Course Overview

Tableau Desktop Specialist Certification Guide

Tableau Desktop Specialist Certification Exam Subjects Covered in Detail! + Real World Case Study & 2 Practice Tests

Are you planning on taking the Desktop Specialist Certification Exam soon?


In this course we will work through all the concepts covered in the Desktop Specialist Certification Exam plus we will apply these concepts to a case study. By the end of the course you will be taught each concept and also tested as there are quizzes after each section and a practice test modeled after the real exam. Applying the concepts in a case study will really hammer home the concepts… It’s much easier to remember something you’ve done than something you’ve just passively watched someone else do!


Use Tableau to Analyze and Visualize Sales Data To Develop Actionable Insights


Visualizing current and historical sales data can result in huge insights that aren’t
readily apparent in the day to day grind. The right visualizations help quickly identify trends and
outliers (positive or negative), which help to adjust course for more profitable sales & marketing
as well as a more efficient and informed supply chain.


Contents and Overview


Throughout this course we will work through a sample consulting engagement where the client wants us to conduct a data discovery on their sales data. They need help planning for the upcoming year both in their marketing department and also their supply chain. We will use their raw sales data to come up with insights for both teams.


This project will focus our approach to Tableau forcing us to learn the basics while solving a real world business problem. My hope is that you’ll feel like you’re learning a new problem solving tool not just a series of functions in a software interface. The course structure is modeled after the Tableau Certification Exam Guide and broken down into the following sections:


  1. Introduction

  2. Connecting To & Preparing Data

  3. Exploring & Analyzing Data

  4. Understanding Tableau Concepts

  5. Conclusion

    Many questions in the practice test lack clarity and no explanations are provided to support the answers when you review the results. Additionally, some questions contain incorrect answers.

    I found the content of this course to be outdated, which impacted its relevance and accuracy. One major issue was the misinformation provided regarding the use of Google on test day—this is misleading and can set the wrong expectations for learners. Unfortunately, this course alone was insufficient preparation for passing the exam.
