While there are hours of lessons available on-demand, you can take the course at your own pace. There’s no set amount of time to complete the course.
You get lifetime access to the full course catalog, the private Discord community and the ability to request custom lessons based on the specific challenges your team is facing.
For $593 you receive lifetime access.
This is far less expensive what it would cost to someone to provide the same training 1:1. Additionally:
- You can request customized lessons
- You have access to a private Discord community where you can share tips, ask questions and request lessons
- Your access never expires. If GA4 updates its features, the lessons will be updated
There are more than 40 lessons in the course, with new ones being added all the time.
No. The course platform can detect whether log-ins are being shared on different devices/in different locations.
Any users who share log ins will have their access revoked and will not be granted refunds. Before access is revoked, the user in question will be contacted.
Yes, I offer group discounts for purchasing multiple seats at the same organization.
Email me at [email protected] with the number of seats you plan to purchase to receive a quote with discount codes.
I can provide certification for the lessons you completed to employers or clients. I have no affiliation with Google so any certification provided is not officially endorsed by Google.
This course is for journalists, newsrooms, marketers and anyone who wants to better learn to analyze their content performance using Google Analytics 4.
