Course Description
This course is designed for me to pass on as much knowledge about Tableau to you as I can.
We will go through the most popular Tableau questions and I will reveal how I would go about answering each of these questions.
Moreover, there will be ample examples in this course and I will explain my answers in detail and actually show you how it all plays out in the software.
The course is broken up into three sections based on the question types:
- Simple
- Moderate
- Difficult
Also you can use the questions in this course to check your knowledge of Tableau - after I reveal the question, pause the video and try to answer the question. Then check if your answer is the same as mine.
This is a short, dynamic, and fun course!
Unlike my other courses you won't have to do any exercises. The lectures have a conversational format, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy how we delve into the diverse world of Tableau.
I look forward to seeing you inside!

It's very amazing course to take! I enjoyed every bit of explanation with the most commonly asked interview questions for tableau. I thank Kirill for explain in details every questions was designed for this course. I like taking course from Kirill, because all the courses he taught, they are all in depth. I highly recommended for taking this course before the tableau interview, Just fresh up the learning skills and have fun!

This is a good introduction to basic tableau interview Q&A course. However, would like to see more advanced stuff like what is trendlines - P-value, R- squared with full explanation and more stats stuff in tableau.
By Ben S on 1/20/2020
A nice variety of critical areas that may be mentioned in an interview or on the job. Reviewing and understanding them should instill more confidence in both discussing and implementing. While some features may be a little dated, still worth the time if you don't feel 100% comfortable with Tableau.
By Jitesh on 7/20/2019
The version is old , also it could have been better if some write up is provided. Even the concepts are not explained properly. If the trainer wanted a course without a hands on exercises than he should have covered more complex topics. Just a waste of time, you can get better videos than this in youtube for FREE.

I am completely new to Tableau, and have to understand it well enough to sell our agency's capability with the it. This course is a fantastic way to get an overview of what Tableau is and what it can do. I intend to dig deeper into Tableau, but for now I needed a quick introduction. This course gives me the confidence to speak intelligently about Tableau and a platform from which to continue my exploration with other courses. The instructor is very knowledgeable, and the pacing is good. If you want to get your feet wet in a fast-paced introduction, this is a great course.

Great detailed information. Easy to understand, even if you are a newbie to Tableau. The curriculum is nicely divided into easy, medium and tough interview questions. The trainer is very engaging and maintains to keep your attention by keeping the sessions short and sweet, and straight to the point. Just like an interviewer would want to hear the interview answers. Thank you! Money well spent :)

This is very essential course after completing the basic course on Tableau desktop. This QA course resolves most of the queries and confusion on Tableau. So i would recommend this course to all. Santosh Nandal

Hi Kirill, This course really clarifies most of the questions that I had after taking your basic and advanced courses on Tableau 10. Hope you will be adding lot more questions in the future. Thanks for the great work. Regards Rajkumar Asohan
By Priya Dange on 6/10/2017
This course is helpful in preparing for interviews as well as a quick learning to summarize all the important and relevant concepts. The instructor is very knowledgeable and the information presented has a lot of clarity. I would recommend this course to others for sure!
By Bob Hiltner on 2/7/2017
I was on the fence about buying this course. I'm glad I did, though it's not the sort of thing that will rock your world. It covers general concepts and a good (sparse) survey of features. Some questions, e.g., how to enable dual axis on a chart, seem detail-ish, and not the type of thing I'd typically ask a candidate, while others get into conceptual depth, e.g,. filter types and use cases, that would show me a candidate has a good foundation. I appreciate the instructors enthusiasm and generosity with his knowledge of the product (and data science). I learned new things, and supplemented the lectures with outside documents to flesh them out a bit more. In summary, it's worth a few hours of your time to go through the course to introduce or reinforce some Tableau concepts, and may increase your confidence going into an interview--THAT is where its value would lie.
