The DataOps Certified Professional certification is designed for data engineers, analytics engineers, and data operations professionals who want to master the principles and practices of DataOps — bridging the gap between data engineering, analytics, and operations teams. This certification covers data pipeline design and automation, orchestration with Apache Airflow and Prefect, data transformation with dbt, and data quality enforcement using Great Expectations and Soda. Participants build the skills to implement end-to-end DataOps workflows that deliver reliable, observable, and high-quality data at scale.
The DataOps Certified Professional (DCP) certification validates an individual's ability to apply DataOps principles across the full data lifecycle — from ingestion and transformation to delivery and monitoring. The program covers both the cultural and technical dimensions of DataOps: collaborative practices between data engineering, analytics, and operations teams; automated testing and CI/CD for data pipelines; lineage tracking with OpenLineage and Monte Carlo; and streaming pipelines with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. Designed for data-focused professionals working in modern cloud-native and hybrid environments, this certification is recognized as a mark of excellence in data reliability engineering.
This program is designed for data engineers, analytics engineers, data platform engineers, and data operations leads who want to formalize their DataOps expertise. It also benefits data architects, BI engineers, and DevOps professionals transitioning into data platform roles. Anyone seeking to improve data reliability, accelerate pipeline delivery, and foster collaboration across data teams will find this certification essential. Prior experience with SQL, Python, and basic data pipeline concepts is recommended.
Participants work on 3 real-time capstone projects: (1) building an orchestrated batch pipeline with Airflow, dbt, and Great Expectations including CI/CD integration; (2) instrumenting a full pipeline with OpenLineage and setting up Monte Carlo observability alerts; (3) designing a streaming analytics pipeline with Kafka and Flink that feeds a real-time dashboard. All projects are scoped to production-realistic scenarios covering data engineering, analytics, and operations collaboration.
As part of this program, you will receive a complete DataOps interview preparation kit — built from 200+ years of combined industry experience and insights from thousands of DevOpsSupport learners worldwide. The kit covers data pipeline design questions, dbt and Airflow configuration scenarios, data quality interview questions, and system design exercises for roles including Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, and Data Platform Lead.
The DataOps Certified Professional certification validates expertise in data pipeline automation, orchestration, data quality engineering, data lineage, and the cultural practices that enable fast and reliable data delivery across engineering, analytics, and operations teams.
Ideal for data engineers, analytics engineers, data platform engineers, BI developers, and DevOps professionals who work with data pipelines and want to formalize their skills with a recognized credential. Prior SQL and Python experience is recommended.
The course covers Apache Airflow, Prefect, dbt Core and Cloud, Great Expectations, Soda, OpenLineage, Marquez, Monte Carlo, Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and cloud-native DataOps services on AWS, GCP, and Azure — over 15 tools in total.
The program spans 60 hours of structured training, typically delivered at 4 hours per day over 15 days. Flexible scheduling options are available for self-paced learners who need more time to work through the material.
Participants should have working knowledge of SQL, basic Python programming, and familiarity with data warehouse or data lake concepts. Experience with any pipeline tool or cloud data service is beneficial but not required to enroll.
The certification exam includes multiple-choice questions, scenario-based questions, and practical exercises covering all 8 modules. Candidates are assessed on their ability to design, implement, and troubleshoot DataOps workflows using the tools covered in the program.
The certification is valid for 3 years. Recertification keeps your credential current with evolving DataOps practices, tooling updates, and cloud platform changes. A recertification exam is available at a reduced cost.
This certification supports roles including Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Data Platform Engineer, DataOps Lead, Data Reliability Engineer, and Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer. It is also valuable for data architects designing modern data stack architectures.
