Nailed it. A great introduction to Tableau, given what an iceberg this software can be. The content covers the basics very well and common/expected use cases. Garfield also set us up for success by detailing precisely how we can dig deeper and further expand our knowledge with the software. I like that many datasets are included for practicing at home, as well as sharing where/how we can acquire additional datasets, Tableau templates from the community for inspiration, and so forth. Very helpful.
I would recommend this class to all my friends.
You can tell that Jeanette is an expert in her field. I got overwhelmed on part of day one, but at the start of day 2, I felt like things got easier for me to grasp due to her thorough explanation and the time she took to make sure we got each concept.
The class was very good and covered a lot of material. Always asked if there were any questions with both the live and Zoom students.
Course was great. The material covered provided a solid foundation for novice Tableau users. The instructor was also terrific!
The instructor had useful knowledge about the class. It helped me to get a much better understanding of the subject matter.
Jerron was great! Learned a lot. Great instructor.
The class was very informative, and the materials were laid out well. The instructor was also engaging and explained concepts in a way that was understandable.
Worth every penny! The content was great and explained thoroughly at a good class pace.
Friendly instructor and easy-to-follow instructions. I did not feel rushed with the content.
Great class. Jerron is super engaging and kept me interested and motivated! Made re-learning the topic enjoyable.
The Tableau class was highly informative and valuable for my circumstances. I have worked with dashboards as a data reviewer, but never knew how to build dashboards and worksheets. This class gave me the knowledge about the structure and process of the dashboard creation through worksheets. It has expanded my knowledge and way of thinking about dashboards allowing me to use Tableau more efficiently and effectively in the future.
The class was great.
Gaining a high-level understanding of Tableau was a surprisingly positive experience. Jerron's slide decks were clear and informative, making it easy to follow along. But his teaching went beyond the slides. He was engaging, his explanations were crystal clear, and he even managed to make the subject fun!
Tableau was new to me, and taking this class made me feel confident about navigating the software. The contents were easy to follow and very thorough in the explanations of concepts.
For a beginner who is not in the corporate world, this bootcamp definitely felt inclusive; the instructor was also enthusiastic about answering an array of questions.
Great class! The professor was very patient and insightful and helped after class to make sure students fully understood the material. I would recommend it to others wanting to learn Tableau!
Highly recommend this class. Learning at its best.
Tableau is a beautiful application. I'm so happy to be learning about it, and I am so happy my work offers these classes! The teacher is very patient and goes at a good pace to keep up while still being able to take notes and try things out yourself.
I would recommend that anyone interested in Tableau take this course.
This class taught me how to use and implement Tableau functionality, which has the potential to be very useful in my work. I learned a lot. Thank you.
The instructor (Jerron) was inclusive, supportive, and very engaging. His knowledge of the ins and outs of the program/software was so useful - you can tell he actually uses Tableau.
A solid and practical course. I'm 51, and it's no secret I'm slower to the game. Jerron was the best online instructor I've had. He was professional, friendly, and very patient with me and others. I saw no one frustrated, least of all Jerron. He should be working to help train new instructors - he can truly "train the trainer."
The class was easy to follow, the content was relevant, and many helpful Tableau concepts were covered. Jerron was an interesting and engaging instructor. He was very knowledgeable and was able to teach effectively.
Great instructor and very well set up. A lot of good resources to take home and use. The skills here already have helped me out in my current role.
