What are the students who took the course saying?

"The pace of the course was great and I was able to follow along with all the exercises using the provided data files and Google Analytics demo account" - Tricia

"The course is fantastic. The instructor was clear and on-point when it came to the content. Lachezar took me from a complete beginner to someone who can actually build dashboards and understand how DS works.

I was blown away by how relatively short the video content was compared to the value I received - if you go beyond what's instructed and dive deep to recreate every single step (and dashboard) presented in this course yourself, it'll take you easily 10-15 hours of work to do.

This is a no fluff course, updated, with great support from the instructor - I urge you to go for it." - Roi

"This course has been very very done, clear and insightful. I will start to use Data studio from today on." - Silvia
