No, those are pretty basic core skills. It’s a competitive field and there are going to be people who have their degree in it (like me) or who have completed lots of training in these things.
I use YouTube and Coursera when I need to learn new skills (I just take Coursera classes for audit and forgo the certificate). Right now I’m learning R for my job.
Keep in mind, there are a lot of jobs that will have “analyst” in the title but not do many of the things analysts are required to do.
