In a few short hours, you'll have the fundamental skills to help you immediately start applying sophisticated statistical analyses to your data.


Our course is:   

  • Very easy to understand - There is not memorizing complex formulas (we have Excel to do that for us) or learning abstract theories. Just real, applicable knowledge.

  • Fun - We keep the course light-hearted with fun examples

  • To the point - We removed all the fluff so you're just left with the most essential knowledge

  1. Create visualizations such as histograms and scatter plots to visually show your data  

  2. Apply basic descriptive statistics to your past data to gain greater insights

  3. Combine descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze and forecast your data

Good experience. I have learned a lot.

By Carlotta ROSSI on 7/19/2024

I really enjoyed the fact that exercises were based on very well known characters, they made numbers sound less boring ;-)) The course being so down to earth and practical really helped. I will surely have to go through the material again to make sure I do not forget the main concepts, but that is mainly because it was all rather new to me. This is a really helpful introduction for people like me who had zero background on statistics. Thanks!

By Chiao Yang on 6/11/2024

This course is so helpful even for someone like me who doesn't have any experience in statistics or data analytics. The explanations and exercises are super clear, simple, straightforward, and engaging (not boring at all). I also love how each piece of content is divided. This allows me to quickly revisit the part I need and apply it when necessary. Thanks so much, Nate!

This course is a good start for beginners. It didn't feel overwhelming because everything was explained well and important information was repeated throughout the course. I appreciate that things were simplified and lessons were separated into small, easily digestible chunks. I highly recommend this course for a general overview of statistics!

By Ceren U. on 12/12/2022

An excellent course for people to refresh and expand on their knowledge of high school statistics. My memory was fuzzy and pretty much limited to mean, median, mode etc. More importantly, I didn't know what to use that knowledge for. This course helped me solidify the basics and really understand their professional use cases. I liked the instructor's realistic approach as well. He doesn't get too abstract and makes sure you learn the things that will actually be useful to you in real life. The examples with Ollivander's Wand Shop were great to understand statistics in a business context. I would love to see Intermediate and Advanced being made as well.

By Bryan Lundeen on 6/29/2022

Breif to the point course on stats. Pros: easy to understand and good paced learning progression. Examples are clearly explained. Room for improvement: the examples of doing a regression with wands became confusing when the video also used a totally different product for the regression instructions. Our Excel book is a regression on wands, but the instructions that give examples of Excel's output was on something with temperature. Since I didn't have a worksheet with data about temperature, I could not follow along but tried to understand the concepts the best I could.

I found this coarse interesting but will need to go through it again a couple of times to fully understand everything, as I had no prior knowledge of this subject, instructor was great and I enjoyed learning with him.

By Jaimee on 3/1/2021

Finally, statistics makes sense! Nate broke down complicated terminology and definitions in a easy to understand way while providing simple examples. I appreciate his to the point easy teaching style and the excellent pdf slide and workbook to follow along and apply everything. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning statistics for data analytics. I no longer feel held back from excelling in my career due to a lack of understanding and application of statistics regarding data analysis. I'm excited to take all of the related courses in this series.

By Barbara Marich on 11/21/2020

easy to follow so far

By Amy Fox on 11/14/2020

I like how the course is broken up into shorter snippets, so it is easier to focus and I like the way Nate teaches. He is very enthusiastic.

By Alexandru Carbunaru on 11/7/2020

For now yes it is

By Patrick Quirke on 11/7/2020

This is all new to me which is great. I like learning about things I have no idea about but at the same time they are connected to your life in a abstract way.
All of a sudden I can see new pathways to deal with all sorts of data. Great stuff.
