DAMA-Minnesota is pleased to offer a CDMP® Fundamentals Study Group to support data professionals preparing for the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) exam.
This guided study group follows the DAMA-DMBOK® v2 and revised editions and is structured around the CDMP Fundamentals exam blueprint. Sessions are facilitated by experienced practitioners and CDMP credential holders and are designed to help participants focus on the knowledge areas most heavily weighted on the exam.
The study group includes:
Weekly facilitated study sessions covering core DMBOK knowledge areas
Alternating office hours for Q&A, exam tips, and practice discussion
A structured, chapter-by-chapter approach aligned to exam weighting
A collaborative learning environment with peers across DAMA chapters
Schedule:
Please note the change: The CDMP Fundamentals exam is now scheduled for May 26, 2026 (originally scheduled for May 16th). Exam registration and fees are managed separately through DAMA-International. This year we are offering the Pay-If-You-Pass exam, courtesy of DAMA-International. This unique oppportunity is extended to DAMA-MN study group members who wish to take the exam at no cost, and if you pass, you are then offered the opportunity to pay $300. Regular exam fee is $311.
All study group sessions and open office hours will be conducted virtually, and DAMA-MN is actively exploring metro-area venues for an in-person exam.
Who should attend:
First-time CDMP candidates
Practicing data management professionals seeking a structured refresher
DAMA members from Minnesota and partner chapters preparing for the May exam
Cost: Free for DAMA members $25 for non-members (reciprocity applies)
