Meta Data Analyst

Overview

Meta's Data Analyst Professional Certificate is a beginner-level program built to take learners from no analytics background to job-ready, with 64,310 students enrolled on Coursera. It leans on Meta's own data practices as the backbone of the curriculum.

Who it's for

Career-switchers eyeing a data analyst role, or marketing/operations professionals who want to formalize the analytical work they're already doing with proper tooling and vocabulary.

Key skills

• Exploratory data analysis, data cleansing, and data collection
• Data storytelling and presentation for non-technical stakeholders
• Tracking KPIs and business metrics through business analytics
• Data visualization, plus an introduction to using generative AI in analytics workflows

What makes this worth a look over a generic analytics course is the emphasis on storytelling and presentation, not just cleaning and manipulating data — the part of the job that actually gets a report acted on.
