Course overview
Kick start your Tableau learning journey!
Analytics and Communication are two of LinkedIn's ten Most In-Demand Skills for 2023. Data visualizations communicate analytical insights in an easily consumable format, and Tableau is the gold-standard no-code business intelligence software for creating engaging, aesthetically pleasing, and insightful dashboards. Over the course of a weekend and a Monday night, you'll get the most comprehensive introduction to the software possible, directly from a Tableau Ambassador.

01
Aspiring data visualization developers desiring to kick-start your learning path. (This course is now a prerequisite to my six-week course.)
02
Business users who desire a better understanding of Tableau in order that they may make more effective decisions with data.
03
Individuals who used Tableau previously but need a refresher including the latest updates.
