Full 1 year , I was stopping and starting in btw the 1 year ... a good bet for entry role would be to take the google data analytics course on coursera

Thank you. I just checked out the course, unlike udemy I guess one loses access to the course after the specified number of months? I saw the subscription fee differ based on the month. So if I subscribe for 3months does this mean I'll lose access to the course after 3month?

Not sure about the courses disappearing but I ran thru it in 2 months, and their were options for you to download the video tutorials. The tutorial covers R, excel and Sql teaching which is enough to give you an entry data analyst role .

Yeah...infact been seeing other offers sef

Hinokami:
Wow....wait you mean to say you got a job from self learning in the UK

Thanks a lot. I intend going for the 3 month package but scared I might not finish up within that period since I currently work 8-5. Or is there another way to enroll for the course aside this

God this is just amazing.

What am I doing wrong.. Excel knowledge that is just laying dormant in my head people are getting offers for it.

Please what do I need to do different. I'm begging you

Im still an entry level data analyst so I don't know it all, just practice practice if possible everyday if possible.
Then pick up a certification, that will boost up your chances. Then start applying like mad. Got over 50 rejection till one clicked . Watch a lot of YouTube interview training also cos it seems their interview questions and answers formats is quite different from 9ja .

Depends on you, you have to find a pattern that fits your schedule. I was doing uber from 8am-4pm everyday and was reading 4am -7am everyday(3hrs ). So find something that works for you. I stopped waking 4am some few months back cos of the winter, but once spring come I will resume 4am back use that time to learn python .

I guess its only certification I don't have.

I am already quite proficient, probably I don't have enough exposure online to be seen by recruiters.

Yeah, Microsoft DA-100 and maybe an excel certification should be enough for starters . I have an MCSA and excel certification with over 8 online course certification from udemy

If you finished with this schedule in 2 months then I should be able to. Will get the course by month end. Thanks

It'll be nice if you can share your job application and interview process

could you please assist a 'total novice' who has just fallen in love with (and ready to transition to) data analysis on what to do and how to go about it to attain something great in the career path......however, financially incapable for huge data downloads. thanks

It just occurred to me to trace this thread and show appreciation.. this thread contributed to my ginger to read and practice more on data analysis.. relocated December and currently working as an analyst in uk... everything I learnt was from self research, youtube + udemy + google while still running uber during the day time in Lagos, so for guys out there fill overwhelmed with much to read NEVER GIVE UP OOOO.... XOXO

my Goodness, you dont joke around.

Chances of getting a job? Truth is, I can’t really tell you, I started this journey last year April, somehow I think I may be ready for job, but yet have never put in for any.. taking my time to build by portfolio maybe till end of March before I started putting in. Though, a lot of negative and positive opinion online about getting job as data scientist but what I always tell myself is No work is easy to come by.. the world is saturated, arguably!.. But having that skill make you a step ahead... When are good in it and with patient God will unfold better things.

With your gender and your background, you have an upper hand... just give yourself range of time and decide on what to learn.. but please note You can’t learn data science within 6 month as been advertised online.. not because it too hard but there are many things to learn. Excel, sql. Power bi, Tableau, Python, machine learning, deep learning and so on

I will suggest you go for data analysis maybe with vision of becoming Data scientist afterward, with vigorous learning I bet you will be ready within six months

If you want to go for data analysis, just focus on excel, power bi/tableau and MySQL

About where to learn, I can’t really say, maybe other people can make a suggestion for you.

What material have you gotten so far and what is your experience learning?

Thanks bro. I am rounding up data analysis in excel. Got my materials from utube. Is the next step power BI or Tableau? . I would prefer power BI. Is it power BI and Tableau? Does one substitute the other
.

Good day sir.
am a secondary school graduate aspiring to study economics and development studies at the uni.i have been admitted and am yet to resume.we have a PC at home which we use for different things.

my question is,as a social science student,can i learn data science/analysis?
am 16 years old sir.

Hello. Do you have any material/video on the Power Bi? The ones I have been watching aren't really engaging.

Something like Excelisfun ... Any recommendation?

wisdomremz:
already started my journey into data science, prior before now I had a mentor(my cousin) who is a data scientist in Australia who talked extensively on data science and gave various tools necessary. So I brushed through excel by taking some course like analysing data using excel and other courses on Edx(videos) then currently learning sql using sql server express learnt basics using w3schools and sqlzoo which am done, practicing using ssms and sample database like(adventureworks and northwind) so refreshing. Also I have some PDFs book having questions and problem from beginner to advance on the sample database listed, once am done I will also take some courses on edX. Afterwards would move into python and other tools.


just wanted to share my journey for the past one month. thanks Ejiod and other contributors.

if you are also on this journey into the world of data science quote me, let's relate �

Please bro, help me; I want to go into data science. I need I go on learning platforms or free tutorials or ebooks

Please where can I register to take my classes?

Omo, Biko I am in. How I want start the learning, mbok?

Are you familiar with excel before moving to power bi? It will be a lot easier that way, I think. But nevertheless you can study power bi if that’s what you want...

You can search Simplylearn powerbi on YouTube.. the team did a video of about 6 hours long.. it can take your from zero to hero... also if you need material. You can find material on guru.com, javatpoint.com or tutorialpoint.com, simply type powerbi and name of any these Site on google

Did you watch all the updated video on excelisfun?

My laziness had made me to stop at excel

I may take a course on data analyst on Siit

Hello,
Am new here, i recently started learning System Testing (still self-learning). I have been very fascinated with Data analysis, make i no lie basically because of the PAY . so nice to see such forum here online.

Please if there are enthusiast like me, especially the new ones who are based in Lagos/environs like me, lets form a roundtable and maybe read, discuss together, possibly find a tutor, stuffs like that you know.
I do believe in like minds communicating, it keeps the spirit burning and help each other to the top.

Truth is, we are fighting poverty not a race on who will be the best.

We can form a telegram/ WhatsApp group - write me lets start +234 080 80 622 466

Hi everyone,

So I actually have an interview on Monday. I am applying for the role of a Data analyst/Scientist. Please can anyone who is experienced in that field or an HR here tell me the kind of questions to expect. I will really be grateful. Thank you.
