Google Business Intelligence Certificate

Business intelligence (BI) uses various processes and tools to turn raw data into easy-to-understand, actionable information. Organizations rely on this information to make better strategic and operational business decisions.

The Google Business Intelligence Certificate is designed for people working in data analytics or graduates of the Google Data Analytics Certificate program who want to boost their data analytics skills.

Business intelligence analysts create processes and information channels that transform data into actionable insights that can inform business decisions. Some example problems for BI include measuring performance, tracking revenue or spending, and monitoring progress.

Enrolling in the Google Business Intelligence Certificate will teach you the skills to advance your career to become a business intelligence analyst, business intelligence engineer, or business intelligence developer. Business intelligence professionals know how to ask the right question; prepare, process, and analyze data for key insights; effectively share their findings with stakeholders; and provide data-driven recommendations for thoughtful action.

You'll learn these job-ready skills in our certificate program through interactive content (discussion prompts, quizzes, and activities) in under six months, with under 10 hours of flexible study a week.* Along the way, you'll work through a curriculum designed with input from top employers and industry leaders, like Tableau, Accenture, and Deloitte. You'll even have the opportunity to complete a case study that you can share with potential employers to showcase your new skill set.

After you've graduated from the program, you'll have access to career resources and the opportunity to connect directly with over 150 employers who are hiring for open entry-level roles in data analytics.

The courses offered in the Google Business Intelligence Certificate are...

• Foundations of Business Intelligence
• The Path to Insights: Data Models and Pipelines
• Decisions, Decisions: Dashboards and Reports

Data analytics and BI share a lot of common ground: They are both fields in which professionals use data to create insights that inform decision-making. Data analysts share insights via a report while BI professionals build a dashboard for stakeholders to monitor themselves. BI is more focused on making data readily available and easily understandable by organizational leaders. BI professionals retrieve and prepare data from multiple sources to then create reports and dashboards that make the data - and insights from the data - easily accessible.

The data analysis tools and platforms included in the certificate curriculum are BigQuery, Tableau and SQL.
