The level of CDMP is based on your mark obtained in the
DM Fundamentals exam:
All organisations need certainty that the people who are
managing this important strategic asset are qualified.
Professional certification is an indication of knowledge, skills
and experience in a field. DAMA International has
constructed the Certified Data Management Professional
(CDMP) designation. The certification program gives data
management professionals the opportunity to show
professional growth that can enhance their personal and
career goals.
Professionals participate in continuing education to stay
current with best practices and to further develop
specialised skills. Most data management training is
generally focused on developing skills with specific
technology products. The focus on technical training can
mask the fact that Data Management is a business function.
Although all the CDMP exams may be paid for by credit card
and taken online (https://cdmp.info/), Velisa Africa Academy
hosts pre-paid exam sessions for the DAMA CDMP®
certifications in Southern Africa. These sessions are for
people who are being sponsored by their companies or
people who wish to sit the exam in an exam centre.
Cost: R5050 excl VAT per exam.
