{SOLD OUT} Getting started with dbt

Doors open 30 minutes before each session. If you're not seated by the published start time, your seat is released to the waitlist.

This is the foundational, hands-on course for practitioners who are new to dbt (or want a structured refresher). You’ll build a small dbt project end-to-end while learning core concepts: modeling, sources, testing, documentation, and deployment.

After this course, you will be able to:

• Explain key dbt concepts (projects, models, DAG, sources, tests, documentation)
• Build a set of models and understand dependencies using the DAG
• Add tests and documentation so others can trust and reuse your work
• Run and deploy dbt workflows on a schedule (and interpret run results)

Prerequisites:

• Intermediate SQL knowledge

What to bring:

• You must bring your own laptop to complete the hands-on exercises
• We will provide any required sandbox environments for dbt and the data platform

Duration: 4 hours

• A valid dbt Summit pass is required to register for trainings and certifications
• Trainings and certifications will take place in-person at dbt Summit only
