CourseCareers Data Analytics Course: what it covers, what it costs and the fine print
The CourseCareers Data Analytics Course is a self-paced online course for beginners with no degree or experience who want to learn Excel, Tableau, SQL and Python.
It costs $499 up front or four payments of $150 every two weeks, and CourseCareers says graduates often finish in 8 to 14 weeks.
The course ends with a proctored final exam and a certificate of completion from CourseCareers, followed by a job-search section. You will need a Windows or Mac computer and a paid desktop version of Excel.
This is an independent guide and is not affiliated with CourseCareers. CourseCareers' pages include job and salary figures. Those are the company's own marketing claims, which we could not verify, and its terms say it cannot guarantee that a student will get a job.
