KODAQS Data Quality Academy Individual Training

Program Overview

  • Our KODAQS Academy Individual Training Program aims at researchers looking to advance their expertise in data science quality without committing to a structured in-person program: researchers at all career levels, including doctoral candidates and early-career postdocs, statistical institutions employees, and non-academic researchers in the field of social sciences.
  • The program follows the structure, didactical resources and training content of the KODAQS Data Quality Academy Certificate Program
  • Fully online self-paced training with courses consisting of clearly defined learning paths and extensive didactical materials (e.g. videos, slides, literature, scripts, code, etc). 
  • This format allows learners to acquire data quality-oriented use of data expertise in a self-directed and flexible manner. 
  • The program follows an open learning training approach (no certification is awarded to participants).
  • Please note that enrolling in the KODAQS Academy Individual Training Program does not grant access to the networking events from the KODAQS Data Quality Academy Certificate Program
