The three-day Certified Data Vault Data Modeler training teaches you how to design scalable, flexible and future-proof data warehouses using the globally recognised Data Vault methodology.
In this English-language training, developed and delivered by our partner Genesee Academy, you dive into the building blocks of Data Vault modelling and learn how to apply them within modern data architectures such as Data Mesh, Data Lakehouses and hybrid environments.

What can you expect?

You follow a powerful combination of e-learning, classroom sessions and interactive exercises. You work with realistic use cases, dive into techniques such as CBC (Consistent Business Key), NBR (Non-Breaking Record) and RDH (Raw Data History), and learn how to design robust, traceable and auditable data models. At the end of the training, you sit an internationally recognised exam.

What will you learn?

After this training:

  • You understand the core principles of Data Vault modelling;

  • You can apply CBC, NBR, RDH and other Data Vault concepts effectively;

  • You are able to design data models that are scalable, flexible and maintainable;

  • You know how to integrate Data Vault within modern environments such as Data Lakes, Mesh or cloud-based architectures;

  • You have all the knowledge to pass the Certified Data Vault Data Modeler exam.

Training setup

The training is delivered in English by the certified and experienced trainers of Genesee Academy. You complete a self-study programme in advance and work with hands-on assignments during the classroom sessions.

3. Certification: prove your expertise

After the training you take an online proctored exam (2.5 hours, closed book).

You pick your own exam date. The exam tests your knowledge of:

  • Data Vault concepts and applications

  • Ensemble Modeling

  • Practical modelling and business alignment

Language: exam in English; answers may also be given in Dutch.
Result: you receive your official certificate within 4 to 6 weeks.
Resit: free, by arrangement.
