{SOLD OUT} Mastering data quality with dbt
*This training is currently full. You may still request this training as an add-on to your registration by joining the waitlist, but a seat is not guaranteed. We will notify you during the first week of September if a seat becomes available.
Build a durable data quality practice in dbt—beyond “a few tests.” This course focuses on choosing the right type of test for the job, keeping tests maintainable as a project grows, and adding quality gates (like CI) that prevent bad changes from reaching production. You’ll leave with a practical, reusable approach to testing strategy and enforcement.
After this course, you will be able to:
- Identify which quality technique fits the problem (schema tests, data tests, unit tests, and CI checks)
- Implement a maintainable testing strategy (what to test, where to place tests, and how to avoid brittle patterns)
- Understand CI workflows to catch quality regressions before merge and deploy
Prerequisites:
- dbt Fundamentals
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: 2 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
