The Tableau Desktop Specialist certification, along with your portfolio, will demonstrate essential data analysis and visualization competencies to potential employers and boost your confidence going into job interviews.
In addition to a group resume and portfolio development session, we'll chat one-on-one to clarify your career goals and you'll finish the course with a specific, actionable plan for achieving them in a realistic timeframe.
We'll practice uncovering insights in real-world datasets and communicating them in writing, through visualization, and verbally. You'll be ready for any job interview scenarios that might come your way, too.

A retrospective look at what you've accomplished in the course. Each student who wants to participate will receive both instructor and peer feedback and provide feedback to peers on their portfolio projects and resume.
Have you ever published a Tableau workbook and and later realized that your tooltips contain the names of your calcs? Did a kind colleague alert you to a spelling error? Does your audience seem confused by what action they should take based on your analysis?
You need a checklist! Even seasoned pros occasionally publish a viz or dashboard and miss one of the many final details required for your audience to unequivocally trust your analysis and for your work to look as polished as possible.
Get the checklist I use personally before publishing my work!
