I need more structure. Without the structure that a cohort provides, I just never would have been disciplined enough to gift myself the 10 hours of my own time each week towards upskilling in an area that directly benefits me and is of high interest to me. That’s the biggest thing that the cohort provided for me.

This is the best course on Power BI I have encountered! He makes it really easy to understand such complex topics and it trains you as you go along so that once you're finished with the course you are confident enough to work on your own. I totally recommend this course to anyone who is interested in Power BI or Business Inteligence.

Being part of the cohort experience greatly assisted me in staying on track with my learning goals. The aspect of accountability was instrumental in ensuring I stayed committed to completing the assignments on time. Equally important was the support provided by all the team members throughout the experience. The sense of camaraderie helped enhance the overall learning experience.

A lot of online courses have one or two exercises and that’s it. I liked having projects that simulated what you would do in an actual job. It helped reinforce concepts and build my portfolio--which I used in my interview.

I was shocked at how much of a difference meeting just once a week made to keep me on track. I had the chance to collaborate and ask questions with the experts at Maven and all within a reasonable workload, even for someone in Sales, and sales never sleeps.

"The course is fantastic and highly recommended. It gave me the confidence to perform the logical analysis in any given data source and of course build kickass visuals business dashboards for my clients :). Loved the course from the first second to the last."

"The Maven Analytics Courses are packed full of practical lessons and useful pro tips that can be immediately applied to data in the workplace. One of the best trainings I've ever taken!"

"Maven Analytics changed my life, I found a better job position taking the Excel and Power BI paths, nowadays I can apply my skills in my company innovating everyday. Thankful forever."

"Thinking like an Analyst course has helped me to clearly understand what it takes to have a successful career in data analytics. I have learnt that my focus should be on the skills I acquire while learning and not the tools. I have also learnt a data analysis workflow for high quality analysis that drives actionable outcomes. I had fun while learning during this course. It is self pacing and elaborate."

"Maven really makes it possible to get into data analytics without taking (and paying for) a traditional education program. The courses I took left me with a better understanding and deeper knowledge of what I like most: analyzing data."

"Before deciding to join this learning platform, I struggled to understand and figure out what direction I needed to take for my skill development to be a Data Analyst. This first course helped ease some of my fears and confusion. I am more passionate about my decision to become a data analyst. THANK YOU Chris, John, Aaron, and Enrique , and I look forward to learning more through Maven."

"Love the Maven courses! The instructors always have great slide content to help solidify the concepts and drive home the key aspects. The examples and very relatable making it so much easier to understand how to apply my own projects."

"Maven's Pivot Table & Charts class was a great intro to dashboard design but Advanced Excel Dashboard Design will take your approach to a whole new level. You'll learn the importance of formula-based dashboard design and how to manipulate colors, charts, and KPI metric cards to tell your story. By far one of my favorite Maven classes!"

"Once again Maven blows it out of the water. In this fantastic, well structures course about the way to "Think Like an Analyst". It has so many good points and actions to take when putting together a project. I found it very useful and was able to put it into practice at work straight away. Thank Guys!"

"An excellent course with top-notch data sets to work around with. As usual, Chris Dutton did a fabulous job of covering each element with a simplistic but analytical approach. Although I've been using pivot tables for 5+ years, the new learnings will open a whole array of opportunities for extracting actionable insights. Thank you!"

"For all aspiring or converted analyst out there, stop looking around, this is the way to get the role you are looking for. I am truly impressed with the quality of the information and the completeness of the package Maven Analytics put together. In this well rounded package you have everything you need, from finding your own path, writing or re-writing your resume, marketing on LinkedIn, to building the so needed project portfolio, and even interview skills and approaches."

"Thinking like an analyst" course is a very complete compact course if you have to go through the process of getting to know your customers business till building an insightful dashboard for them. I did a lot of courses the past year but this one is totally different. Key is satisfying your customer by giving them strong insights. I really enjoyed the course and put it on pause many times to check or use it directly in my own ongoing project. I can recommend this course to anybody working as a consultant in the data area."
