Data pipeline failures cost organizations millions in lost revenue and broken decisions. This course empowers data management professionals with practical skills to build bulletproof data quality systems using industry-standard frameworks and automated testing approaches.
This Short Course was created to help data engineers and analysts accomplish robust data validation that prevents costly pipeline failures and ensures reliable analytics.
By completing this course, you'll be able to implement comprehensive data quality tests that automatically catch issues before they impact downstream systems, write YAML-based validation suites that monitor null rates and row counts, and establish automated quality gates that protect your data infrastructure.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Apply a data quality framework to define tests for data integrity
Implement automated validation for volume, completeness, and uniqueness requirements
Write YAML test suites that enforce quality standards across data pipelines
This course is unique because it focuses on practical, hands-on implementation of enterprise-grade data quality frameworks using real-world scenarios and industry-standard tools like Great Expectations and dbt testing.
To be successful in this project, you should have a background in basic data concepts, familiarity with SQL queries, and understanding of data pipeline fundamentals.
Learners will establish foundational understanding of data quality frameworks and define systematic approaches to testing data integrity through volume, completeness, and uniqueness validation.

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 Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, 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.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
