eLearningCurve.com Unveils New Data Architecture Curriculum Leading to CIMP Accreditation

Nov 12th, 2024

Master Data Management partner, eLearningCurve.com, has announced the launch of a comprehensive data architecture training curriculum culminating in the prestigious Certified Information Management Professional (CIMP) accreditation in Data Architecture.

This program equips data professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of data management architectures.

Addressing the Evolving Data Landscape

Businesses are increasingly reliant on adaptable data architectures to manage and leverage their ever-growing data assets.

However, the frameworks and principles defining data organization are constantly changing.

New architectural models like Modern Data Warehouse, Data Lake, Data Lakehouse, Data Fabric, and Data Mesh present both opportunities and challenges.

Effective data architects require the expertise to blend features from various approaches, ensuring their architecture can adapt to evolving business requirements, support legacy data use cases, and pave the way for future capabilities.

The CIMP Data Architecture Advantage

The CIMP Data Architecture Package offers a comprehensive learning experience culminating in the CIMP designation in the Data Architecture track.

This credential demonstrates mastery of the data architecture discipline through challenging exams and instruction from industry leaders.

Participants gain the necessary knowledge and skills to:

  • Design and implement hybrid data architectures that draw upon different approaches.
  • Adapt data architectures to meet evolving business needs.
  • Support legacy data use cases while simultaneously building for future capabilities.

Data Architecture Curriculum Details

The CIMP Data Architecture Package features five in-depth online courses, totalling over 20 hours of instruction delivered by world-class instructors.

Each course prepares participants for a corresponding CIMP exam with three attempts per exam. Passing the fifth exam earns participants the coveted CIMP certification.

To meet CIMP requirements, participants have 24 months to complete “Data Architecture Fundamentals”, at least two core courses, and two electives from the other eight available.

Course Highlights

  • Data Architecture Fundamentals: Explores core data architecture concepts, principles, and products through six key lenses, including business alignment, data lifecycle management, and technology.
  • Designing and Implementing Analytics Data Architecture: Examines modern data management challenges, explores modern practices and design patterns, and outlines a step-by-step process for creating a sustainable and adaptable architecture.
  • Deciphering Data Architectures: Delves into common data architecture concepts, traditional and modern data warehouse models, data fabrics, data lakehouses, and the decentralized data mesh approach.
  • Data Modelling Fundamentals: Equips participants with practical data modelling skills encompassing traditional relational modelling, key-value, document, graph, and semantic modelling.

Additional courses in the curriculum cover:

  • Data Integration Techniques for Designing an ODS
  • Introduction to Graph Databases
  • Knowledge Graph Architecture for the Enterprise
  • MDM Fundamentals: Architecture and Implementation
  • Operational Data Architecture (Parts 1 & 2)
  • Streaming Data: Concepts, Applications, and Use Cases

Equipping the Modern Data Architect

The CIMP Data Architecture Package empowers data professionals with the critical knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of modern data architectures.

With comprehensive online training and the valuable CIMP accreditation, you can gain the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement, and manage data architecture strategies that drive success in today’s data-driven organizations.
