Professional Certificate in Analytics for Marketers (GA4, UTM Tracking & Dashboarding)
A hands-on, marketer-friendly programme that builds practical competence in Google Analytics 4
(GA4), UTM tracking discipline, and executive-ready dashboards. You’ll design measurement plans.
Course Overview
A hands-on, marketer-friendly programme that builds practical competence in Google Analytics 4
(GA4), UTM tracking discipline, and executive-ready dashboards. You’ll design measurement plans,
implement events and conversions, structure UTMs, troubleshoot data quality, read GA4 reports
with confidence, and present clear, decision-driving dashboards (Looker Studio / Excel / Power BI)
that connect channels to business outcomes.
Why This Course is Important?
- From noise to signal: Robust tracking and clean UTMs turn fragmented data into reliable insights.
