Description Course Outline Exam Details
 

Data profiling is the process of analyzing actual data and understanding its true structure and meaning. It is one of the most common and important activities in information management. Data profiling is the first critical step in many major IT initiatives, including implementing a data warehouse, building an MDM hub, populating metadata repository, as well as operational data migration and integration. It is also the key ingredient to successful data quality management.

While proliferation of commercial tools made data profiling accessible for most information management professionals, successful profiling projects remain elusive. This is largely because the tools allow gathering large volumes of information about data, but offer limited means and guidelines for analysis of that information.

5 of 5 Review of the Course August 10, 2023
Reviewer: Arnost Katolicky from Plzen, Czech Republic  
I must say, that the course helped me to understand the relationship between different points of view: statistics, economics, informatics, analysis, decisions and management - all this in connection with Data Quality Management and especially with Data Profiling. My university-studies were oriented to statistics. I was focused in the beginning on economics, then more and more with IS projects, and finally with management of ICT support of the decision making process.
During my enterprise practice I was active as an external university teacher and 10 years ago I started working in the field of e-learning. All this has played a role in my assessment of eLearningCurve's Data Profiling course.
The course was, for me, a very interesting and valuable combination of useful theory and best practices. The quality of the course content is very good. The presentation format (Flash video presented on-line, on-demand) is especially valuable for people with limited time for formal study.
Structuring the course in 5 modules was a good decision. The modules are organized logically - the education process flows step by step from more theoretical to more practical parts of the content.  Overviews and summaries definitely helped me to understand all the internal and external know-how relations and dependencies.
The on-line presentation is excellent. The instructor is a world-class teacher and delivers material in clear and understandable language. The course provides applied and proven methodologies. The possibility to get certificate has a motivating influence. The content matches fully the title and the description of the course.
Conclusion:
The course met my expectations fully. I recommend it with one only exception:
- I find the 30-day time limit for such important topics as absolute minimum.
Maybe it could be changed to a 2 part schema each with a 3 week period.

4 of 5 Course review August 10, 2023
Reviewer: Donna Graves from United States  
I struggled with this course. It wasn't until I dove deeper into the topic. The terms and the methods of performing data quality are so similar that it is sometimes difficult to pull out the real gem of each type.
