Cognopia's CDMP Guarantee
Last Updated August 31st 2022
CDMP Guarantee Terms and Conditions
Cognopia will guarantee that students enrolled in our CDMP Academy pass the CDMP Fundamentals exam at the passing tier they have paid for or greater.
For the avoidance of doubt:
- If you register for the Associate Tier, we guarantee that you will score at least 60% in the CDMP Fundamentals exam, otherwise we will pay for you to resit the exam
- If you register for the Practitioner Tier, we guarantee that you will score at least 70% in the CDMP Fundamentals exam, otherwise we will pay for you to resit the exam
- If you register for the Master Tier, we guarantee that you will score at least 80% in the CDMP Fundamentals exam, otherwise we will pay for you to resit the exam
Your obligations
In order to be eligible for the guarantee, the following obligations must be met by the student:
- You must be a registered user that has paid for the Cognopia course access in full
- You must have purchased a genuine copy of the DMBOK from DAMA, and use this to deepen your understanding of the Data Management Fundamentals that are being tested in the CDMP Exam
- Students are responsible for paying for their first DAMA exam – register here
- Students must have invested at least 20 hours of study in order to pass the exam, following the instructions of the Cognopia Academy team
- Students must have taken the official “CDMP Fundamentals Practice Exam” on the DAMA site and provided evidence to Cognopia that they are able to pass the Practice Exam with a perfect score (40/40) 3 times in a row before taking the final exam
- Students must have taken Cognopia’s recommended preparation exams, and have been signed off in writing by Cognopia staff members that they are ready to pass the CDMP Fundamentals exam before taking the real CDMP Fundamentals exam
- Students that fail must provide evidence that this was as a result of them missing the target grade, NOT because they were failed by the Honorlock Online Proctoring service (i.e. by attempting to break the rules of the CDMP exam)
Our obligations
Please note that Cognopia is acting as a consultant and guide to content that has been created by DAMA International and is contained in the Data Management Body of Knowledge book.
We will provide content that helps students more effectively study to pass the CDMP Fundamentals Exam. Our role is to act as a concierge to your study, guiding you to the content that is most appropriate for your learning journey.
- You should spend time reviewing the content we recommend, perform any exercises that are suggested, and reading the sections of the DMBOK where your scores are weakest
- Asking questions is the best way to deepen your knowledge, so leverage the Cognopia team as well as the LinkedIn Group to ask for support and advice
Should a student fail to attain the guaranteed grade they have paid for, Cognopia will pay for the re-take of the exam and continue our training until we are satisfied that you are able to achieve your goal grade. We will run through a 1-hour debrief with any students that miss their target to determine the cause of the missed grade and prioritise actions to unlock your potential together.
