Because I know Charles is an established Google Analytics thought leader, learning from him in this Google Analytics 4 course gave me confidence that I would learn all of the important GA4 concepts that I must understand to be successful with it. Also, he presents at a pace that helps increase my ability to absorb more of what he is teaching. I highly recommend this course.

Chris Mercer’s chill, engaging way of teaching is amazing. You can really tell this is his jam and he loves what he does. I would absolutely do another course with him again.

Our Growth Marketing agency has completed 1298 lessons and 138 courses at the Institute so far. CXL helps us in a number of ways:
1. Provides an incredible source of content to train our staff.
2. Is a good tool in keeping our staff (they’re growing and we aid in that).
3. Is an awesome source of new opinions/methods to try out on our clients.

Using the techniques and strategies in CXL, I now have a method and foundation to support my work.
It gives me the confidence to believe I am moving in the right direction, that I am investing my time effectively and efficiently (AKA not guessing anymore).

I thought I was quite proficient at analytics, but taking this course was a huge, well-deserved slice of humble pie.
It took me from the top of mount stupid, down into the valley of despair, and across to the foothills of the slope of enlightenment. Worth the time.
Sebastian Grünwaldt
Overall top notch content, reaching pro/guru level towards the end… a very ambitious degree to reach!
Crystal Ignatowski, Marketing Content Developer @ Surety Solutions
I’ll be honest, I didn’t entirely understand what the CXL was at first. Then, I realized it was a gold mine. The Institute is jam-packed with courses, certificate programs, and recordings of past events/courses. The CXL was my guide book for many many months and because of that, I am leaps and bounds above the rest. Everything the Institute publishes is part of the top 5%. There is no fluff in the Institute; only real, actionable, and result-driven content. If you think you know stuff, give the CXL a try. You’ll be shocked at how much you have to gain.

Definitely received gains from the minidegree.
What I learned in the Tag Management section, I’ve already been able to apply. Also, the information on Regex and the Excel for marketers section have made my work easier and really has saved me several hours so far.
I feel it was time well spent. I now have a good understanding of GA, Tag Management, and overall it gave me a pretty complete understanding of how web analytics works (something I did not have before taking this course).

Is this program right for me?
It’s ideal for
- Full-stack marketers / marketing generalists who want to specialize
- People who want to join growth teams
- UX folks working with data and want to get better at it
- Conversion optimization specialists who want to level up in analytics
The skills you gain are industry-agnostic: you can apply them equally well in ecommerce, SaaS or B2B enterprises.
This program is designed to take participants from novice to advanced level specialists. Being a naturally analytical person helps as do technical skills. Interest in analytics and curiosity in general is a must.
You don’t need to be able to write javascript code, but tech skills will help you be a better analyst – so we do recommend you learn javascript down the line. Codeacademy has great free courses on it.
How long will it take me to complete this program?
This is entirely up to you – it’s how many hours per week you can put in. If you have 2-4 hrs / week available for learning, it might take you around 8 months. If you can do 10-15 hrs / week, you can knock it out in 2 months.
