Free learning initiative
A free Tableau crash course, from a raw table to a chart people understand
Tableau is how a lot of teams turn a spreadsheet into something a manager can read in ten seconds. Jobaaj Learnings is making this crash course free for every student — connecting data, building charts on the Marks card, and filtering, animating and annotating them.
No payment step. Open the first lesson straight away.

What you'll learn
Build charts the way an analyst actually builds them
Every chart in Tableau is a decision about where a field goes. This course teaches those decisions — which shelf, which mark, which filter — until you can take any table to a clear, interactive view.
Dimensions and measures
The two kinds of field Tableau sorts everything into, and why discrete (blue) and continuous (green) change what the same field draws.
The Marks card
Colour, colour scales, size, labels, detail and tooltip — the controls that turn a plain bar chart into one that answers a question.
Scatter plots and highlights
Plot two measures against each other, and use the date highlighter to pull one period out of a busy chart.
Filters that behave
The filter interface, wildcard, condition and top-N filters, and context filters — including why the order filters run in changes the answer.
Pages, animation and publishing
Step through time with the Pages shelf, animate the transitions, annotate what matters, and publish your workbook to the cloud to share it.
Why it's free
We built this to be learned from, not sold.
A lot of people who need a skill like this are exactly the people least able to pay for it — students between semesters, freshers before a first job, anyone rebuilding after a break. So we took the fee off.
01
The whole course, not a preview
Every lesson is open from the start. There's no locked second half and no upgrade waiting three modules in.
02
Free because it should be, not for a window
This isn't a promotional price or a trial. There's no clock on it and no fee arriving later.
03
Built to the same standard as the rest
Nothing was trimmed to make it free. It is the same material, at the same depth, as everything else we teach.
04
Yours to keep
Come back to a lesson next month or next year. Access doesn't expire and nothing gets pulled behind a paywall.

Questions people ask before starting
Yes. Jobaaj Learnings provides it free of cost. There’s no fee to start, no trial period that ends, and no payment step anywhere in the flow.
None. The course starts from the very beginning and builds up from there, so you can begin with no prior experience in the subject.
Yes. Every lesson is recorded, so you can pause, rewind and come back whenever it fits around classes or work. There’s no schedule to keep up with.
No. The first lesson shows you how to download and install Tableau, and you can follow the whole course with the free version. The resources lesson gives you the practice files used on screen.
No. It helps to have seen a table of rows and columns before, but the course starts from connecting a data source and explains dimensions and measures before any chart is built.
This course covers the core: the interface, dimensions and measures, the Marks card, filters, Pages, animation and annotation. Calculated fields and level-of-detail expressions are beyond its scope — the Power BI and SQL crash courses, both free, are good next steps for calculations.
Connect a data source, build and format bar, stacked and scatter charts, control colour, size, labels and tooltips on the Marks card, apply wildcard, top-N and context filters, animate a chart over time with Pages, and publish your workbook to share it.
