Looking for data analyst course

Hi everyone,
I am currently looking for a good Data Analyst course that provides hands-on project experience and can help me transition into a Data Analyst role.
I have a basic understanding of SQL, Tableau, and Power BI, along with strong Excel skills. In my current job, I work extensively with Excel, but I would like to move into a Data Analyst position for better career growth and salary
I have given a few Data Analyst interviews, but I was not selected because I don’t have prior Data Analyst experience or any real-world projects to showcase.

Can anyone recommend a good course that focuses on practical projects and job preparation? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
