Looker Studio course in Spanish: review

Our analysis

This is a Spanish-language course for learning Looker Studio, Google's free dashboard tool, from scratch. We would recommend it to small teams, marketers and analysts who need shareable reports without paying for licenses, because according to the description you build your own dashboards connected to Google Sheets, SQL, Google Analytics and other sources.

Who it is for

• Marketing and e-commerce people who report on Google Analytics or campaign data.
• Small businesses and founders who want dashboards without BI licensing costs.
• Analysts who currently send static spreadsheet charts and want reports that refresh on their own.

What it covers

• The building blocks of Looker Studio, formerly Data Studio.
• Building your own dashboards step by step.
• Connecting data sources such as Google Sheets, SQL databases and Google Analytics.
• Bringing in data processed with Python, as the description mentions.
• Ways to present data clearly to stakeholders.

What to keep in mind

• The course is taught in Spanish.
• The description focuses on why the tool is useful and on the instructor's experience, but does not list the syllabus module by module. Check it on Udemy before enrolling.
• Looker Studio is free and simple, but it has limits compared with Power BI in data modeling and complex calculations. Heavy analysis may need another tool.
• Some third-party connectors are paid; the zero cost applies to Google's native connectors.

Where it fits in a path

You will get more from this course if you arrive with the basics from "How to learn Excel for work", especially tables and formulas, and, if you plan to connect databases, some of "How to learn SQL from scratch". In the "Data analyst roadmap", Looker Studio plays the same role as Power BI: the visualization layer. If your company runs on Microsoft or you need stronger data models, look at "How to learn Power BI from scratch" next; if it lives in Google Workspace, this course may be enough to get started.
