Hello.

All skills are basically divided into two categories, ones that can be learnt online and ones that can only be learnt in a classroom model. In my personal opinion you can learn how to play a guitar by following an online video, whereas having all the materials available online to become a doctor, you still cannot become a doctor watching videos. Data Analytics is one such profession where you need to have classroom experience as well. You can choose online training for the basics but you have to undergo classroom training for the advance part of it.

I personally believe in learning by doing. Hence would always recommend a program over a course. As program is more purpose focused enlightening complete domain knowledge whereas a course is more tool focused where you can only upgrade limited number of skills. Opting for a course is often seen to meet a short term goal because as the tools get updated your skill gets outdated. Hence you going for a program would be recommendable.

One should always go for a program which is onsite, instructor led and heavily practice driven .

You will come across a lot of institutions, courses, programs that will help you learn data analytics. Some are way expensive while some are reasonable. But, one very important thing to keep in mind while you are enrolling for such courses is to know the worth of it in terms of knowledge and what at the end of the course you are developing within yourself.

Hope this is helpful.

Good luck.
