The Data Governance Institute Training Center

The Data Governance Institute has spent over two decades helping organizations design, launch, and sustain Data Governance programs. This is where that experience becomes training: online, self-paced courses built for working practitioners.

Value-Centered Data Governance
Certificate Program

VCDG is The Data Governance Institute's methodology for turning the value your program already delivers into stakeholder support, participation, and funding.

Why study with The Data Governance Institute

Built from practice. 

Our courses distill what we've learned from more than 20 years of working with real Data Governance programs, in real organizations, under real constraints.

Designed for how the work happens. 

Course scenarios reflect actual working conditions: tickets, chat messages, status meetings, cross-functional working groups. You practice where governance work actually lives.

Credentials you earn. 

Our certificates are earned by examination, not by completion. When you pass, your credential reflects demonstrated ability, and it does not expire.
Who we are

The Data Governance Institute

The Data Governance Institute (DGI) is the industry’s oldest and best known source of in-depth Data Governance best practices and guidance. Founded in 2003, it’s the number one recognized name in the industry, with practitioners around the world consistently reporting that they have based their programs on the DGI Data Governance Framework and supporting materials. The Institute has continued to evolve with the discipline and released its updated Data Governance Framework in 2024.
DGI introduced the DGI Data Governance Framework in 2004 in response to an emerging need for a way to classify, organize, and communicate complex activities involved in making decisions about and taking action on enterprise data. Employing the framework has enabled data strategists, data governance professionals, business stakeholder, and IT leaders to work together to make decisions about how to manage data, realize value from it, minimize cost and complexity, manage risk, and ensure compliance with ever-growing legal, regulatory, and other requirements.
