The Google Data Analytics Certificate covers data foundations, spreadsheets, SQL, R programming, and data visualisation across eight courses (free audit via Coursera). Complete the first three courses. Then demonstrate practical spreadsheet competence by analysing a real public dataset — not the certificate's teaching datasets.
Proof required
Submit: (a) completion badges or screenshots from the first three certificate courses, and (b) a spreadsheet analysis on a real public dataset demonstrating: data cleaning (at least 3 data quality issues identified and resolved), pivot tables summarising by at least 2 dimensions, at least 2 charts with axis labels and interpretive titles, and a 300-word written summary of what the analysis revealed.
What gets checked
- Dataset is real and publicly available — not a certificate teaching dataset
- Data cleaning is documented — what issues were found and what action was taken
- Charts have interpretive titles that state the finding, not just describe the data axis
