Don’t normally comment but I started watching your videos back in October of 2021. After watching your videos and doing the Google Analytics Certificate I am starting my first tech job as a Jr Data Analyst! So thank you for all your videos and information, it definitely helped me on my career change.
That's so awesome! Congrats!!
Hey Kyle! Glad things are working out for you! Can you share what you did during/after the Google Certification in order to land the job? Did you have previous related-experience in tech too?
@@AlexTheAnalyst How difficult would it be to become a data analyst without a college degree? You probably get this question often so I apologize lol
@@bryan1635 just be interested in the field and learn, and when you start searching you will probably find what you're looking for
I started taking the first two courses a few months ago after taking the Google Analytics certification, because I am working in marketing. I found them content to be pretty basic as well, very introductory, I stopped the course and started studying for the Marketing science meta certification by myself (I already have knowledge in statistics, Python and data modeling) by watching the blueprint videos and lectures. I passed at my first attempt, and I can say the most important thing is to understand the basics of Facebook products for data analysis, hypothesis, interpretation of MMM models, conversion and brand lifts.
Thanks for reviewing this, I have just finished some parts of the Google analytics course so I'm trying to find what to do next. I think the Google course is a little bit basic if you have analytics experience already, although I did learn things from the course that will help make me a more well rounded data analyst. Great content as always 😊
Definitely a bit basic, it's the absolute starting point tbh
This was super informative! I graduated college about a year ago with double majors in business analytics and marketing and have been thinking about getting into more marketing analytics type work after working with more general data (and some heavy/advanced financial/accounting data - not my cup of tea) at my current job. I have the data background and general marketing knowledge, but not much experience in specific marketing analytics techniques - that part of this course may be interesting!
hi alex i come from djibouti and i like data analyse and you help me to built hard portoflio and you give me a confidence to start my journey as data analyste
I really loved the course 3 of this certificate, I absolutely didn't feel any inconvenience about a bit dark background of the instructor, his manner of presenting the material was quite good and the content itself seemed great to me. This course sparked my interest for statistics and motivated me to take an in-depth statistics course. Actually, Google Analytics certificate is missing statistics completely (I'm right now in the last course of it) and in my opinion it is hard to do a thorough and in-depth analysis of data without the knowledge of statistics. So I would really recommend course 3 to those who have completed Google analytics certificate.
I agree with you. I really like this instructor and I find the material very easy to understand and apply, much more practical than any other statistics course I've tried to use. I completed the Google Data Analytics course and although I think that overall it's much better than the one from Meta, it does miss the statistics piece. I believe that they explain that statistics is need in data science and not in analytics. But at least in my country, almost all analyst job descriptions include some amount of statistics.
Please guide me about the assignment in course 3
Hey, I'm that "character" from the 2nd course! 😄 Only watch 7:20 to 9:35 (especially @8:50), the part where it's about me & my part!
But more seriously, a buddy of mine follows you and I just so happened to check you out via them where I saw this review of the Meta course I helped build! I won't comment too much about the course & your review but I will say I think it's fair coming from a data analyst and there's always room for improvement for the team.
I actually work full-time as a data scientist / machine learning engineer but I teach & help develop technical courses on the side. But I usually go the "off-camera" route or do live recordings (I used to be a data science instructor / curriculum developer at a boot camp, Flatiron School, where I would do live lectures). Frankly, it's nice to hear your relatively positive comments on the part I helped build and lead!
I personally try to constantly improve (maybe my "stage presence" could be better 😉) but I won't lie and say that it didn't make me feel proud that you generally liked my section 😄 I could easily see creating a whole course from just a couple weeks of the Python section, but of course there are real world restrictions & limitations that come into play in building a full course like this. And I am obviously biased towards my section since it's what most closely what I do in my day-to-day lol
Anyways, thanks for sharing your opinions in this review! I know everyone on the team & I are always looking to improve! I've been wanting to go back and make more explanation UA-cam videos on data science, machine learning, and software development so this has personally been helpful!
I couldn't ask for a more honest and independent review from a data analyst! Keep it up!
Haha your presentation was my favorite out of all of them! Happy to hear my review was fair :D
Thanks Alex, this was helpful!
Hi sir Alex! I just been wondering is your tabluea tutorial series is done? Or are we going to see an intermediate series? Thank you sir Alex been a fruitful journey for me since I watched your videos.
Alex, what is the difference between IBM's certificate in Data Analysis vs. Data Science?
