The DMBoK and CDMP Specialist Deep Dive: Data Modeling three-day live online training explains the fundamental building blocks of Data Modeling. It will help students to understand the differences between relational and dimensional models, and be able to describe the purpose of enterprise, conceptual, logical, and physical data models. Attendees will learn how to create conceptual and logical models, and understand the compromises frequently necessary for good physical data models. They will also learn the different approaches for fact finding and how to apply normalization techniques.

Often misunderstood and relegated to just the technical aspect of “database design,” Data Modeling is one of the most important disciplines of Data Management. Taught by instructor Christopher Bradley (a CDMP Fellow), this course introduces students to Data Modeling, its purpose, the different types of models, how to construct and read a data model, and the wider use of data models beyond the traditional area of database design. It also goes into best practices, practical applications, and implementation of Data Modeling at enterprise levels.

The training presents methods and practices for addressing key Data Modeling challenges. It is grounded in the industry standard DAMA International Data Management Body of Knowledge (DmBoK).

The training also prepares attendees to take the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) Data Modeling Specialist exam that is necessary for the attainment of the Practitioner and Master levels.

The DAMA International-endorsed live online training was developed with DAMA International, DATAVERSITY, and Christopher Bradley, the VP of Professional Development at DAMA.
