Our recommendation
Google's advanced data analytics certificate, the follow-on to its beginner Data Analytics programme. It moves into Python, statistics, regression and machine learning — the skills for senior analyst and junior data-scientist roles. It expects data-analytics foundations first, so it is not a starting point.
