DASCA certification examinations are built to validate expertise against the
DASCA Essential Knowledge Framework (EKF™) — one of the world’s first and most comprehensive globally benchmarked frameworks in data science. Each exam is designed to rigorously assess knowledge, applied skills, and professional judgment across data engineering, data analytics, and data science.
By aligning with international psychometric standards and credentialing best practices, DASCA exams ensure that certified professionals demonstrate not only technical proficiency but also the ability to translate data into business and organizational value.
DASCA exams are designed to assess both conceptual mastery and applied problem-solving, using a balanced evaluation framework mapped directly to the DASCA-EKF™. Exams follow a multiple-choice, single-answer format with no negative marking, ensuring fairness and consistency across regions. Each assessment measures not only knowledge of principles and techniques but also the ability to apply them in real-world data contexts.
For the Principal Data Scientist (PDS™) credential, evaluation extends beyond the written exam to include submission-based assessments of career accomplishments, contributions, and applied expertise. This ensures that the highest level of recognition is reserved for professionals who demonstrate both technical depth and leadership impact.
DASCA certification exams are structured progressively to reflect the depth of expertise expected at each level.
This ensures that each DASCA credential accurately benchmarks readiness for the responsibilities and expectations of the role it represents.
DASCA certification exams are administered globally through the ExamStrong™ platform, a secure and reliable system designed for professional credentialing. Candidates schedule their exams directly through the myDASCA dashboard, with the flexibility to choose a convenient date and time within their exam window.
Exams are delivered entirely online and protected by live remote proctoring, ensuring integrity, fairness, and accessibility for candidates across more than 180+ countries.
This delivery model provides global accessibility while maintaining the highest standards of exam security and candidate experience.
DASCA certification exams are developed and maintained by global subject-matter experts, practitioners, and credentialing specialists. Each exam is constructed through a rigorous process of blueprinting, validation, and psychometric analysis to ensure fairness, accuracy, and reliability.
Content is periodically updated to reflect emerging trends in data science, data engineering, and analytics including advances in AI, cloud platforms, and generative technologies. This ensures that every DASCA certification continues to benchmark skills that are current, industry-relevant, and globally recognized.
