Instructor Details

Nikolai Schuler

Are you thinking about pursuing a career as a Data Analyst or Data Scientist?

Do you ever think that your career could take a leap forward if you would have more knowledge and skills in the world of data?

Perhaps you are even feeling overwhelmed by the number of courses available or by the fact that your life is already too full to concentrate on one more course?


I am Nikolai Schuler, I am a data scientist and BI consultant, and I have been there too...

A few years ago I noticed that the world of data benefits from many new tools and technologies. However, I also realized that it is extremely difficult to get trained in the field: Practical courses with real quality content are rare and are often structured in such a way that they are incompatible with a working life full of other tasks and activities.

While going through hours of research and training, I came up with the idea of creating a course that would offer extremely valuable content but that would be at the same time easy to follow due to its structure.

My goal is to help as many people as possible to pursue their desired career in this new Digital Age by enabling them to upgrade their data analysis skills. I am proud to say that I am heading in the right direction as my courses have already found their audience in over 170 countries and received thousands of positive feedbacks.

I finished this course!!! The instructor was very through and covered all aspects of Looker Studio. It was a bit of a slog but I followed along with every example in the lesson, building dozens of dashboards. The exercises were great and helped cement the learning. I think my only two complaints were 1. The instructor would talk pretty fast so I was always playing the lesson at .75x and 2. The instructor promised more updates but I think this class has been around for 2 years and there doesn't seem to be any updates during that time. But otherwise, if you want to learn Looker Studio, this is a great investment.

By Nazli Seyidova on 5/5/2026

This course is really beginner-friendly. It almost covers up the whole knowledge about Looker by being practically.

By Laura Taylor on 2/11/2026

This course was essential for me as I needed to create a financial dashboard. With knowing next to nothing about Looker Studio before, I now feel like an expert thanks to this course and I appreciated the instructions on how to link with BigQuery data as that was also another area where I needed practical knowledge.

By Udemy User on 2/10/2026

Great so far! The pace is a little fast if you're trying to follow along - I think it would be challenging if I wasn't familiar with other BI tools.

By Angel Navarro Domínguez on 12/30/2025

Muy completo y se explica a detalle y con ejemplos, si hubiera algo que mejorar sería el zoom del video

By Mavis Liu on 10/5/2025

The course content was incredibly rich and in-depth. It covered a wide range of material, from foundational concepts to advanced topics. The 8.5 hours of instruction will probably take me five times that long or more to fully absorb through repeated viewing and practice. The explanations were very clear. However, for a non-native English speaker, the pacing of both the speaking and the demonstrations was a little fast. I often watched at 0.75× speed (though this could just be a personal issue). Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to deep-dive into Looker Studio.

By Özlem Albayrak on 8/5/2025

Too fast, without explaining doing lots of things, just moving from one place to another. you need to stop and find what he is doing.

By Gurkirat Singh on 7/7/2025

I took this course on a whim, but I do not regret taking it. I was looking at my career options and Data Analyst was one that really caught my attention. I can confidently say that this course reinforced that interest. The projects were great the tutorials were pretty good and I'm sure I'll be back to review some of these videos. To anyone looking to take this course, my advice to you is to have fun with it. This is one of the data analytics tools where you can really let your creativity flow. I really enjoyed the course and my one issue was at times the instructions were pretty vague. Other than that, I had fun. Huge shout out to the instructor this was awesome :) !

By Oisin Kearns on 6/27/2025

Great course so far, I like his deep dives but more importantly how he rounds up all the videos with good examples at the end. These are critical as when I do come back for references I don't need to rewatch all the videos to get a feel but a good brief overview. There is a lot of poor courses out there but this is meeting all my expectations. Loving the course. Improvement: I believe he can zoom out a little bit as some panels in the screen aren't always visible, as well as just give 1 more example with the deep dives in order to truly, cement the lesson.

By Lauren Allen on 5/29/2025

All of the files weren't attached for lesson 1.5. Also, maybe I have a newer version of Looker Studio since this was filmed, but not all of the actions reproduced the same results. Going from the data set to the report did not naturally create a table on the report.
