Most asked questions

What’s included?

All course materials, exercises, and guidance for the optional certification exam.

How long is the course?

It’s a two-day interactive workshop, with plenty of breaks and conversation built in.

How much does it cost?

This depends on the size of the group. When you register interest, we'll tailor a quote to meet your needs. 

Do we need to be EDM Association members?

Yes - DCAM training is available only to member organisations. If you want to join, we can help you get set up with the right contact - just get in touch with us and we'll help. 

How is this different from public EDM Association training sessions?

In private classes, we use the same core materials, but bring decades of experience in data, analytics and AI, plus dozens of DCAM and CDMC assessments into the conversation. That means we make it more practical and directly relevant to your context. If you’ve already done a DCAM Assessment with us, we’ll customise the training to your organisation’s exact capability descriptions.

Is it suitable for non-technical team members?

Absolutely. DCAM is about how organisations manage data, not just technology. It’s valuable for business, governance and technical teams alike.

Do I need DCAM experience beforehand?

Not at all. We start from the ground up with clear explanations and real-world examples.

Can you do it remotely?

Yes. We offer in-person and virtual sessions. We prefer being in the same room for richer interaction, but we’ll adapt to your needs and time zones.

Is there an exam and do I need to take it?

The final DCAM exam is optional. If you take and pass the online exam (70% pass rate), you'll earn an official DCAM certification and Credly badge that you can show off on LinkedIn and email signatures. 

What happens when new versions are released?

When new versions launch, you'll need to do an Upgrade course to keep your certification. These are shorter courses meant to refresh knowledge and update you on what's new.
