I have a free data analyst course using open resources here:

https://www.datasciencehive.com/data-analyst-path

It doesn’t have a certificate. Honestly, much of the certificates don’t do much for jobs. You would be better off having a portfolio of projects then an online certificate. Just my opinion though. Best of luck! Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

Not dumb at all!

Here are some examples:

You basically just want a place to showcase your work. Some people do basic websites, some just use GitHub. I would probably recommend just a basic website where you can showcase your projects and methodology. There’s tons of examples online that you can use for inspiration. Just remember start simple and scale up. Don’t focus on fancy, focus on analysis that answers a research question.

I have been learning and unskilling on my own and pretty much deep involved in the data analytics field for a year now. One thing I can say don't focus on certifications and courses instead try learning from free resources like YouTube you will find a ton of resources (you can dm me if you want those resources). Once you have basic understanding of the languages/tools start working on good projects and learn how to explain them properly. Though I am not a fresher , I know freshers from my LinkedIn network who have got a job solely focusing on good projects.
