What field is your 2+ years experience in? If it's mobile dev, then you should definitely go for the advanced degree. And even if you didn't do a lot of Android, yet, I'd probably still prefer the non-basic course. Everything is very well explained and, in my opinion, easily comprehensible with "intermediate" programming skills.

Thank you for this article, it's very informative. When you say "intermediate", would someone with 1-2 years of Java be competent with this course? I have made simple Object Oriented Programs but not much beyond this. I'm making very simple Android apps at the moment off of YouTube tutorials and I want to start this course soon.

I'd say with 1-2 years of Java experience and some basic Android knowledge from tutorials, you should be good to go with the Advanced Android ND. Maybe you will have to look things up occasionally, but it's definitely not an expert course.
