{SOLD OUT} Mastering data quality 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.

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
