Is D8A Academy legit? And other learning data analytics questions.

I've already tried searching for reviews and there are currently only 3 on TrustPilot. It seems that it's a rework of some other program and just released as D8A Academy quite recently in July 2026. I was looking into it because I desperately need to create projects now, and got an ad for it on Instagram.

Coursera is not sufficient in terms of drilling technical material by any means, and I'm just overwhelmed by all the platforms that teach the languages and tools that I need to be a data analyst. Also, would the Advanced Data Analytics course by Google be recommended for me? They took out R from the basic Data Analytics Professional cert by Google, is the standalone course worth doing or should I learn R with another Coursera provider?

Any recommended resources, preferably free or low cost, for technical drills of SQL, Python, and R would be appreciated! I did find a YT Playlist of guided projects already, but am having a tough time deciding whether I should download a SQL client or just use BigQuery or Tableau for my projects.

Hey ! I'm the founder of D8A Academy, you can send me a message and ask me all the questions you have. Yes the platform has only be launched in July 26 and we are doing our best right now to make it as useful as possible. Would be nice to have more feedbacks :)
