I have been in the world of analytics for almost a decade now, DASCA curriculum and methodology stands out as the best I have ever come across. I wish I had a DASCA certification training handbook when starting my career as a Data Analyst, I learnt data analytics the hard way since I don't have access to a comprehensive and structured material to guid my learning. I recommend DASCA certification to anyone who wants an easy walk into the space of Big Data Analytics.

The two handbooks on Big Data Analytics included in the official DASCA exam preparation kit are the recommended and essential readings for the online SBDA™ certification examination. They have been developed around the DASCA Essential Knowledge Framework (DASCA-EKF™), to ensure an effective preparation for the SBDA™ certification exam, and at the same time, help big data analysts build a longer–lasting base of knowledge and a more in-depth perspective of the most advanced concepts in data science underlying data analytics technologies. Additionally, an exam preparation guide and practice tests are also provided to SBDA™ candidates on their myDASCA dashboard.
The content in the two official DASCA handbooks is clustered in eight sections covering all prescribed SBDA™ exam areas. This content aims to develop in learners a strong generic and platform-based understanding of the concepts, tools, and technologies of handling, managing, processing and visualizing large volumes of streaming data.
