Teaching methods

Classes are every week. Within each lesson we will try to both go through the theoretical concepts and practical tasks done in Google Analytics and the surrounding Google ecosystem (Google Tag Manager, or Google Data Studio).
Primarily, the first weeks will be mostly theoretical - to establish a foundation on which we can continue to build.
At the end of each class, there will be a follow-up self-study assignment with  assignments for the next week.

Assessment methods

To be granted the credit student needs to obtain the Google Analytics Individual Qualification (GAIQ) certification and to submit the assigned tasks for self-study.
