Data Quality Certification
The Informatica family of data quality products delivers authoritative and pervasive data quality to all stakeholders, projects, and data domains for all projects and applications—on premise or in the cloud. With Data Quality Certification, you increase your value in proactively monitoring and cleansing data and in empowering the business to share in the responsibility for data quality and governance.
There are three levels of Data Quality Certification to correlate with the "what, how, and why" of Informatica product implementations:
- Associate. You undertake Informatica product training and pass a written exam, proctored in person or via Webcam. As an Associate, you understand the product (the what) and can contribute to a project as a junior team member.
- Professional. Following field experience, you take a proctored, high-stakes performance exam in a physical or virtual proctored environment, successfully applying Informatica technology to solve a particular problem (the how). When you pass this exam, you are an Informatica Certified Professional and qualified to contribute to a project team as a full team member.
- Expert. As an Informatica Certified Professional, you aspire to the highest level of product knowledge and elect to undertake Informatica Velocity Best Practices Training and Certification (the why).
