You'll build the diagnostic and preventive skills that keep data pipelines trustworthy and production-ready. In this course, you'll learn to define automated data quality tests, trace anomalies back to their source, and apply advanced Python debugging techniques to resolve complex pipeline failures — three capabilities that employers consistently seek in data engineering roles.
What sets this course apart is its end-to-end, practical focus: you won't just learn what data quality means — you'll write YAML test suites, navigate monitoring dashboards, analyze stack traces, and step through live code with debugging tools. Each skill builds toward a complete picture of pipeline reliability, from prevention to detection to resolution.
By the end, you'll be equipped to catch data issues before they reach downstream consumers, communicate root causes clearly, and ship more dependable data products.
You will establish foundational understanding of data quality frameworks and define systematic approaches to testing data integrity through volume, completeness, and uniqueness validation.

Coursera brings together a diverse network of subject matter experts who have demonstrated their expertise through professional industry experience or strong academic backgrounds. These instructors design and teach courses that make practical, career-relevant skills accessible to learners worldwide.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
