Tableau Bootcamp
Hands-on Training from Experts
NYC or Live Online
Learn to create data visualizations with Tableau so you can turn raw data into useful and understandable visuals.
Why Learn Tableau?
Well-known as the industry standard for creating all kinds of charts, Tableau is a fully featured software that allows you to create complex data visualizations: from maps, charts, graphs, and other colorful representations of data that are informative and aesthetically pleasing. Tableau is a powerful tool, giving you full control of the look and feel of your visualizations, and helping compile your charts in the form of stories and dashboards.
Create & Distribute Interactive Visualizations
In this course, you’ll start learning about the field of data visualization and the various tools Tableau Public offers. You'll learn to identify datasets to connect to, then how to explore, analyze, filter, and structure data to create visualizations. Once you learn the foundations, you'll dive further into Tableau tools, use geographic data to make maps, and learn to customize your visualizations. By the end of this course, you'll be able to manipulate and publish all different types of visualizations.
