Option 1 : Get Dollar card from any bank. I am sure it will work. You can't make Dollar payment using Naira Debit cards anymore.

Option 2 : Look for how to get scholarship to enable you do courses in Coursera.

Option 3 : IF the certificate is not important to you, You are just interested in the knowledge and entire materials. You can private chat me and I share it with you.

Good day sir/ma i am interested in the materials. My Gmail is unitybibinu@gmail.com. thanks

The problem is not the certificate. They are very good. The honest question you should ask yourself is: if I am given a dataset now, can I derive meaningful insight from the data? How many tools can I conveniently use to find solutions to my data problems?.

Your answers to these questions will determine whether you will find work or not.

Hello guys.
I stumbled on this thread yesterday.
I am a data analyst. Did the Google analytic course on coursera. I also joined entry level 1 and 2 for additional hands on practical. I'm very good with SQL, excel and not too good with R. I use Tableau for visualisation.

Here's the thing
I haven't been able to land a job yet. I've been applying on upwork. It seems no one wants a data analyst with a less than 2 to 5 years experience 😕.

What do I do? Where else can I apply and get a job?
I want to skill up by adding python and also becoming a data scientist ( please suggest a good tutor either paid or free).

Sometimes I feel so down as if my knowledge could be a waste.
Where did you register for this please

Now that you have asked, let me give you some guide.
You will need to honestly respond to the following questions

Question 1: Which industry do you hope to practice as a data analyst or scientist? You will need to select either one or two industries.
examples are Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, Health Care, Social Media, and Customer Relations etc.

Question 2 : Do you know the top 15 KPIs that govern that industry? and how to determine them using the tools of your choice.

Question 3: Looking at the Tools: Do you know the types of references used in Excel and their business use cases? How many aggregate functions can you use in Excel and their business use cases? How many data cleaning functions do you know about in Excel and their business use cases?. You need to know how to solve business problems because you will work in a business environment.

The same questions will apply to most of the tools we use in data analytics.

Unfortunately, there are no courses, to the best of my knowledge, that can extract that information and give it to you.

My Personal Recommendations:

1) Choose an industry and get a dataset for that industry. Find out the top 10 or 15 KPIs used in that industry and how they are calculated mathematically. Determine those KPIs using your dataset. You can now proceed to build a dashboard using that dataset and the KPIs.
Repeat the process with a different dataset until you are confident and comfortable.

Example: The most important KPI for sales is total revenue; others are sales by region or state; sales by sales manager or representative.

I hope it helps you.
!!! Shalom!!!

Please i need clarification.

If i get a job (maybe an Upwork or Fiverr one off job) that requires the use of cloud based services like Power BI Service, is it my responsibility to pay for the subscription?

Thank you for your anticipated responses.

The answers are yes and no.

During your negotiation and discussion, the first thing you do is ask if the person has a cloud service provider account.
If yes, tell him or her to give you access to do his or her work.

If not, tell him or her you will charge for a subscription.

Please cross-check very carefully the exact resources and amount of time needed for the task so you can charge appropriately.
