Data Analyst

Great program.Matched my expectations pretty much.Specially me being an X-programmer and in the same time senior expert statistician and data analyst using powerful, yet traditional statistical packages and who was eager to learn such a wonderful data analysis programming language.I even wish I had started this many years ago....I find the program tailored in a very efficient manner.The only thing such wonderful and powerful Diploma needs is to be longer than 8 weeks to allow students like me who are busy with their work.Otherwise I love it and admire it so much.The educational platform and environment are so amazing.They are user friendly, so well planned and simplify the subjects, hence easily digested.The syllabus covers all whatever needed for those who'd like to continue in the data analysis field.I really appreciate your efforts and giving us such wonderful opportunity.Big THANKs 

Excellent as much my expectations, Thanks so much.

Good Way to start your data analysis learning from zeroto hero

It is very helpful, organized, practical and I have gained new valuable skills

I am enjoying learning with Udacity because the program is walking step by step and not boring. I really learned more things and i am motivated to learn more and more

It is really well organized and to the point which makes it useful for quick use in work. 

 it is really exciting to apply what you have learnt 

The best of Udacity Data Analysis Nanodegree so far is the hands-on practice with real-world problems. The review of the project was made by a professional, focused, and expert reviewer that stated exactly what to be carried to improve it. I was very delighted with this experience made me more motivated to go further.

I've just passed the data analysis challenger track and currently taking the data analysis professional track. The methods they use especially all the quizez, practices and projects on every step gives you a deep understanding of the content. The instructors are great. It's been a very educating experience. Thanks all. Wish you all the best.

I enjoyed this Nano-degree experience This is a wonderful program that has given me new skills that are applicable in the marketplace. Now, I can use these projects in my profile. I've found it to be extremely challenging and it's a great program for someone who wants to be data analyst in a world now flooded with data.

This program is going so well until now. I came across various new things which I never learnt before. I was planing to do this course from other course providers but I knew that Udacity open up an ocean of knowledge with every single lesson. So that I chose this course and feel lucky to learn different skills through it.

 The program is detailed and practical intensive. It eliminates any attempt geared towards procrastination because practical exercises follow theoretical and practical explanations. The course contents are created in a simple and concise manner.. It has exceeded my expectation, you will love it! 

A concise explanation to various areas of study which exceeded my expectations. Never thought that online learning can be as effective as this nanodegree 

Last year I graduated from Udacity Data Analyst Nanodegree program. The course was complete and contained all the information I needed to learn to make me a better data analyst. The instructors and mentors were also knowledgeable about the material.

It was a nice overall experience of studying from such awesome materials and resourceful courses

what I liked most about Udacity is the challenging project, it's kind of using all that I have learned in one place,

and I applied to even use more than that in the projects especially in the beginning of learning a new skill, the project is really kept in handy.

what I also like most how the quizzes helping us to practice and demonstrate the ideas, even when the concepts begin to get a little harder! or just so new to me.

also, the quality of videos is really high, well tailed for the subject.

Hello Everyone,

As a recent graduate of the Udacity Nano degree program I wanted to outline a brief review of the key elements that will help you decide to take this program or not depending on your knowledge needs.

First of all, this program is talking generally about Data gathering, extraction and visualiztions with the help of some programming languages and here are some of its top topics details:

-you will learn SQL starting with basic querying to very advanced quering that will give you the ability to deal with huge amount of data including the concepts of joining tables and selecting specific carteria.

-when it comes to data Python is one of the leading programming languages in data analysis, which you will be using to read CSV files and make your analysis with the help of the libraries (Pandas, Numpy, matplotlib and more)

-Statistics is an essential element in data analysis which you will be learn from absolute beginning like how to get (mean, median and standard deviation) to how to make very large simulations and sampling using python.

-R programming langauge is an easy way to conduct complex statistics on your data with simple code as well as great visualiztion and that what you will be learning at some point in this program.

-Business Inteliginous tools are great fit to build better data visualiztions for your data, this is why Tableau is including on this program to better assest you have full knowledge of using such tools.

-tools you going to use (Jupyter notebook, Anaconda, Rstudio, Excel and others)

Secondly, which I condsider as the most important part is practicing on real world projects, This program has 8 projects that you will have to finish according to the rubric of each project requirement in order to graduate and take your certification.

Why take this program?

Take this program if you want to learn about:

-SQL 

-Python programing for data analysis

-R programing for data analysis

-Statistics

-Tableau

-API integeration

-Data extraction

-Data Scraping

-Data Wrangling

-Data Cleaning

-Data Assessing

What type of companies will I use this program in?

Almost all companies that has any sort of data requires some data analysis skills including but not limited to

-Medical companies

-Finance companies

-ecommerce website

-Retail industry

-Hospitals

-Schools

-Factors

-Research

-B2B or B2C company/website

Is there any prequists before I join this program?

-there is nearly no prequists for this program since it starts with you from the absloute beginning but I would recommend that you have the potential to search and ask for any part you don't understandf well.

Will I find support if I couldn't understand something?

The Udacity Platform consists of a big forum in which you can ask your colleagues as well as mentors who are always available to answer your questions as soon as possible.

Overall writer review:

-My evaluation for this program as someone who were always searching to get deeper in the field of data analysis is this program is a very good start, it takes you from zero to hero in all tracks of data analysis which will give you the opportunity to apply directly to jobs as a junior data analyst showing them 8 of great projects worth of knowledge and practice that will prove your skills anywhere.

The Data Analyst Nanodegree taught me a lot about the field of data analytics.  It gave me the opportunity to get hands-on experience by working on various projects.

Hello!

I am a 25 years old Civil Engineering Graduate, I worked for a little more than a year and I did not like my job at the time, and I was applying for a Scholarship launched with a partnership with Udacity and it was the first time I ever heard of the Data Analyst, Data Science or the Data Domain in general, so I looked up the field and I was hooked immediately, I was a bit into programming when I was doing my bachelors in Civil Engineering so I did not find a lot of a hard time learning Python, which is a part of the Data Analyst Nanodegree, although Python was absolutely new to me and I learned it all as a part of the Nanodegree since you don't really need any perquisites!

The program overall was great, the content is amazingly dense and concise, the instructors are really friendly so you do not get bored from hours of lectures and exercises. In addition, needing to complete 4 full projects from A to Z really gives you confidence in your skills and makes you prepare something you can show to your employer!

As for my future plans, I still need to improve my Machine Learning and Deep Learning skills in order to take a full grasp of the Data Science field curriculum wise, so I am currently a part of the Bertelsmann Tech Scholarship Phase 1 in the AI (Deep Learning) Track, as for the Machine Learning part of the endeavor, Udacity has a free course on Spark to actually apply Machine Learning of Big Data!

I really do recommend Udacity if you are planning a career shift or developing your skills in general.

By the way, I have an interview with an employer this Monday for a BI/Data Science Position, which me luck! and good luck to you all in your future endeavors!

I have completed a Data Analyst Nanodegree course offered by Udacity. It was a 6 month long course. The course starts with very basic Python and gradually increases the difficulty level to deep dive into Data Wrangling, EDA etc. It's a good starting point if you want to continue the journey to learn Machine Learning. 

Solid program with great instructors!
