CDMP Maintenance
CDMP Renewal: How Certification Maintenance Works
DAMA currently states that the initial CDMP certification is valid for three years. Ongoing maintenance then includes annual requirements such as a maintenance fee, activity attestation, and adherence to the Code of Ethics.
- Track the expiration date of your initial certification.
- Maintain evidence of ongoing data-management activity.
- Check DAMA’s current renewal instructions because fees and processes may change.
