Google 數據分析專家證書 要花多久上完?

 

簡介

Google 數據分析專家證書總共有8個課程(course)

每個課程以好幾週進行(week)

比方說第一個課程有五週 (week 1 - week 5),每週時間照課程安排預計是3-4小時,也就是說完成全部第一週的內容要花20小時

以兼職念書是可以接受的範圍

心得分享

我在今天上完google 數據分析專家證書的第一個課程(course),來分享真實上課時間

我認為,第一階段課程屬於入門,主要介紹數據分析的常見名詞、常見流程、常用工具,比較多初步概念講解,和數據分析師職位的人經驗談。每週都有5-8題小測驗(單選或複選)

因為真正花費時間因個人原先對數據分析的了解、和英文掌握度的不同而不同,因此屬於個人感受不一定適合其他使用者

個人背景

先說我個人程度,我已做數據分析工作3年左右,使用EXCEL, R, SPSS, SAS都有經驗


英文對於美式英文教學課程,可以不用字幕聽懂70-80% ,但影集電影不行

在還沒上課前,我先嘗試week1-2小測驗,而且直接過關(80分以上算過關,如果沒過關,每8小時內可以嘗試3次)。因此,我認為自己是可以快速的瀏覽課程內容跟影片。

我採用的策略如下:

上課策略

課程英文影片都直接快速倍速撥放,搭配英文逐字稿跟google 網頁翻譯用中文看

文章部分用google翻譯看中文先看大意,真有要細看的再開英文

結論


花費時間約莫4小時,完成過後看見這個畫面(中文是因為網頁翻譯)




覺得很愉快,而下一週的課程也enroll成功了,即將往下一個課程邁進~在回來跟你們分享上課時間囉!

第一題: Why are you applying for Financial Aid? 
範例1

Dear reviewers,

I was graduated from XXXX  University in Taiwan with a student loan. I'm unemployed since April 2021 due to COVID-19. Without a stable income, I can only live on my little deposit, and that is why I currently can not afford the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate course. It is hard for me to find financial support from my family. My family members, my father, served as a driver in an iron factory, and my mother is a housewife. They can only make ends meet on their own and have no more monetary resources for me to study.

However, I really want to change my career path from administrative assistant to Data Analytics professional to pursue a more stable and upgrading career path. To do so, I have to start it as soon as possible. What is more, It requires abundant time, so I don't want any part-time job to distract me from learning the necessary knowledge of how to analyze data.

I believe Coursera is a perfect platform for poor but ambitious people like me to change career paths, and this course can help me earn up-to-date knowledge and skills and help me get a job.  I look forward to having this precious opportunity. Thank you very much.


範例2
To Whom It May Concern, 

My name is XXX, and I have been unemployed since April 2021 due to the pandemic. For now it is hard for me to afford the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate course since I live on a limited deposit. However, I desperately want to change my career path from an entry-level administrative assistant to advanced Data Analytics professional to pursue a more promising career path. It is important for me to start it as soon as possible. Since it requires a lot of time, I try to avoid any part-time job to distract me from learning the knowledge of how to analyze data. 

I think Coursera is a perfect platform for poor but ambitious people like me who want to change career paths. This course, Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate, can help me earn up-to-date knowledge and skills and help me get a job. I look forward to having this precious opportunity for your support. Thank you very much.



第二題: How will taking this course help you achieve your career goals?
範例1
Dear reviewers,

I previously served as a contracted research assistant in Health Science (填簡單自介). Because it was a temporary position, it is hard for me to accumulate professional abilities as an expert in my research institution. Moreover, without a PhD degree, it would limit my future job options. As a result, I want to change my career path into data science to pursue a more stable and upgrading career path as Data Analytics professional.

The Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate provides me an invaluable opportunity to learn job-ready skills in a short period, which is exactly what I need now. I plan to complete the course quickly with high-quality study performance and do my best to get the certificate. Equipped with in-demand knowledge and skills, It is my belief that I can achieve my goal of getting a position in Data Science before XXXX (填預期修完課程的時間). I am very grateful appreciated if being giving the chance. Look forward to having this precious opportunity. Thank you for your consideration.


範例2
To Whom It May Concern, 

This course will help my career goals because it will help me change my career path to a more stable position. Previously, I served as a contracted research assistant in Health Science. The job is based on the project budget, so I lose my job when the project ended. It is hard for me to accumulate professional abilities in such a position. Although I love research, this job cannot help me develop a long-term career. As a result, I decide to change my career path into data science to pursue a more promising career path as Data Analytics professional.

The Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate provides me a unique opportunity to learn statistical skills in only half a year, which is exactly what I need for transferring from an assistant to a professional. I plan to finish the courses quickly and get the certificate. After getting the certificate, I can demonstrate my in-demand knowledge and skills in an interview for the Data Analyst position. I am confident that I can achieve my goal in the near future. I am thankful if being giving the chance to take this course. I appreciate your consideration.

底下要選是否願意貸款,選YES就不必填內容,NO要填原因
我都勾選YES 就不必填寫這題,(目前)系統也不會跳出選項要我貸款

第四步、完成送出

完成送出後,會看到以下此畫面,寫明幾月幾號之前會通知你申請結果,有通過會繼email到你帳號的信箱,通過就可以立即開始上課~是不是很簡單呢?
