Live Online Data and Analytics for Data Governance, Quality & Stewardship Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Reports disagree, customer records duplicate and nobody can say who owns a field or who approved a change. Weak governance turns analytics into guesswork, and regulators and auditors notice. Five days teach teams to make governance measurable instead of relying on policy documents alone.
You profile real-style datasets to find completeness, validity, uniqueness, consistency and timeliness problems, then convert findings into quality rules, thresholds and scorecards. Governance sessions cover operating models, data owners and stewards, glossaries, catalogues, lineage, master data, metadata, access control and privacy obligations. Using SQL, spreadsheets and a business intelligence tool, you build dashboards that track quality trends, issue backlogs and steward performance, and use root cause analysis to remove problems at source. Data stewards, data managers, analysts, business intelligence developers, records and information managers, compliance and risk staff, and ICT and audit professionals in government, banks, utilities, health and NGOs will benefit. Delivery is by classroom in many cities, online, or in-house, with a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion on finishing. Afterwards you can set up a stewardship programme, produce a quality baseline and show leadership the value of cleaner data in numbers.

About this course
Organisations collect more data every year, but trust in it does not rise at the same pace. Duplicate customers, missing fields, inconsistent codes and untraced spreadsheets cause wrong decisions, failed audits and expensive manual rework. Privacy and data protection duties add pressure to know exactly what data is held, where it sits and who is accountable for it.
This course approaches governance, quality and stewardship through analytics. Participants start by agreeing what good data means for their business and by building a governance model with clear roles, decision rights and policies. They then learn to profile data, define measurable quality dimensions, set rules and tolerances, and monitor results over time. Further sessions cover metadata, business glossaries, catalogues, lineage and master and reference data, followed by issue management, root cause analysis and remediation workflows. The closing sessions deal with measuring programme maturity, reporting value and building a stewardship community that lasts.
The approach is hands-on. Delegates use SQL queries, spreadsheet functions and dashboard software on sample datasets, and finish with a data quality baseline, a stewardship charter and a roadmap suited to their organisation.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Establish a data governance operating model with defined owners, stewards and decision rights.
- Profile datasets to detect gaps, duplicates, invalid values and inconsistencies.
- Define quality dimensions, rules, thresholds and scorecards aligned to business needs.
- Build dashboards that monitor quality trends and stewardship performance.
- Document metadata, glossaries, lineage and critical data elements.
- Run issue management and root cause analysis to fix problems at their source.
