The DASCA Big Edge for Big Data Engineers

  • Designed as Employability–Enhancers

    The ABDE™ and SBDE™ Credentials validate the promise and potential of software professionals to enter, perform, and grow in the Big Data space and perform effectively as Big Data Developers and Engineers in a rapidly evolving and changing technology landscape.

  • Sharply Employer–Focused

    The ABDE™ and SBDE™ Credentials have robust, research–backed structures built after rigorous research on Big Data industry trends. They focus on validating knowledge and proficiency in areas that impact performance of developers and engineers most critically.

  • 3rd Party Recognition, Cross–Platform Relevance

    DASCA is entirely an independent certification body and not a technology developer or an owner of a proprietary Big Data platform. This makes ABDE™ and SBDE™ the world’s first neutral, pan–platform and BoEK™–centered globally recognized big data credentials.

  • Through Coverage of Critical & Relevant Knowledge Areas

    The DASCA Big Data Engineer Certifications evaluate knowledge of applicants in all performance–critical areas to ensure the ABDE™ and SBDE™ credentialed possess demonstrated knowledge and abilities of high levels required for designing, developing, engineering, customizing, and implementing state–of–the–art Big Data systems.

  • Availability & Convenience

    The ABDE™ and SBDE™ Credentials are now available worldwide and registrations can be made online. While the certification examinations can be taken across 183 countries around the world, the official DASCA examination preparation material is provided at the time of registration to all applicants at no extra costs.

  • International Acceptance, Recognition, & Relevance

    Although the highest levels of research and validation rigor marked the development of the ABDE™ and SBDE™ Credentials into truly universal qualifications, the process of accreditation by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and/or the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) is also due to commence.
