How to Showcase your Digital BadgeThe two handbooks on big data engineering included in the official DASCA exam preparation kit are the recommended and essential readings for the online SBDE™ certification examination. They have been developed around the DASCA Essential Knowledge Framework (DASCA-EKF™), to ensure an effective preparation for the SBDE™ certification exam, and at the same time, help aspiring big data engineers and application developers build 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 SBDE™ candidates on their myDASCA dashboard.
The content in the two official DASCA handbooks is grouped across 8 technical sections covering all prescribed SBDE™ exam areas. This content aims to develop in learners a strong generic and platform-based understanding of the concepts, tools, and technologies of handling storage, processing, management, and security infrastructure required in managing large volumes of streaming data.
There are six distinct stages of your SBDE™ certification journey. Here’s a quick tour of what these stages look like. You may Contact Us for more information.
Start by confirming your fit for SBDE™ and choosing one of the four registration tracks that match your profile best. You can Check here if the SBDE™ certification meets your career needs and also that you satisfy the minimum candidacy/ eligibility requirements prescribed for SBDE™. Before proceeding, please do check if you are eligible for any special candidacy relaxations under the QualiFly™ program for SBDE™ offered to alums of DASCA accredited/ recognized institutions.
Next, you must create your myDASCA account to start the application process and indicate in your application form if you are eligible for QualiFly™ program benefits. Once you have submitted the online SBDE™ application and paid the fee, you will receive an acknowledgment response email with instructions for the next steps in the SBDE™ registration process.
Please do note, your SBDE™ application may be randomly picked for a detailed candidacy check and you may receive a notification for this separately. This is an internal DASCA quality management exercise and has nothing to do with your application. If this happens, then you will be requested to fill out a Candidacy Verification form and share proofs of the qualifications and work experience you may have mentioned in your SBDE™ application.
Once your SBDE™ application is accepted and you have completed your fee payment, your registration in SBDE™ is deemed complete and a registration confirmation message is sent to you. At this point, the full access to your myDASCA account too would be activated.
Within 72 hours of registration confirmation, instructions will be released to ship the DASCA exam-preparation kit containing the two big data engineering handbooks to the address you have registered with us. Standard delivery timeframe is 3-4 weeks. You must verify the shipping address mentioned on your myDASCA dashboard, and change it if you wish to within 72 hours of completing your fee payment.
Once you are ready for the SBDE™ certification exam, you can register for it right from your dashboard. There is no big hurry, though. DASCA gives SBDE™ candidates a period of 180 days from the date of registration confirmation to pass the SBDE™ certification exam.
Once you pass the SBDE™ certification exam and meet the other requirements prescribed by the DASCA Professional Certifications Board (DPCB), the award of the SBDE™ certification is approved for you.
