Data Analytics (Short Course)

I took a course called Data Analysis where i learned how to analysis data with excel, SQL and Tableau. I really liked Elise, my instructor. She was very knowledgeable and can explain concepts really well. I highly recommend this class and the instructor as well. The only draw back is this course is 10 weeks long and meets twice a week for 2 hours which is not a lot of time to learn a lot of materials so every class we were going with a pretty fast speed. 

Prasanth was the bomb! Super consistent, patient, and supportive.  There was so much information stuffed into 10 weeks, and he helped adjust the pace of the course as time went on. Additionally, I learned a lot being with different classmates who had various strengths. GA curriculum was easy to follow and clear with no surprises - I rated it 4/5 mainly because I wish we spent more time on SQL and less time on the tableau segment. Highly recommend this class.

Happy with the course, the instructor and assistants were very available and flexible with us, which was key given that the course was part time so life often got in the way of submitting projects on time. The contents of the course focus on the core skills needed for data analytics in excel, tableau and SQL. It can feel hard to keep up with the course at times but if you make sure you have the time and do your studying everything if fine. The skills learnt are 100% useful the instructors recommendations about what skills are really useful in the world of work is important since all of them also work in data. If I had to criticize something it would be the fact that python and its applications in data analytics was not covered, some employers ask for this skill. But given the duration of this course I would not say this is a major criticism at all. Overall happy with the course and would recommend.

I am satisfied with the depth of the content, the quality of the teaching (Chris was fantastic!) and GA overall (platforms and UI). However, in my opinion, this course is overpriced. The course costs £2,800 and I did the 40 hours intensive course completed in 6 days. I paid in three instalments which helped, but I believe this course would be better priced at £2,000. I am happy to have enrolled on this course. However, in my humble opinion, this didn't seem good value for money.

The instructors are professional and supportive, I took 10 weeks data analytics course which is intensive, but is also informative and well organized. The course is suitable for full time workers who have interests in data analysis and want to acquire  Excel, SQL, and Tableau skills.

This GA course was a comprehensive and practice-based overview of Excel, SQL, and Tableau. It was immediately applicable to my work, and it was so valuable to learn these skills in a class context, with instructors willing to answer questions and provide support. I wish we'd allocated a little more time to SQL.

The course is very thorough and thoughtful on how to teach students what data analytics is and how to use differernt tools to solve each type of real life problems.I found it very hands on and being able to get feedback from instructors also made it that much better for improvement!Def recommend! 

I have always been interested in learning more about data analysis, but finding a suitable program was a challenge. I was recommended to attend a series of webinars held by GA to learn the difference between data science and analytics. After the sessions, I was able to pin down the program choice. I then was able to easily connect with an advisor from GA who made himself accessible to share as much information on the program, process, and fees (smooth). He took the time to learn about my goals and motivation to enroll in the program, he then shared advice on the most suitable course format to match my learning style. Great enrollment journey!The instructor and support staff were very accomodating and gave us time, and made us feel welcomed. More importantly, they were patient with the class knowing that many have been out of school for a while. The content was spot on what was mentioned in the description, industry-related skills that you can pick up or polish as you go (what you see is what you get). Challenging, frustrating at times, but the instructor and staff helped us push through. Always providing feedback on what went well and what to improve on. The course carried 3 projects which continuously push you to learn and practice what you learn in class. It was more learning a skill VS GA helping/supporting you with career opportunities. Surely it would have been amazing to have 1-1 chats with a coach/career counselor on how to tackle the potential employers in a certain location etc. Maybe this would be feedback for GA. I am looking forward to learning more about GA Alumni community and the kind of continuous learning opportunities. The course wasn't the cheapest,  I wasn't company-sponsored so it was a decent investment. GA helped by offering an installment plan, but I wish they would consider individual students and offer them some sort of price reduction during uncertain times. Other than that I would strongly recommend GA and the DA course. 

I enjoyed the online course at General Assembly. The instructor was fantastic! It was a wonderful learning experience, where I have learned a lot of data analytics skills. I feel this is a valuable course and allows me to grasp how data analytics can be. I certainly have much more to learn in this field and look forward to doing so. We received a Certificate of Course Completion right one week after the course was complete, which is super efficient! 

The part-time Data Analytics program at General Assembly gives students a deeper dive into data analytics using tools such as Excel, SQL, and Tableau. I enrolled in the Data Analytics part-time course at General Assembly's Boston location. The instructor and TA were incredibly approachable, and the enrollment process was seamless. One qualm I had was the instructor could have had better public speaking skills; the instructor spoke very softly and did not seem confident at times in the subject matter. The TA did a better job, in my opinion, of presenting the information. The GA platform was also very easy to use, and I was able to access my coursework/projects with no issues. I also enjoyed having a Slack group to communicate with the instructor/TA and peers. This came in very handy when we were working on group projects. 

I've just completed the 10-week part-time course in Data Analytics and found the experience to be highly valuable.

As virtually a total beginner in Excel, SQL and Tableau prior to the course, I found the material and the pace of learning to be quite challenging and demanding. However, provided you are able to allocate the required time outside the classroom teaching and commit yourself to learning the content, the pace of study leads to the acquisition of a wide range of skills in a relatively short period of time.

The course material provided isn't perfect, which sometimes requires a degree of independent problem-solving and perserverence, but that in itself can be quite useful when it comes to utilising the skills being learnt week-to-week.

I found our teacher and teaching assistant to be extremely helpful and dedicated to helping the class and individuals follow the material and reach their potential.

Overall, I would highly recommend General Assembly and the Data Analytics course, provided you have adequate time in your week to dedicate the hours required. I was in-between jobs when I did the course and would have found it difficult to get as much out of the experience as I did had I also been working full-time. 

I took the Data Analytics course with GA in the Summer of 2018, and loved it. I had already had quite a bit of Excel experience before I took the course, so I was a bit nervous that it would be repetitive - it wasn't. We dove into Excel much deeper than I had before, which provided an immediate boost at my current role. Then we learned SQL and Tableau and other ways to communicate and visualize data. Lots of hands on practice in class as well as homework in class. I now feel my confident in my ability using data tools, and know what I hope to learn from here. Thanks GA!

I had an incredible experience in David Bickham's 1-week Data Analytics course. This course had the same curriculum as the full 10-week course and I loved being able to get so much content in that 1-week structure. David was an incredible instuctor who brought so many real world examples into the course. He made sure every single student was truly comprehending the course work. We had a nice small class size and it was really fun to get to see everyone's final projects because we really learned a ton. I used a data set from my work and was actually able to use my final project for my job. I highly recomment taking the Data Analytics course and was really happy with the depth of the curriculum and the instruction. Being a block from the beach was a pretty amazing location also.
