Course Description
Data quality is an element of increasing importance for users and for the credibility of the statistical systems. Data quality management provides a context-specific process for improving the fitness of data that’s used for analysis and decision making. The goal is to create insights into the health of that data using various processes and technologies on ensuring its quality. Data quality in itself is not the goal but rather a tool to achieve the outcome that depends on that quality. Our Certificate in “Data Quality Management” course provides learners with an understanding of the relationship between the fundamental elements that contribute to statistical activity and quality assessment, mostly based on the recommendations of the United Nations National Quality Assurance Framework. It also provides insights into the linkages between the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics (FPOS) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
