Dimensional Modeling Certification

Hi gurus

Can you name a few good industry recognized Dimensional Modelling Certifications out there....couldn't find one by KimballUniversity, am I missing sth. here?


I googled and got :
1. Certified Business Intelligence Professional (CBIP) from TWDI......though it isn't specifically geared towards Dimensional Modeling

I'm not aware of any.

Hi user9,
Ralph and the Kimball Group has been asked this question many times. Ralph’s answer to the certification question was part of his preamble to the June 2008 Design Tip:

“We’ve received several inquiries about Kimball certification. After much consideration, we’ve concluded that it’s not meaningful to bestow certification by charging you to take a multiple choice exam. We do believe quality, in-depth education consistent with our proven methodology is critical to your professional development. Rather than embarking on a certification program, we’re giving Kimball University alumni an alternative opportunity to publicize their completion of our courses.”

The alternative Ralph referred to is the Kimball Alumni LinkedIn Group. This group is limited to students who have attended a full length 2- to 4-day Kimball University onsite or public course. Unfortunately, 1-day vendor seminars and other industry events do not qualify.

If you have attended a Kimball University course and are interested in joining the KU Alumni Group, follow this link:
