What is Data Literacy Certification?

Everyone who works in business today is to some degree a data worker. Having the knowledge to collaborate with others both in management and in use of data is quickly becoming a requirement for nearly every management and functional role in business. Data literacy is now a standard business skill set that appears in job requirements and performance expectations. Data literate individuals stand out in their organizations as high performers, well-informed decision makers, and ideal collaborators. Data literacy leads directly to increased job satisfaction and greater career opportunities. Data Literacy Certification (DLC) makes a strong statement that you have developed the knowledge and skills needed to understand, interpret, and communicate with data.

Data Literacy courses - Build organisational data competence

Q: Why do we need to become data literate?

We expect information to be a business differentiator. Yet, in practice, only 25% of workers feel they use data effectively in their jobs, and only 21% of workers feel confident in their overall data literacy skills. It doesn't matter how much data your business collects if your staff and decision-makers are not equipped to use it effectively. A data literate individual has the ability to understand, interpret, and apply data to fulfil knowledge-gathering, decision making, and communication responsibilities of their specific job roles. Every individual takes part in creating a data-literate organization with the ability to communicate, collaborate, and innovate using data.

Q: How do we become data literate?

We need to invest in ourselves and our staff to empower knowledge workers at all levels of the business to ask the right questions of data and machines, to challenge the outputs of machine learning and AI algorithms, and, interpret data and make the correct deductions. It will make your business more streamlined since those that understand their data won't need to wait for the data science team to interpret the data for them. And, you will reduce your risk of data losses and breaches if your employees, at all levels, understand how and why to handle data responsibly

Build data competence with our Data Literacy Courses and Certification.

Just as literacy involves the ability to read the written word and comprehend what you have read, data literacy involves the ability to source, interpret, and communicate data in context. The critical skills provided by data literacy courses enable an organization to use data effectively for business actions and outcomes.

Not only must organizations take steps to educate professionals who are involved in crafting data-driven solutions, products and services, they must also ensure those steps achieve the goal of teaching all relevant employees to speak data as their new second language, as well as developing and nurturing communities in which the language will flourish” - Gartner

Who does the training target?

Our programs are designed to help companies with a comprehensive program of courses designed to increase data management skills. Courses teach fundamental principles and include practical examples from the experience of the instructors.

The content targets a broad range of IT and business audiences. The product page for each course describes the target audience and prerequisite information and provides a course outline. Also, each course is accompanied by a Sneak Peek preview, in which the instructor talks about the course structure and objectives and includes a short portion of the actual course.

In general, we prefer to work directly with your training department, but individuals can buy directly.

How long do I have access to the course material?

Each course is available to you for 12 months from the date of purchase (or 24 months if purchased as a part of an Education Package) and you will have 45 days to complete it once you access it for the first time.

Do I need to take a course in one sitting?

No. You may close out the presentation and return to it at a later time. The Course Server will track your progress so that you may resume where you left off, even if resuming from a different computer. Note, however, when taking an eLearningCurve exam, you may not pause or resume the module. Exams must be taken from beginning to end in one sitting.

What is the procedure for taking the exams?

Exams are open-book and intended to test your understanding of the content taught.

Once you start the exam, the Learning Server will open a separate browser window in which questions will appear. The main browser window (also called "communications window") will stay open behind. Do not close the communications window or the exam results will not be saved! Once you finish answering all questions, you will be asked to click the 'Submit All' button and then the 'Finish' button. At that point, please, wait till the communications window finishes processing and offers you to go back to the list of modules. The exam should then show the status 'Completed' indicating that the results were successfully saved.

Exams run for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. You have up to three attempts to pass an exam and will receive feedback via email within 48 hours of completing an exam.

Do I get a Certificate?

Once you pass the exam, you will receive a Certificate of Education documenting that you have demonstrated mastery of the topic.
