If you wonder how GA Data Analytics course compared to TAFE and Master of IT, or self-leaning: I happened to have a chance to undertake all four in different ways almost simultaneously. I can responsibly tell you that GA is superb among all. TAFE is probably... Read More not even as good as watching online videos - its public education, but it will grant you free LinkedIn Learning account, so I can also tell you for sure that what GA taught is at least one level deeper than those online videos - after watching them you will feel have learned something but actually, you really don't know. I watch them AFTER GA's daily course and they are good supplements. I'm also a part-time tutor and happen to have a student who moved on to UON's Master of IT in Business Analytics right after I finished GA, and I had a careful look at what and how they teach - same content, but very academic with minimum guidance, so they will leave you totally on your own assuming you already know everything. Without learning at GA I would have no idea what the subjects were talking about to assist that uni student. From my research and experience with different providers stated above, GA is the only ‘’whole-journey nanny style' training provider for someone who knows nothing about data analytics. The course is very intensive - I had to catch up a bit by watching online videos, and 8 hours a day is physically demanding even though I regard myself as a veteran learner. But that means it is worth the money too.

The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. They encouraged us to do our own research and to not be afraid to break the code. I became friends with the other students and we worked on deliverables together in groups whenever possible. This is a... Read More great place to start learning about Software Engineering. There was a lot of information crammed into a short period of time, but the lectures are available to view later on.

Pros: 1. Cheaper and Quicker Than a College Degree 2. Practical (Hands-On) Curriculum 3. amazing instructor 4. great content CONS 1. Too Fast to Keep Up 2.Sometimes A Degree is Still King in finding a job 3. Narrow Focus- you have to take other courses... Read More from other websites like udemy to learn more.

I completed the part-time 10-week Product Management course with GA remotely from Melbourne. I thoroughly enjoyed the coursework and especially valued the opportunity to book in time to speak with the instructors and pick their brains. I found the remote... Read More learning to be engaging - which I was concerned about but with all of the partner and group activities amongst the course work, it was easy to remain engaged and excited to learn.

Pros. They teach you a lot and provide a lot of opportunities to get assistance if you get stuck or have concept questions. There is lab time where you can receive help wit homework and collaborate with classmates There are office hours four days a week,... Read More so can get additional help if needed. Cons. It takes up all of your time, so prepare for that. There is a wait during office hours, if there are a lot of students .

I really enjoyed the UXDI bootcamp online with GA. I had a small cohort of 10 students, all of who were very supportive of each other, which I think was a very important factor to my enjoyment of the course. I now know the basics of design principles,... Read More and have a new approach to how I look at problems in my every day life, which is really insightful and inspiring. Pros: Projects work fostered learning throughout the course. Good mix of working in groups and autonomously. Immediate support available in the online environment. Built up my enthusiasm in the design space. Great job outcomes post-course program. Much preferred short intensive course than a longer, more drawn out. Cons: There were times in the course where we could have learnt more, but were given time to 'learn on our own'. The course is expensive - but you get out what you put in. Due to the short duration, lacks real industry experience or opportunities to learn in other skill areas critical to the job, e.g. stakeholder management, however, this would apply to any style course taught this way.

This was the worst online course I have ever attended. They are only looking to fill their pocket and not thinking about the student learning process at all. Classes were too crowded, instructors could not handle the course. There were three weeks' breaks... Read More and they tried to finish the course anyway. One-on-one times are only jokes. Such a waste of time, money, and energy.

Overall great course, happy with the outcome. The GA team is very helpful the instructor and assistants we had were available and flexible with all students, which was key because sometimes work and life got in the way. The course consists of the core... Read More skills needed in Excel, Tableau and SQL that are needed in data analytics. The units were taught well, it can feel a little quick but as long as you are willing to put in the time then all is good. If I have to say one negative thing about the course it would be the fact that it does not include anything about the use of Python in data analytics since some employers ask for this skill. However, I knew this before selecting the course and given the length of the course it is not something I would signal as a major criticism at all. Overall, happy and would recommend.

My experience at GA was extremely positive. I was very impressed with GA's team knowledge, with their way of teaching and how the course was correctly structured and timely-measured. These guys they really know what they are doing and working on. Their... Read More resources and avaibility to hekp the students to understand re-explaining what as much as needed in order to make sure that the concepts are understood it's something remarkable. If you are looking to give your first-deep-steps in Data Science, this must be one of the best places to take them.

The overall experience was awesome. The instructors and course content allowed me to have sufficient skills, knowledge, and experience for my mid-career switch. I will recommend this course to others who are interested in the world of user experience... Read More and user interface design.