Hello Alex, can you please make a video on questions which can be ask in an interview from the projects you have created when we put them into our resume
Thanks for the review Alex!
Since I started my journey in the Data Analytics field, I have the feeling that Udemy courses made by "expert individuals" are more practical and better suited than those from big universities or companies.
I am currently half-way the DA Google certifcate and although it is very well explained and the content goes straight to the point, it feels a bit slow and full of things that in my opinion are important but secondary such as: communication, CV preparation, ethics...
I had another bad experience with a popular Javascript course from Hapwkings University...
Whereas other courses that I took about Python and ML taught by particulars are more focused on the skills.
I guess we have to balance the possibility to get a valid certification and the actual content we learn.
Thanks again, love your content!
Carlos.-
Yeah, I think as a whole I am more of a fan of specific skills being taught instead of broad courses/certifications like these.
Alex, Meta is launching five new courses this month, one of them is Database Engineer. But to review them need to wait till 2023 as the courses are released bit by bit
Hi, thank you for your amazing content. I am following your tutorials. So, far the journey is amazing. But I want to level up difficulty level and skill level. But I am unable to figure out how to do. Can you please make a video or series to demonstrate how actual data analysis projects work in real world organization. Thank you
I disagree with the part where you said clustering is not related to marketing analytics... A lot of companies do use clustering for customers segmentation before they ads. I am not sure abt the context in this particular course though.
It seems they updated the course.
2 new sections were added:
1. Data Analysis with Spreadsheets and SQL - 25 hours
2. Python Data Analytics - 25 hours
The total time to completion increased to "7 months at 10 hours a week"
I don't have knowledge in coding. can I still start learning this course like a beginner?
Hi Alex, if I’m only interested in the marketing data analytics part of the course (I have finished the google data analytics certification, have python and sql knowledge as well). Do you recommend only taking section 4 and skipping the rest?
Yes I do :)
Great review & feedback Alex !
I myself am a data analyst who used to be a digital marketer / traditional marketer.
This entire Coursera Specialization is highly geared ONLY ( as Alex already stated) for those wanting to be in the Marketing Analytics space. I’d also like to add a few things:
1. Even if you’re a generic or non marketing analyst, having digital marketing skills is still a good add on or even as a part time / side hustle .
2. For this like me going into Marketing Analytics, this entire specialization gives you a FREE VOUCHER for the META certification exams.
Good luck everyone 😎🤓.
Hey I am a non-major in coding. Can I learn this course like a beginner?
Currently on my first course of the specialization. It isn't something I already don't know but it's a great collection of information considering I am a self learner.
Hello Alex, i already finished the google data analytics course, what course would you recommend for someone with interest in business abal
Thanks for keeping it real!
I always will!
Thank you for reviewing this course, I Have question about what courses recommended about finance for data analysis ???
And thank you again
Have a nice day
Hey Alex, love your content mate! Question, how do you record the screen and talk at the same time? I'm a new youtube and could use some advice :) Would also love to do a video collab with you!
I use OBS to record my screen and a separate camera and mic to record me talking. I then lay over my talking over the screen recording and sync them up :) hope that helps!
@@AlexTheAnalyst thanks mate, I'll look it up!
I’m in marketing should I go for Google or Meta program first?
Hey Alex, can you make a video on how to practice solving case studies .. It would be great for data nerds and me too
I should do that - I've done lots of case studies :)
Should i go to School for marketing or just get my knowledge from websites like coursera?
hi Alex, can you also please review the Meta database engineer?
Hello Alex good morning. I wanted to ask what subtopics in excel do I need to know to be a data analyst also? Like are we supposed to all the formulas and steps by heart? Please kindly advise. Thanks
Check out my Excel series :)
How much time would it take to complete the course with 4-5 hrs everyday? I've already completed google data analytics course.
What about the Meta social media marketing professional certificate? I’m taking it but what do you think about it?
thanks for the video! Could you please give me a hint? I am currently working as a seo specialist and I have a desire to develop further in marketing to eventually come to marketing operations. Is this course going to help me get closer to that goal or should I just take a digital marketing course?
Hey Alex, Thanks for the info as always.
Being from such a large and well-known company I wonder if they will update the course or keep it more META specific.
Sir can i take this along with the Google data analytics one ? my goal is to become market research analyst.
Thanks for the video Alex - would you say your video on best courses for data analysis from earlier this year is still up to date or would you add any other course there?
@olveyn very valid question
Yes, the one from this year is still up to date :)
Do I need to know about coding to learn this course? I mean what if I have no knowledge right off the bat?
