Practical Data Modelling
Learn data modelling concepts to understand your data – and ensure a shared view across your organisation.
What is data modelling?
Data modelling is a fundamental practice to identify and organise the data an organisation collects. Data modelling concepts help you reach a common understanding of data and its relationships – so that you can successfully implement business or IT projects, design databases, integrate systems, and resolve data quality issues.

Who is this course for?
This course is suitable for those working in or alongside data modelling. It’s also a great way to train for a career move into data modelling. While we teach data modelling concepts from the ground up, some knowledge of data management and DMBoK – such as our Data Management Overview course – is helpful but not essential.
