The DASCA Edge

Rigor. Reliability. Relevance.

Employers worldwide look for skilled data analysts, big data engineers and data scientists with proven mastery of various concepts, tools, technologies, models and platforms. DASCA’s vendor-neutral and cross-platform certifications validate the promise and potential of such professionals to work on a wide range of analytics, big data platforms and technologies.

Neutrality–Focused Specialization

DASCA blends platform neutrality and vendor independence with an imaginative, skill-based specialization focus. We are leading a global mission to provide Big Data professionals across the world with the finest international benchmarks and certifications that increase their employability and help them grow effectively in their profession – keeping up with the advancements in technology, and the changes in the skill and knowledge demands of employers.

Research-backed knowledge

The core of the DASCA edge is the belief that Big Data management is not a new “trend” but a long-standing need of the modern world – a belief generated out of deep research on Big Data evolution through the years. That is why the DASCA consciousness about Big Data remains solidly tied to its purpose rather than its ever-changing technologies.

A Robust Framework

While DASCA certification curricula are based on a cross-platform and vendor-agnostic body of knowledge, DASCA’s credentialing mechanism conforms to the stringent norms of the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA) established by the Institute of Credentialing Excellence, United States. DASCA’s body of knowledge assembles the prerequisites for Big Data professionals, cutting through the clutter of role confusions, skill needs, and platform focus currently plaguing Big Data stakeholders.

Constant Relevance & Dynamism

DASCA constantly updates its body of knowledge to retain relevance, reliability, and impact across markets and amidst change. DASCA's deep repository of information on Big Data technologies and trends is founded on a wide knowledge base consisting of the competence, skills, and perspective required for effective entry into and growth in all conventional and emerging Big Data professions.
