Course Description

This is a hands-on, project-based course designed to help you build automated Alteryx workflows for extracting, cleaning, transforming and analyzing raw data.


We’ll start by introducing and installing Alteryx Designer and exploring options for importing and exporting data from flat files, folders, text, and databases.


Next, we’ll apply tools to prepare our data for analysis, including filtering, sorting, sampling, cleansing, and more. We’ll dive into data transformation, and use joining tools to combine data from multiple streams, parsing tools to modify and extract text, spatial tools to create maps and distance calculations, and transpose tools to aggregate, transform, and reshape our data into new formats.


Last but not least we’ll use data visualization and automation to bring our Alteryx workflows to life, with custom layouts, interactive charts, maps, macros, and more.


Throughout the course, you’ll play the role of Senior Alteryx Developer for MavenData, a company that collects and aggregates food and beverage data from retailers across the US. Your role? Help the company build automated workflows to prepare its raw data for reporting and data analysis.

Good But I am unable to get Alteryx software as independent learner as independent learner section is not showing in website. Till then I this is a view only course for me.. Also as for business IDs the website is allowing only 30 day trial mode and I am not a student now but only an independent learner. Please help me through this as I am not able to practice the application of alteryx software.

By Preet Mehta on 9/22/2025

It is nicely designed; the pace is good. One thing that can be improved here is going step wise, what changes each workflow step has done (though it was shown at places - missed at some) ... Overall it was good knowledgeable course

By Rob French on 9/7/2025

great content. some word pronunciation issues but im just sensitive to it. "asterix" vs "asterisk". Ignore me. the course is good as is the presenter.

By Shilpa Nayak on 5/28/2025

It is a really good course for beginners to learn alteryx as it covers all the topics and the topics are explained very well by the instructor. A good job by the instructor. One suggestion would be to have simple examples, these are bit complicated from a beginners perspective to understand.

By Poornisha Rao on 2/15/2025

He almost covered all basic topics in Alteryx. But the examples he took to explain was really complicated, he could have used simpler examples for better understanding. Also the workflow he created while teaching was confusing as everything was done in a same sheet it was too congested. For a beginner without prior knowledge of Alteryx might find it little difficult to understand. He could have done a lot more better than this.

By Anonymized User on 1/4/2024

This course content is amazing and tailored very well to give best hands on and better understanding on Alteryx tool. Would surely recommend.

By Johan Chen on 1/2/2024

Simply awesome Alteryx course for beginner and probably intermediate level. Learned a lot from this course.

By Nigar Mutallimova on 9/23/2023

My experience was amazing, I love how applied the course was - like a gigantic projects where everything is connected. Instructor is very knowledgeable and explains in a good way! I almost knew nothing about Alteryx and now can create a whole pipeline. Let's see if I can pass Alteryx certification in a couple of hours!

By Zilvinas Markauskas on 5/11/2023

I have taken different Maven courses, but this one is an average - would not recommend. Instructor is not engaging (seems like he is reading from the manual), there is a disconnect in the flow of the course (ex: Batch Macros - not sure where does Batch Macro Pre-flow comes from). A little disappointed.

By Philip Mendon on 4/25/2023

This course is exactly what I was looking for. Just the right amount of fundamentals content with some extra tips and tricks added in! Another great course from Dustin!
