Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning

Are you ready to become a Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP)? The CDMP is a post-graduate certification for individuals with the appropriate work experience in the Data Management industry. To become a CDMP you need to pass 3 exams, of which IS Core and DM Core are mandatory, sufficient education and pratical experience in Data Management

To find out if you are ready to become certified, simply answer the following questions:

Have you spent at least 4 years in a full time data management position?
Do you have a least 4 years practical data management experience?
Do you have education in a data management/ IS field?
Are you familiar with the DMBok (Data Management Body of Knowledge)?
Do you have a better than average knowledge of Information Systems?


If you answered yes to all of these questions and feel ready, then you can take the exams with a qualified DAMA SA Board of Directors Proctor.

If you have answered yes, but you're unsure if you could sit the exams and pass then join us on a "CDMP Bootcamp".

Alternatively you may want to consider the self-study option. DAMA SA can provide you with sample tests and course notes to help you.

If you don't have enough experience; haven't seen the DMBoK; do not have an IS background, then try doing the CDMP in 18 months.

When you take the exams, you will be required to provide a CV giving your relevant education AND experience. Your CV and ICCP regisration form, together with your exam results (signed by both Proctor and Student) will be sent to the ICCP. DAMA I and the ICCP are the final arbiters of your eligibility to become a CDMP. If you score at least 50% in all the exams, have the appropriate experience AND education, you qualify for a practitioner level. You need to get least 70% in all your exams, along with the appropriate experience AND eductaion to qualify as a master. Please note that DAMA I and the ICCP reserve the right to contact your local DAMA Chapter and have your CV verified/confirmed.
