Can I take an exam multiple times?
You can take each exam up to six times. However, each exam license that you purchase entitles you to three attempts. If you fail on all 3 attempts, you can purchase an additional exam license, and thus make up to three more attempts, by contacting
support@elearningcurve.com. We believe that attempting an exam more than 6 times is not productive.
How do I get enrolled in the program?
The most convenient and cost-efficient method to enroll in one of our CDMC Packages. Some packages allow you to simultaneously earn a CIMP or DCAM designation.
What do I get upon earning the CDMC designation?
EDM Council issues a digital badge for Certification to all students who complete the CDMC Framework training and exam, respectively. These credentials are a validated presentation of accomplishment, skill and quality. They are managed by a third party providing independent validation of the credentials. The recipient can display the badges in their CV, correspondence signature or on profile sites such as LinkedIn. EDM Council’s certification of CDMC is a well-recognized credential in the cloud data management profession across multiple industries.
Is CDMC Certification associated with a particular version of CDMC?
CDMC Certification is associated with the major version of CDMC. CDMChas both a major and a minor version. The major version is incremented when there are significant structural and content changes to the model. Once released, a major versions does not change for at least 2 years (often longer). The minor version is incremented when there are small changes to the model that clarify or correct model content. Once released, a minor version does not change for at least 6 month. Minor releases do not impact CDMC Certification. Changes to CDMC are produced by industry work groups facilitated by EDM Council. They are reviewed extensively by EDM Council members prior to release.
Announcements regarding new CDMC version releases will be announced on the EDM Council Web site at https://edmcouncil.org/.
How long is my certification valid?
The EDM Council supports the current and previous major versions of CDMC. Consequently, if you are certified on the current version (for example, CDMC v1) your certification will be valid until CDMC v3 is released.
How do I get re-certified on a new CDMC version when it is released?
Certification is specific to the major version of CDMC. Certification remains
valid while the associated major version of CDMC is supported. The
EDM Council supports the current and previous major versions. Students who are DCAM certified and wish to re-certify on the newest version of CDMC must take the exam for that version. To prepare for the exam students will have the opportunity to either take a full course on the new version (at a 50% discount off the regular list price) or a shorter course which outlines the changes included in the newest version.
