Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Two-Day Bootcamp structured?

The Two-Day Bootcamp is intended to be intensive without being overwhelming. It is best for DAMA groups or other organizations where members already possess familiarity with Data Management best practices. We plan for 9 hours on Day 1 and 7.5 hours on Day 2, which includes training, breaks, and two mock exam on Day 2. We suggest that DAMA groups consider holding a pay-if-you-pass CDMP exam at the end of Day 2.


What are the options for running the Bootcamp?

The Bootcamp can be virtual (i.e., all participants on Zoom), hybrid (i.e., participants gathered together in a physical space with the instructor on Zoom), or in-person (includes reasonable travel costs for instructor). Our CDMP trainers are based in the east coast of the United States.

"I've owned the DMBOK and used it as a reference since 2018. It is a dense book. I've used it multiple times, and I seem to find something new all the time. It's a lot of information, and it can be confusing, so thank you — hats off to Data Strategy Professionals."

Why should your team members take the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) Exam?

Learn to manage data as a strategic asset with the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) exam from Data Management Association International (DAMA). The CDMP is the best certification for Data Strategy, a crucial discipline that spans end-to-end management of the data lifecycle as well as associated aspects of data governance and key considerations of data ethics.

The CDMP Fundamentals Exam confers expertise across 14 key areas related to Data Strategy. The test is open book, but the 100 questions on the exam must be completed within 90 minutes — not a lot of time to be looking things up. Therefore, it's important to be extremely familiar with the reference material.

The CDMP is a valuable credential for Data Governance specialists, Data Quality engineers, Data Architects, Database Administrators, IT Professionals, Data Stewards, Data Analysts, Data Scientists, and really anyone who works with data or wants to understand how to use data more effectively.
