BigQuery is a powerful Big Data solution that can provide you with the insights you need to create a better customer experience and drive competitive advantage.

If you are using your analytics data to answer complex business questions or are looking for a solution that will help create efficiency and save costs in the long term, our BigQuery implementation and insights specialists will show you how BigQuery can help solve these problems.

The course will take advantage of Google Analytics 360 data to cover the four main concepts that a user should understand when using BigQuery: projects, datasets, tables and jobs.

We’ll cover in detail the main elements of interaction including loading and exporting data as well as querying, viewing and managing data. Finally, we will look at some common causes of error and BigQuery's integrations with other tools.

Our Google BigQuery course is offered as a Virtual Classroom course, which will be hosted from the UK. It is also available as a private training session and can be delivered at any location of your choice.
