Is Analytics 301 the right course for me?

Analytics 301 is the third course that we offer in the Analytics seminar series, and you should have a basic knowledge of Analytics before attending (equivalent to Analytics 101). This is a more technical seminar than the 101 and 201 courses and assumes a basic understanding of HTML and JavaScript. Attendees with responsibilities as a web designer, developer, or webmaster, as well as anyone who desires a deeper understanding of how Google Analytics works and how it is implemented, will benefit from this seminar.
