Course 2 includes hands-on labs with Looker to build skills in both data analysis and visualization. In the first lab, learners work with dimensions, measures, filters, and pivots to query, select, and visualize data in Looker using Explores. In the second lab, learners use table calculations and offsets to instantaneously create new metrics from data using Explores.
Course 3 includes hands-on labs focused on building LookML skills to curate data experiences for business users.
