The Data Science Governance course provides comprehensive coverage of the common precepts, processes and organizational roles associated with governing training data, production datasets, as well as models processed by end-to-end data analytics pipeline stages and model asset lifecycle stages. The course describes 65 different precepts and processes associated with individual stages, and further maps these governance controls to common organizational roles. The course concludes with a collection of exercises that demonstrate the application of governance controls in different real-world scenarios. This course can be used to prepare for the Data Science Governance Specialist Certification exam.

Complete the Data Science Governance course and, optionally, get accredited as a Certified Data Science Governance Specialist by passing the certification exam. You can purchase the course now and get the exam later, or you can get them together at a discount as part of the Certification Bundle.

Upon completing the course you will receive a digital certificate of completion, as well as a digital training badge from Acclaim/Credly. Because this course encompasses both the Big Data Professional and Data Science Governance Specialist certifications, upon passing the exam you will also receive official Big Data Professional and Data Science Governance Specialist digital accreditation certificates and certification badges from Acclaim/Credly, along with an account that can be used to verify your certification status.

If you already completed the Big Data Professional course modules, you can purchase a partial course (or a partial bundle) with only the modules specific to the Data Science Governance Specialist track here.
