Upskill your employees to excel in the digital economy
Organizations of all types and sizes have business processes that generate massive volumes of data. Every moment, all sorts of information gets created by computers, the internet, phones, texts, streaming video, photographs, sensors, and much more. In the global digital landscape, data is increasingly imprecise, chaotic, and unstructured. As the speed and variety of data increases exponentially, organizations are struggling to keep pace.
Data science and advanced data analytics are part of a field of study that uses raw data to create new ways of modeling and understanding the unknown. To gain insights, businesses rely on data professionals to acquire, organize, and interpret data, which helps inform internal projects and processes. Data scientists and advanced data analysts rely on a combination of critical skills, including statistics, scientific methods, data analysis, and artificial intelligence.
A data professional is a term used to describe any individual who works with data and/or has data skills. At a minimum, a data professional is capable of exploring, cleaning, selecting, analyzing, and visualizing data. They may also be comfortable with writing code and have some familiarity with the techniques used by statisticians and machine learning engineers, including building models, developing algorithmic thinking, and building machine learning models.
Data professionals are responsible for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting large amounts of data within a variety of different organizations. The role of a data professional is defined differently across companies. Generally speaking, data professionals possess technical and strategic capabilities that require more advanced analytical skills such as data manipulation, experimental design, predictive modeling, and machine learning. They perform a variety of tasks related to gathering, structuring, interpreting, monitoring, and reporting data in accessible formats, enabling stakeholders to understand and use data effectively. Ultimately, the work of data professionals helps organizations make informed, ethical decisions.
Large volumes of data — and the technology needed to manage and analyze it — are becoming increasingly accessible. Because of this, there has been a surge in career opportunities for people who can tell stories using data, such as senior data analysts and data scientists. These professionals collect, analyze, and interpret large amounts of data within a variety of different organizations. Their responsibilities require advanced analytical skills such as data manipulation, experimental design, predictive modeling, and machine learning.
The Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate on Coursera is designed to prepare learners for roles as entry-level data scientists and advanced-level data analysts.
During this certificate program, you’ll gain knowledge of tools and platforms like Jupyter Notebook, Kaggle, Python, Stack Overflow, and Tableau.
This certificate program assumes prior knowledge of foundational analytical principles, skills, and tools. To succeed in this certificate program, you should already know about key foundational aspects of data analysis, such as the data analysis process and data life cycle, databases and general database elements, programming language basics, and project stakeholders.
The content in this certificate program builds upon data analytics concepts taught in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. These include key foundational aspects of data analysis such as the data analysis process and data life cycle, databases and general database elements such as primary and foreign keys, SQL and programming language basics, and project stakeholders. If you haven’t completed that program or if you’re unsure whether you have the necessary prerequisites, you can take an ungraded assessment in Course 1 Module 1 of this certificate to evaluate your readiness.
You’ll learn job-ready skills through interactive content — like activities, quizzes, and discussion prompts — in under six months, with less than 10 hours of flexible study a week. Along the way, you’ll work through a curriculum designed by Google employees who work in the field, with input from top employers and industry leaders. You’ll even have the opportunity to complete end-of-course projects and a final capstone project that you can share with potential employers to showcase your data analysis skills. After you’ve graduated from the program, you’ll have access to career resources and be connected directly with employers hiring for open entry-level roles in data science and advanced roles in data analytics.
We highly recommend completing the seven courses in the order presented because the content in each course builds on information covered in earlier lessons.
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
