How to Get Hands-On Experience for Tableau Certification?

Currently, my company is pushing for me to get Tableau certified (we're a consulting firm). I’ve been in the Salesforce industry for about five years now, and we’re seeing a growing trend where more of our clients are requesting Tableau implementations.

I’m looking into the Data Analyst certification, but I don’t have much experience with Tableau yet. As I’m going through the fundamentals, everything feels pretty straightforward so far—probably due to my general tech background.

My question is: How can I get hands-on experience with features like Tableau Insights, Pulse, Tableau Site, and Tableau Cloud? These seem to be part of the exam, and I don’t want to just rely on reading study guides. Right now, I’m using Tableau Public, but I’m looking for other ways to practice with these tools.
