FAQs

What is data governance?

Data governance is the practice of managing and organizing data within an organization to ensure its accuracy, availability, integrity, and security. It covers how data is handled across its lifecycle — from privacy and quality to the frameworks that keep it secure and compliant with regulatory standards.

Why is data governance important?

Interest in data governance has doubled since 2022, and for good reason: it's central to staying compliant and making informed decisions. Strong data governance practices help organizations ensure the integrity and accuracy of their data, strengthen security, build customer trust, drive compliance, and support better decision-making across every team that relies on data.

How much do DataCamp Certifications cost?

DataCamp Certification is included with your premium subscription, so there are no additional costs. When you subscribe you will have access to learning materials to prepare for your certification, practice assessments and exams and the certification itself.

Does DataCamp provide materials to prepare for Certification?

Yes! As part of your subscription, you will have access to our content library that includes hundreds of hours of courses, practice and projects. You won't need to complete it all though. We have curated a series of tracks that will guide you through building the core skills you will need for certification — the Data Governance Fundamentals track is the direct preparation route for this certification. Once you feel ready, we also provide a range of resources to help you prepare for the exams themselves, giving you a chance to experience the process before you start.

When do I have to take the exams?

For DataCamp Certifications you can take the exams whenever you want. Just like the rest of the DataCamp platform, we have designed the certification process so that you can fit it into your schedule. Once you start the exam, you will have 45 minutes to complete it, and you will have 30 days overall to complete all of the requirements. Otherwise, the process is designed so that everyone has the opportunity to get certified.

How long are DataCamp Certifications valid for?

Our Fundamentals Certifications do not expire. As they are designed to show proficiency of fundamental knowledge that is unlikely to change over time.
