein Zertifikat erwerben können.

• Was bekomme ich, wenn ich dieses Zertifikat abonniere?

  Wenn Sie sich für den Kurs anmelden, erhalten Sie Zugriff auf alle Kurse des Zertifikats und Sie erhalten nach Abschluss aller Arbeiten ein Zertifikat. Ihr elektronisches Zertifikat wird zu Ihrer Seite „Errungenschaften“ hinzugefügt – von dort können Sie Ihr Zertifikat ausdrucken oder es zu Ihrem LinkedIn-Profil hinzufügen. Wenn Sie lediglich den Inhalt des Kurses lesen und anzeigen möchten, können Sie kostenlos als Gast an dem Kurs teilnehmen.

• What is data analytics?

  Data is a group of facts that can take many different forms, such as numbers, pictures, words, videos, observations, and more. We use and create data everyday, like when we stream a show or song or post on social media.

  Data analytics is the collection, transformation, and organization of these facts to draw conclusions, make predictions, and drive informed decision-making.

• Why start a career in data analytics?

  The amount of data created each day is tremendous. Any time you use your phone, look up something online, stream music, shop with a credit card, post on social media, or use GPS to map a route, you’re creating data. Companies must continually adjust their products, services, tools, and business strategies to meet consumer demand and react to emerging trends. Because of this, data analyst roles are in demand and competitively paid.

  Data analysts make sense of data and numbers to help organizations make better business decisions. They prepare, process, analyze, and visualize data, discovering patterns and trends and answering key questions along the way. Their work empowers their wider team to make better business decisions.

• What background is required?

  No experience with spreadsheets or data analytics is required. All you need is high-school level math and a curiosity about how things work.

• Do you need to be strong at math to succeed in this certificate?

  You don't need to be a math all-star to succeed in this certificate. You need to be curious and open to learning with numbers (the language of data analysts). Being a strong data analyst is more than just math—it's about asking the right questions, finding the best sources to answer your questions effectively, and illustrating your findings clearly in visualizations.

• What tools and platforms are taught in the curriculum?

  You'll learn to use analysis tools and platforms such as spreadsheets (Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel), SQL, presentation tools (Powerpoint or Google Slides), Tableau, RStudio, and Kaggle.

• Which “spreadsheet” platform is being taught?

  Learners can self-select which platform they want to use throughout the program: Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. It’s up to the learner’s preference. All activities throughout the syllabus can be performed on either platform.

• Do you need to take each course in order?

  We highly recommend completing the courses in the order presented because the content in each course builds on information from earlier lessons.
