About CDMP

CDMP is an acronym for "Certified Data Management Professional". It is a professional certification for Information and Data Management professionals developed by the DAMA, the Data Management Association. The Certification is aimed at learners from both Technology and Business backgrounds and is aimed at helping learners develop and evidence their understanding of, and ability to apply, the principles of the Data Management Body of Knowledge, first published by DAMA in 2009.

Eligibility

The current eligibility criteria for the CDMP certification are as follows

Exam

Exam Structure and Format

The CDMP Certification has historically been obtained by sitting three exams:

  • IS Core (an exam owned by the ICCP)
  • Data Management Core
  • 1 Elective exam from the following list, which broadly reflects the structure of the DAMA DMBOK:
    • Data Warehousing
    • Business Intelligence and Analytics
    • Data & Information Quality
    • Data Development
    • Data Integration & Interoperability
    • Data Governance and Stewardship
    • Data Operations (DBA)
    • Zachman Enterprise Architecture Framework

In October 2015, DAMA International indicated that the IS Core examination would not be required in the forthcoming revised format of the CDMP.

Taking the Exam

Historically, exams have been taken either at conferences such as "Enterprise Data World" in the United States or "Enterprise Data and Business Intelligence" in the UK. Individuals seeking to take the exam could also arrange to do so via DAMA International and the administrators for the certification, ICCP.

Remote testing options using web-cam based proctoring or in-person proctoring by recognised CDMP proctors (all members of DAMA International) allowed for flexibility in taking exams.

Exams were taken in a Computer Based Testing format, with different levels of question per individual exam. Candidates could sit multiple exams at one time.

The exam format was open to criticism as it could be difficult for individuals in countries without a DAMA Chapter or access to a Proctor to sit the exams. Also, the requirement for exam candidates to use USB keys provided by ICCP to run the exam software also raised concerns and difficulties from an Information Security perspective.

In October 2015, DAMA International indicated that the format for taking the exam would change with the relaunch of the CDMP certification.

Maintaining Certification

CDMP holders must engage in continuous professional development to maintain their certifications. In general this requirement can be met through attendance at Data Management conferences, attendance at DAMA Chapter meetings, contributions to the development of the body of knowledge, and other activities that support the professional development of the CDMP holder and contributes to the development of the Body of Knowledge.

CDMP holders must recertify every three years.

Historically, recertification was administered on behalf of DAMA International by ICCP. In October 2015 DAMA International indicated it would be assuming responsibility for the recertification process and would be publishing a revised format for recertification as part of the restructuring of the CDMP certification.

Training and Education for CDMP Certification

Apart from academic courses which address the learning objectives of the CDMP, training is available from a number approved trainers and from commercial training providers.

Historically, a CDMP "Bootcamp" has been offered at various Data Management conferences worldwide that are sponsored or recognised by DAMA, and through DAMA Chapters, to facilitate candidates in their preparation for the examination.

As part of the update of the CDMP certification, DAMA has indicated that the "Boot Camp" sessions are to be revised (to reflect revised CDMP content) and rebranded as "Exam Preparation and Delivery" sessions, and that these sessions will be subject to quality control as regards content, mode of delivery, and qualifications of the person delivering the sessions.
