TABLEAU FUNDAMENTALS | Two-Day Workshop

Give us three hours for two afternoons or evenings, and walk away with fundamental
Tableau skills. Learn why Tableau is the leading tool to enhance the way you analyze and restructure your data—and how to actually use it.

Think of this workshop as a low-risk way to test the waters of a data analytics career, or to get the skills to start performing your own data analysis in your current role. We can’t think of a good reason not to have Tableau skills in your professional toolkit.

Next Steps

QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.

We get it, sometimes life gets in the way. If you’re unable to attend a workshop you signed up for, let us know at least a week before the start date and you’ll get a full refund. If you need to cancel within one week of the workshop, you’ll be eligible for a credit to transfer to the next session. Reach out to help@ga.co if you need to cancel or reschedule a workshop.
Look out for an email one day before, and one hour before the workshop with the Zoom link and workshop materials. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder or reach out to help@generalassemb.ly and we’ll make sure you’re set up.
Our workshops are split into two evening sessions that are each three hours long. Workshops typically take place on a Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday, from 3–6 p.m. PT/6–9 p.m. ET.
Don’t worry, we know life can be hectic — and unpredictable. If you can only make one session, you'll still have access to the recordings for the entire workshop that you can reference at any time.
You bet — we want you to continue practicing and referencing the things you learned long after your workshop ends. You should receive the recording and any in-class materials within one week of your workshop via email.
We don’t think access to education (especially education you’ve paid for) should ever be cut off, so all of our workshop recordings are available indefinitely — you can revisit the content as often as you want, for as long as you need.
YES. We love this for you. If you enroll in a short course within six months, or a bootcamp within one year of your workshop, you can apply what you paid for the workshop toward your course. Talk to an admissions specialist to learn more about this — no strings attached.
Think of free classes as the “sample spoon.” No cost, no commitment, and you can try as many flavors as you want. Free classes are two hours long and hosted in a Zoom webinar where participant audio/video is automatically off, and interaction is contained within Zoom chat and Q&A functions. Workshops, on the other hand, are more like the “single scoop.” It costs a little, but you get a lot more. Workshops are six hours of live instruction hosted in a Zoom meeting room where participants can share audio/video and interact live with instructors and classmates.
1 REFUND POLICY
We understand that, sometimes, plans change. If you can no longer make it to a class or workshop, please email us at least 7 days before the scheduled event date. No refunds will be given to cancellations made within a week of the class or workshop.
