Course Description

Are you planning on taking the Desktop Specialist Certification Exam soon?
In this course we will work through all the concepts covered in the Desktop Specialist Certification Exam plus we will apply these concepts to a case study. By the end of the course you will be taught each concept and also tested as there are quizzes after each section and a practice test modeled after the real exam. Applying the concepts in a case study will really hammer home the concepts Its much easier to remember something youve done than something youve just passively watched someone else do!
Use Tableau to Analyze and Visualize Sales Data To Develop Actionable InsightsVisualizing current and historical sales data can result in huge insights that arentreadily apparent in the day to day grind. The right visualizations help quickly identify trends andoutliers (positive or negative), which help to adjust course for more profitable sales & marketingas well as a more efficient and informed supply chain.
Contents and OverviewThroughout this course we will work through a sample consulting engagement where the client wants us to conduct a data discovery on their sales data. They need help planning for the upcoming year both in their marketing department and also their supply chain. We will use their raw sales data to come up with insights for both teams.
This project will focus our approach to Tableau forcing us to learn the basics while solving a real world business problem. My hope is that youll feel like youre learning a new problem solving tool not just a series of functions in a software interface. The course structure is modeled after the Tableau Certification Exam Guide and broken down into the following sections:

Wonderfully designed course and exam questions. Thanks John!

By Trevor Hoffart on 12/20/2020

Getting started is usually the hardest part. I found the first few videos incredibly helpful at getting started and getting into a dataset.

By James Walsh on 12/20/2020

Not a good course to study for the Tableau certification. Creator goes through the very basics and gives a brief overview of each section.

By Kevin Waters on 12/13/2020

Yes, I am able to follow the instructor very well!

By Sam Stuart on 12/13/2020

Slow to get going. The guy speaking currently sounds like he really doesn't want to be here.

By Matt Vogl on 12/6/2020

I love that its addressing topics specific to what the Tableau Desktop Specialist exam will test on. One suggestion I would offer is to take the time to introduce each data source and how its configured every time you start a new section. That part took some time for me to get set up and ready for following along.

By Mishra Abhishek Kumar on 11/10/2020

This course quickly covered all the key concepts in tableau. The bonus section about how to get into job with Tableau Certification was quite interesting as it discussed where to start.

By David L Haynes on 10/21/2020

I like the way the topics are discussed straigth to the point. I have taken other courses where its hard to focus because of over explaining. This is right on for me.

By Hitesh Kashyap on 10/11/2020

No doubt As a beginner on Tableau it was an amazing course to me. Highly recommended for those who are starting towards Tableau. Course is arranged in a well mannered way. I just wanna give a feedback regarding no. of quizes in between the sections should be increased. Overall I am very happy after taking this course.
Thanks a lot to John David Ariansen :) Would love to see some more courses on this from you.

By Sheri Rosalia on 10/9/2020

Enjoyed it. Well paced. Good overview and the practice exams are appreciated. Five stars.

By Heather St. Clair on 10/6/2020

Great match! I am taking the cert exam on Thursday and this course is a good resource for me.

By Udit Khatri on 9/27/2020

This is good course for beginners. Trainer is nice guy and explains concepts in simple, easy to understand language. I personally wasn't happy with the sample dataset used in course for examples and hands on. It's very basic, would be great if you take up a better dataset. Also the answers were not correct for few questions in the practice exams. Appreciate the bonus materials.
