CDMP · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP®) is a data management certification program run by DAMA International®, a not-for-profit association that describes itself as the certifying body for the CDMP®. The credential is built around three progressive levels - Associate, Practitioner and Master - which DAMA states reflect knowledge of data management practices, experience applying them, and professional development goals, and which are "progressive in depth-not tied to job titles or organizational rank." Associate is positioned for students and early-career professionals building a foundation; Practitioner for people actively working in areas such as data governance, data quality, metadata, architecture, modeling or stewardship; and Master for experienced professionals who lead or significantly influence data management capabilities in their organizations. The CDMP case studies are 5 cases and about 3,788 words.
