Think of your student dashboard as mission control πŸš€

​

You can read on for more detail or take an interactive tour and explore all the features and functionality for yourself (Note: you must be logged in for the interactive tour)

DASHBOARD

Your Dashboard is where you can quickly view and manage your most important information and includes several key views. Here you can:

  • Complete your "Getting Started" checklist

  • Build your personal learning plan & track your progress

  • Access courses, paths, and Guided Projects

  • Jump back into your most recent course

  • See announcements from the Maven team

  • View & share credentials you've earned

  • Create & add projects to your portfolio

  • + much more!

The menu on the left side is conveniently divided between:

  • LEARN - all the learning content (courses, paths, assessments and credentials)

  • CREATE - everything related to practice work and showcasing your skills

MY LEARNING PLAN

The My Learning Plan tab is where you can create or manage your personalized plan, which is designed around your specific goals and learning objectives. Track progress, add or remove courses, modify deadlines, or retake the survey to build a brand new path at any time.

SELF-PACED COURSES

The Courses tab allows you to browse individual courses. You can filter courses based on:

  • Status (Not Started, In Progress, Complete)

  • Tools (Excel, Power BI, MySQL, Tableau, Python)

  • Learning Paths (BI Analyst, Data Visualization, etc.)

  • Instructors (Chris Dutton, Aaron Parry, John Pauler, etc.)

  • Skills (Data Analysis, Data Viz, Machine Learning, etc.)

  • CPE Certified (whether the course carries CPE points or not)

LEARNING PATHS

The Learning Paths tab is where you can view our pre-built, curated, paths. This view can be filtered based on:

  • Instructors (Chris Dutton, Aaron Parry, John Pauler, etc.)

  • Tools (Excel, Power BI, MySQL, Tableau, Python)

SKILLS ASSESSMENTS

The Skills Assessment tab is where you can measure your overall skill with tools like Excel, Power BI, Tableau, MySQL, or Python. Use it to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and find courses to help you close the gaps. There are different types of assessments to help you at every stage of your journey.

CREDENTIALS

The Credentials tab is where you can manage the badges you've earned by completing courses and paths, winning challenges, or achieving key milestones. Track your progress, view credential details, and share your badges to promote your accomplishments with the world!

MY PORTFOLIO

The Project Portfolio tab is where you can build your collection of projects to share and showcase to your peers, recruiters, interviewers and a wider community. These are stored in the Maven Showcase which is used by data professionals around the world. Get inspired, share feedback, and connect with top analytics talent.

GUIDED PROJECTS

The Guided Projects is where you test and apply your knowledge to specific business use cases. Your goal is to solve a pre-defined series of tasks and objectives, designed to simulate the exact types of problems that data professionals encounter on the job. Guided projects offer instructor-led solution videos as support, but it's recommended to give them your best shot on your own before consulting the solution.

DATA PLAYGROUND

The Data Playground is where you'll find free practice datasets hand-picked by the Maven team, from Spotify and IMDb to shark attacks and the Olympic games. You can search based on keywords or tags, sort based on release date or number of records, and preview tables before downloading.

PRO TIP: Each month we release a brand new dataset and host a challenge for a chance to win a free membership and other prizes. Make sure to follow @Maven Analytics on LinkedIn for updates!
