Live lectures will be at Tuesdays 5:30pm Pacific Standard Time / 8:30pm EST. Additional lecture times may be added based on student demand.

Lectures will be recorded so you can catch up on any content you missed. Further, since you have lifetime access, you can also catch the next time the lecture is scheduled.

This course is designed to be completed in about 2-3 hours per week. The range really depends on how much time you want to invest in your assignments and peer-review. 

Since access is lifetime, you are welcome to pause and resume the course at any time.

The DMBOK2 is not strictly necessary for course completion. It is recommended that students preparing for the CDMP exam purchase the DMBOK2 guide.

Purchase is available here:

Besides the new knowledge and skills you mean? Students who complete all the coursework will be eligible for a Data Management Fundamentals Certificate which you can share on your resume or with your networks.

DAMA's CDMP has three levels:
(1) Associate - take 1 exam (60% minimum score)
(2) Practitioner - take 3 exams (70% minimum score)
(3) Master - take 3 exams (80% minimum score) and demonstrate 10 years' experience

My course helps you prepare for the Data Management Fundamentals exam, which is needed for all levels of CDMP certification. 

The CDMP requires a passing grade on a Data Management Fundamentals exam and - if you're going for Practitioner or Master level - two Specialty Exams.  Each exam costs $311 USD and can be taken online. These exam costs are payable directly to DAMA and are not included in this course.

No. This course does not include any programming assignments.

While experience using R, python, and SQL, for example, to manipulate data may help you understand some concepts, it's not necessary to succeed in this course.

Lectures will be recorded and made available for your review within 24 hours. You can catch up at your convenience.

You have lifetime access to this course and all its materials. That means while it is designed to be completed over a 12-week period, you are free to finish at your own pace.

Absolutely. In addition to a practice exam, this course includes quizzes after every chapter. 

The journey is yours! In order to maintain the integrity of the course, however, only students who have completed all assignments will be eligible for a completion certificate.

DAMA is engaged in the process of reviewing the DMBOK2 with the intent to create a new edition - the DMBOK3. This version will come into effect in 2027. All students of the Data Fundamentals Course will get to access my DMBOK3 materials for free.
