Learn about the steps

The Enterprise Big Data Framework Accreditation Process

In order to become an Accredited Training Partner, you will need to take the following steps:

Step 1 | Achieve Trainer Certification

You will first need to identify a trainer who will pass the Big Data Framework Certification with an elevated pass mark of 75%. Exam can be taken either online or through another training partner.

Step 2 | Apply to Become a Partner

In this step, you fill out your interest to become a Big Data Accredited Training Partner. We will conduct a check whether your organization would be a suitable training provider to deliver Enterprise Big Data training. If you are already an accredited partner with APMG International, this step can be skipped.

step 3 | Pass the Trainer Knowledge Interview

As a last step, the selected trainer should pass a knowledge interview with one of the globally accredited assessors. During this assessment, the trainer will be assessed on training skills and subject-matter expertise.

Step 4 | Start Offering Big Data Certification Courses

After the last step, your organization will become a official Accredited Training Organization (ATO) and will be accredited to deliver Big Data courses. The accreditation is a mark of quality that only a select group or organizations will achieve. You can start selling and delivering courses after this moment.

What is the relation between EBDFA and APMG?2023-02-08T06:59:22+01:00

The Enterprise Big Data Framework Alliance (EBDFA) is an independent body of knowledge for advancing Big Data best practices. EBDFA develops the content, course curriculum and examination to systematically improve knowledge about Big Data. Besides certification, EBDFA focuses on organizing events, and building a community of Big Data Professionals.

Ensuring examination integrity is a specialisation in itself, and requires the highest quality of standards for test taking. APMG-International, the global examinations institute, has been appointed by EBDFA to oversee the exam administration process. Candidates who will take and exam therefore need to meet the quality standards as set by APMG-International.

What is the difference between Certifications and Certificates?2023-02-08T06:59:10+01:00

The EBDFA makes a differentiation between certifications and certificates for the official examinations:

The EBDFA certifications are progressive role-based certifications for individuals who aspire to have Big Data as a career. The modules are more-in depth, and especially the intermediate (Analyst, Engineer) and specialist (Scientist, Architect) requires extensive efforts to pass. The modules follow a track, meaning that the module will have official prerequisites to assure candidates have the required credentials. The EBDFA certifications are role-based industry-leading credentials, and therefore are challenging.

The BEDFA certificates are individual independent modules that cover a specific topic in-depth. The are meant for individuals who want to learn more about data, without the requirement to have it as a career. Most participants who participate in the certificate programs want to learn more about a specific topic. For the certificates, there are no prerequisites. Every module is completed in two days, and the exams have a standardized format (1-hour, 40 questions exam with 65% pass mark).
