Most asked questions

What is the CDMC framework?

It’s an open framework from the EDM Association that defines best practice for managing and protecting data in cloud environments. It includes 14 key controls that help organisations govern cloud data securely and responsibly. Learn more about CDMC →

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?

No, it doesn't. CDMC is an open-sourced license by the EDM Association, so anyone can use it and be trained on it. 

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 CDMC Assessment with us, we’ll customise the training to your organisation’s control descriptions.

Is it suitable for non-technical team members?

Yes, absolutely! CDMC is about managing data across the business, not just the tech. It’s ideal for governance, compliance, business, and technical teams alike.

Do I need prior CDMC knowledge?

Not at all. We start from the ground up, introducing concepts step by step, with examples drawn from real client scenarios.

Can you do it remotely?

Yes, we run both in-person and virtual sessions. In-person tends to drive deeper discussion, but we also deliver effective global sessions across multiple time zones.

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

The final CDMC exam is optional. If you'd like official certification, you can take the EDM Association's online exam at the end of the course. If you pass (70% exam mark) you'll receive a digital certificate 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.
