Our take

Based on the ratings of 17,987 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in December 2022. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short cram course for the Google Analytics certification exam, not a full analytics course. The syllabus shows 25 lectures and about 2.3 hours of video, with 105 of those minutes in a single training section, plus a practice test and roughly 200 exam questions. Daragh Walsh built it for busy marketers and freelancers who want the badge on their LinkedIn profile fast, and around 118,000 students have enrolled. If passing the exam is the only goal, that framing is honest. If learning to use analytics day to day is the goal, this is too thin.

Reviewers like the step-by-step delivery and the plain language, and several say the practice questions are what got them through the exam on the first try, with a few rating it above Google's own Analytics Academy. The problem is age. The last update was December 2022, before Universal Analytics was shut down, and recent low-star reviews say the screens, settings and report names no longer match GA4. Some students could not follow along in a live account at all, and one complains there is no walkthrough for setting up the demo account. One beginner also found the concepts harder than the no-experience-required pitch suggests.

Value depends on how you use it. As a compact bank of exam-style questions it still earns its 4.3 rating from roughly 18,000 reviews. As a way to learn GA4 itself, a course built on GA4 from the start is the safer pick. Our recommendation: buy it on sale for the question bank, expect the videos to look dated, and check whether the instructor has refreshed it before relying on it for anything beyond exam prep.

Best forMarketers who only want the certification badge quickly and will lean on the question bank more than the videos.
Skip it ifYou want to learn GA4 hands-on, or you need screens that match the current Analytics interface.

Pros

  • Step-by-step delivery that reviewers call clear and easy to follow even as total newcomers
  • 200-plus practice questions that several students say got them through the exam first time
  • Only about 2.3 hours of video, so a weekend is enough to get through everything
  • Some students rate it clearer than Google's own free Analytics Academy material

Cons

  • Last updated December 2022 and built around Universal Analytics, which Google retired in 2024
  • Recent reviewers say GA4 screens, settings and report names no longer match the videos
  • No walkthrough for creating the demo account, so beginners aren't sure they set it up right
I also took the courses from Google Analytics Academy, but this helped to explain some of the concepts better. The practice questions definitely helped me pass the exam!
Clarissa Payne, a student

Pitched at complete beginners and intermediates alike, but at least one true newcomer says the concepts came too fast without any prior context.

By Whitney Strickland on 7/1/2026

I recently completed the Google Analytics course on Udemy and found it to be a clear, well‑structured, and practical guide to mastering GA4. The lessons were easy to follow, the examples were relevant, and the practice exams helped reinforce the concepts. This course was a great resource in preparing for my certification.

By Kegan du Plessis on 5/11/2026

Unfortunately GA4 has been updated since this course was designed, so it was not possible to follow along in Analytics in real time. The settings, names, reports etc are all different to what is described in the video.

By Stella Jesse on 4/9/2026

definitely, I have been looking for a course like this to add to my skills, but above all to also help me with running my business more efficiently.

By Bayan Beal on 3/2/2026

There is no walk through on how to actually create the demo account. The video and actual current website are different. It did not walk me through the setup so i don't know if I set it up correctly.

By Stacie Keller on 1/5/2026

It is a bit difficult for me as a beginner. Much of what he explains I do not understand. I may need a pre-course for this one. Do I need to have a genuine website up and running?

By Ronn on 9/24/2025

Udemy by far is the best source to learn any subject relating to career advancement. I was using Quizlet to study for my Google analytics test and it fell short. I’m super confident that I will pass the test now because Udemy has more practice questions than Quizlet. I recommend Udemy courses for anyone who is undecided to which course to take to study all aspects of marketing.

By Loris P. on 1/20/2022

Well structured, organized and clearly presented course. I do recommend this course, it really helped me out! I found it better than the Google academy course.

By Jonah Von Spreecken on 5/20/2020

The course advertises certification in a day, but I would recommend taking the time to really digest the different trainings, approx. 1 hour 40 minutes of training. I studied in 20 minute chunks, then took advantage of the sample quizzes and questions. In all, I was certified after about 4 days. Passed on my first try. Great course, thanks Daragh!

By Jeff White on 2/22/2020

This is a very thorough class, with tons of practice questions that really helped me grasp some "new-to-me" concepts. I will be referring back to this course often!

By Diomed on 7/21/2019

It is great to learn this way. So much I could understand about Google Analytics.. I have completed my certification with one go... Thanks Daragh !!!
