The Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate is a Coursera program, and you take it at coursera.org. You can audit all eight courses for free, which gives you the video lessons and readings. The hands-on labs, graded quizzes, and the certificate need a Coursera subscription or per-course payment, and financial aid is available. Google builds and hosts it only on Coursera, so there is no separate free version elsewhere. We are not in Coursera's affiliate program, so we earn nothing whether you audit or pay. Audit it if you want the lessons for free, or pay for the full track if you want the graded projects and the Google credential on your resume.
The certificate bundles eight courses, and Coursera estimates about 6 months at 10 hours a week to finish (source: coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-data-analytics).

What does it cover?
Data cleaning, analysis, and visualization, plus spreadsheets, SQL queries, Tableau, and an introduction to R for analysis.
Do I need experience to start?
No. It's a beginner certificate that starts from scratch and assumes no prior analytics or coding background.
