Jellyfish prides itself on years of experience helping clients with their Google Analytics implementation. This one-day course focuses on helping you set up and configure GA4, the newest version of the platform.

GA4 is built for the future, enabling cross-platform measurement and new technologies to enhance the accuracy and relevance of your analytics. On the course, we’ll discuss what has changed in this newest version before reviewing what’s required to set up, configure, and audit a GA4 property.

You’ll test your newfound knowledge with plenty of hands-on, in-platform exercises, and you'll leave with the skills to start using this exciting new platform immediately.

Our Google Analytics 4: Implementation & Configuration course is delivered via Virtual Classroom. We also offer it as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in the US.

If you're interested in getting a comprehensive overview of GA4's reporting aspects, we also facilitate a Introduction to Google Analytics 4 Reporting course, which you can view here.
