For seasoned data management experts with 10+ years of experience.
A prestigious level awarded to highly experienced professionals with significant contributions to the field.
The recommended experience levels serve as guidelines for the certification exams, except for the Master level, which has specific requirements.
Your career goals and professional experience will help determine the right CDMP level. While it’s not required, the recommended pathway begins with the Data Management Fundamentals (Associate level) exam before progressing to Practitioner or Master levels.
The Associate level is ideal for those starting or early in their data management careers, covering areas like data governance, business intelligence, and master data management. To advance to Practitioner or Master levels, you’ll need to achieve a higher percentage score on the Data Management Fundamentals exam, along with passing two additional exams, having more work experience, and fulfilling more knowledge requirements.
The time required depends on your experience and study approach. Candidates who regularly complete practice questions and practice quizzes typically take a few weeks to a few months to prepare. Those with strong business terms knowledge and prior management certification experience may be able to fast-track their preparation. The certification programs offer self-paced and instructor-led options, allowing flexibility based on your schedule.
While prior data management or business intelligence experience is helpful, it is not required for the CDMP Associate level. The certification provides a blend of business and data strategy and practical application, helping both newcomers and experienced professionals bridge knowledge gaps in areas like cloud computing, application development, and strategic asset management.
CDMP certification and training costs vary based on the learning format and specialization:
Exact costs depend on the specific learning plan or course selected. For detailed pricing, please refer directly to your chosen course or learning path.
The CDMP certification is valid for three years, after which participation in a certification maintenance program is required to maintain your status. This may include earning continuing education credits through DATAVERSITY, DCAM Certification, business contribution activities, or additional coursework.
If you do not pass the CDMP exam, you have the option to retake it. Retaking the exam costs $300 plus the proctor fee, provided that your retake occurs within the discounted retake period—typically shortly after your initial attempt.
Preparing thoroughly by reviewing practice exams, identifying knowledge gaps, and gaining additional experience can significantly improve your chances for success in subsequent attempts. Keep in mind that exam retake eligibility and discounted pricing are available for a limited time after your initial attempt. Full details about retakes, fees, and eligibility can be found through DAMA International.
