What Our Students Are Saying

5 Star Rating (5/5)
"I enjoyed the focus on real world practice aspects of DA that were discussed."

"I felt the course was interactive, and that the exercises or breakouts matched the content well. I appreciate that you offer a 15 min session with the instructor pre-exam, and the study session. Lastly, I appreciated that the course was not one-way and encouraged discussion where I got to interact with other colleagues across the globe to brainstorm and learn from different folks."

We would like you to feel comfortable and be engaged in the learning process. Students are encouraged to post their questions on the Parking Lot in the miro board and those questions will be answered during the course. We try to take a five minute break every hour so that you can stretch your legs, grab a beverage, and get a quick snack. Then we get right back to the course, since we have a lot of material to cover. We usually take a 20 or 30 minute break for lunch.
The DASSM exam has 50 questions and you are given 90 minutes to complete the exam. The 90 minutes does not include a tutorial which takes 10-15 to go through. The exam is a non-proctored exam with Pearson Vue.
