When this filter is the wrong call

If you want a programme with a university credential, a fixed deadline, or hands-on projects that are graded, this filter is not the right call. The courses here are free and self-paced, which suits someone testing the field, but they do not offer a formal degree or a placement guarantee. In that case, open the Data Analytics courses hub or the Free Data Analytics Courses with Certificate facet instead.
