ONLINE
The Future is Now
 

The analytics industry is one of the fastest growing in modern times and it is poised to become a  $50 billion market by 2017!

 
Nearly every business and non-profit organization has a website, and probably a Facebook page and a YouTube channel. Individuals have them, too. No matter what brings you to the Web, your hope is that a lot of people see your website, your wall, your tweets, and your videos.
 
Get prepared to move along with the analytics industry. In our online course, Introduction to Google Analytics ($99) you will learn to use Google Analytics to make the most of your online traffic. You'll see how you can track not just the traffic to all of your online content, but also determine which content is the most appealing, where your visitors came from, what devices they used, how long they stayed, which links they clicked, and where they went when they left.
 

"Your customers go everywhere; shouldn't your analytics? Google Analytics shows you the full customer picture across ads and videos, websites and social tools, tablets and smartphones. That makes it easier to serve your current customers and win new ones."

  

Introduction to Google Analytics and other Instructor-paced courses begin on a Wednesday in each month.