Hello,
I am from Bangladesh. anyway, I would like to know if I did IBM Data analytics certification then I could pass meta marketing analytics certification exam.
If so I will opt for IBM Data analytics certification.
Please tell me about it
Sir now I am pursuing integrated mtech 5 years course specialization in data science now I completed 3rd can you please say how to and how much I need to prepare to get decent job as fresher in data science sector because there are vast number of topics I am very confused like upto how many concepts I need to cover as a fresher to get decent job in data science sector
Why you do my girl Anke like that lol? Honestly she kept me into it but yeah i feel you man thanks for the vid ✊🏽
please make review about the update since they add 2 course into it with python course
I am close to finish the Google Data Analytics professional course, so what's your recommend for this course? Do I need to do this or not necessary?
I mean if you've already taken the Google DA Cert I wouldn't take this whole course. I would maybe do Course #4.
most of the meta certifications are not yet done, just start on January,
Thanks for this, Alex! I feel like Marketing Analytics is a hugely underserved domain, considering what a staggering amount of money is involved.
Also because that's where I work, and it hurts my feelings that more attention is not paid... 🤣
I'm working through the Google Digital Marketing course, which is fascinating but not super Analytics-focused.
Yeah I've seen a few marketing courses lately that look pretty interesting!
@@AlexTheAnalyst it was cool to see that they had an entire course on MTA and MMM. I might go straight for that one - that's what my work section does.
Can you please elaborate on how to get into first Marketing analytics job?
They have updated this certificate since your last review. They've added a dedicated SQL and Python course
A Facebook data center is 5 miles from where I live, I think this would be nice if it helped people to get hired.
Yea, the guy (your doppelganger) at 10:05, looks like he's recording his manifesto. 🤷🏾♀️🤣🤣
lol
Nice review. Are you done with the google challenges ? Btw I also got the same link upon completion of the course.
I'm not done yet - haven't failed it so I'm still going lol
@@AlexTheAnalyst Great. Good luck with that. 👍
how long does it takes to do this course? and can you do it in a short amount of time? meaning, if it takes like 3 months, can you do it in a few days instead?
Did you get an asnwer yet?
Alex, i did all and passed first five courses. The last one I did not do as the course was NOT launched yet and not worth paying USD49 for continue.
Yeah the data grading really a low blow
I liked you comment about the man at the basement 🤣🤣
But it's true though :D
Can u plz review my assignments
This is my first comment on here… I hope you see it😅… What do you think of creating a Discord server for your Data Analyst community maybe potentially help some of your community members build a type of connection in the data world? I know it won’t be easy with your schedule and all but please think about it❤️💯
Haha I do have a discord :) Check out my YT homepage for the link in the banner
The doppelgänger comment !😂😂😂
Thank you for the review Alex. But I wouldn’t touch anything that comes out of Meta. Their massive corruption and lack of ethics really disvalue the reputation of their “certified exams” and may even hurt your resume. There is a reason why they ditched their Facebook name. Besides, it is better to go for more technical certs offered by actual colleges, better experience and knowledge.
I don't disagree with that
What technical certs offered by colleges do you recommend that are similar to this & Google Analaytics?
Thank you for your comment. I was initially considering taking that certificate until I found out it is issued by Meta Platforms. Your input has helped me make my decision. I will continue to search for other marketing analytics certificates.
I took his course and I share the same sentiment about the course being a bit boring and the support for the data analytics course was poor after running into a grading issue
Glad I wasn't the only one! haha
I agree. It looks pretty basic. As someone learning Python, I wouldn't go for it.
Also Alex, you can always increase the playspeed of the videos. Saves times.
Finally, I hope those Meta lectures don't come after you for your honesty 😂🤣😂
Haha they'll never stop me...
Boy all that negativity and you gave it a 6? Based on your underwhelmed analysis, you should have given it a 3 or 4.
Thanks for your review of this course!
There's still a lot of good material in there and it wasn't all bad - definitely not perfect though so I think a 6 is fairly accurate from my perspective.
Best for ads
To be honest data camp is better. ❤
He forgot it was marketing analytics not data analytics.
New Meta courses here: www.coursera.org/meta-professional-certificates
Did you complete the exam at the end? Do you think the certificate is useful ?I’m not sure if I can finish in short term as US $49 is too much to continue…..
@@iloilooliable I just audit. Meta Database will be extra practice but no Data and AI courses
This review was not helpful. It had your personal biases all over it
very arrogant and full of personal biases all over it.
