"There's so much content out there—how do I find what's actually good?"
"My team needs to learn data visualization, but I don't have time to build training from scratch. There are thousands of videos, tutorials, and courses on YouTube, Udemy, and Coursera—but which ones are actually worth recommending? I spent three hours last week just comparing options, and I'm still not sure I picked the right ones."

What you'll get
Here's an L&D manager finding data visualization resources for their team:
Your Request
"Find beginner-friendly data visualization content, under 15 hours total, focused on business dashboards. Budget up to $100 per person. Need something our marketing team can complete in 2 weeks."
Curated Recommendations
Hands-on course covering dashboard design, chart selection, and storytelling with data. Perfect for marketing analytics.
Comprehensive free series from a Microsoft MVP. Covers pivot tables, charts, and interactive dashboards in Excel.
Part of IBM Data Science certificate. Covers matplotlib, seaborn, and Folium. More technical—best if team has Python basics.
My recommendation: Start with the free YouTube playlist to build Excel skills, then use the Udemy course for Tableau if you want interactive dashboards. The Coursera option is overkill unless your team already knows Python. Want me to save these to a learning path?
