Course Overview

After more than 10 years in service, Universal Analytics has finally been replaced by Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Google recently announced that Universal Analytics will stop collecting data on 1 July 2023, which means setting up a Google Analytics 4 property now is highly recommended, in order to start collecting data.

Running a GA4 property from now will provide marketers and analysts with a more seamless transfer from Universal Analytics to GA4 and will mitigate against any potential data loss.

GA4 not only looks different to Universal Analytics, but it also has some fundamental differences under the bonnet. Among other things, it’s better built for a cookieless future, it integrates websites and apps into a single customer journey view, it offers customisable reporting, and out-of-the-box it offers enhanced measurement. However, despite GA4’s advanced features, it still requires configuring in order to maximise the quality of data reporting.

This GA4 course will take you through the process of setting up, configuring and using the tool to gain maximum benefit from it. You will learn how to use its out-of-the-box features, as well as ways to customise it for your own specific reporting needs.

Be ready for the future of digital analytics and book your place today!

What people say

We had a day's in-house training on GA4. It was such a useful session and we all learnt a lot. Jonathan went at a pace suitable for all of us who had different levels of knowledge. We had some great discussions about the ways GA4 could work for our organisation. Overall. it was an insightful and very helpful day, I'd really recommend it.

Rosie Trousdell, Senior Digital Campaigns Adviser

An invaluable course for any user of Google Analytics...whatever level you're at.

Owain Kimber, Content Designer

Really insightful training. The hands-on exercises helped in understanding some hard to grasp theoretical concepts. GA4 (and GTM) appeared to be more complicated than now I see them to be. Now we just have to get started with these tools and gain deeper practical understanding as we go

Dan Strugnell, Head of PPC
Bright Blue day

I really enjoyed and valued my Google Analytics 4 training from Emarketeers. Jonathan was a fantastic deliverer and produced an insightful and engaging day's training that I both enjoyed and took away plenty of learnings from. I'm looking forward to getting started with GA4 and starting to implement some of the tactics and approaches we were shown. Thank you!
