The Complete Digital Marketing Course – 12 Courses in 1 vs Power BI Essential Training

Twelve disciplines in 23 hours gives beginners a coherent map of digital marketing, but each channel averages under two hours. The Google Analytics module was built on Universal Analytics, retired by Google in July 2023, leaving a material gap for learners in 2025–2026.

Daragh Walsh is consistently singled out for clear, analytical explanations and responsive Q&A. Rob Percival's Codestars brand carries broad recognition. Reviewer frustrations centre on scope and currency rather than delivery quality.

At $11.99 on sale, twelve channels for less than a lunch bill is the consensus judgment. Even at the $89.99 full price the breadth-to-cost ratio outperforms single-channel courses. Lifetime access and periodic updates reinforce the value case.

Each module includes projects, checklists and downloadable resources. Reviewers report applying the frameworks to freelance pitches and small-business planning. The limit is depth — projects are introductory exercises rather than full campaign builds.

Useful for interviews and freelance proposals. YourDigitalAid's reviewer explicitly flags the gap — the course equips you to hold your own in an interview but not to independently run paid campaigns and generate revenue from a website.

Solid coverage of the Power BI Desktop surface — Get Data, Power Query, basic modelling, intro DAX, visuals and publishing. Depth stops short of advanced DAX, row-level security and deployment pipelines.

Gini von Courter is one of LinkedIn Learning's most prolific Microsoft instructors with 250+ courses across Office, SharePoint and Power Platform. Reviewers describe her delivery as calm, methodical and enterprise-friendly.

Included in the LinkedIn Learning subscription (~$40/month) and bundled with LinkedIn Premium. HN commenters repeatedly flag US public-library access as the cheapest path. Power BI Desktop itself is free.

Coherent walkthrough of the everyday workflow — connect, shape in Power Query, model, write basic DAX, build visuals, publish. Stops short of advanced DAX, time intelligence and dataflows.

Power BI is the dominant BI tool in Microsoft-heavy enterprises and the common next step after Excel for finance, ops and analyst roles. Maps cleanly onto what a junior analyst builds week one.
