Description

How is this course different from other Tableau courses?

Many courses prioritize exam preparation or maximizing exposure to keywords. However, this approach doesn't necessarily translate to real-world application. Our course was developed with a focus on delving deep into the core concepts essential for working with data in Tableau, emphasizing not only the 'how' but also the 'why.'

We understand that everyone has a different learning style, and our preferred methods evolve as we mature. Taking this into consideration, we developed our material to incorporate hands-on videos, exercises, and visual guides. Additionally, we utilize a blend of open-ended questions and prompts derived from our professional experiences to reinforce your understanding of each concept and prepare you for real-world challenges.

Most of all, we can do all this and have some fun along the way!

What does the right way mean?

We understand that many people are self-taught — we were too at the start of our careers! While this approach may help you get by, our goal is for you to thrive. Doing things the right way entails fully understanding the reasoning behind every action you take (yes, we're talking about blue vs. green pills). For those who have never opened Tableau before, we aim to provide you with all the knowledge we wish we had when we were starting out.


Who are you anyways?

We are seasoned professionals with over two decades of combined experience, having worked with Fortune 500 companies, government organizations, and professional sports teams. This course is grounded in our real-world expertise. Michael has trained thousands of students across various organizations and universities, while Lindsey is an award-winning data visualization designer and developer.

Who this course is for:

  • Students looking to develop a new skill to elevate their resume and differentiate themselves
  • Professionals transitioning their careers to data analysis, business intelligence, or data science.
  • Individuals seeking to learn Tableau through a methodical and principled approach
  • Data professionals looking to leverage existing related skillsets (e.g. Excel, SQL) to learn Tableau
  • People looking to spend their corporate learning credit ;)
