As part of their activities, FAR and its licensed trainers will conduct courses in data management, as well as prepare participants for the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) exam. FIT Academy Russia will begin its activities on the basis of the Big Data Association in January 2022 in Russia and the CIS countries.

Students will be able to gain practical skills to improve their digital products, exchange experiences and gain new knowledge from the best experts on the market.

Since one of the priority areas of the Association's activities is the development of the big data market in Russia, the FIT Academy Russia project is designed to help in the training of highly qualified specialists necessary for the development of the digital economy. In particular, FAR will support domestic education and stimulate the development of the IT industry by training new international-level specialists.

We expect to become one of the main providers of knowledge in the field of data management both in Russia and in the CIS countries and other Russian-speaking locations. Creating FIT Academy Russia, ADB focused on the social and economic needs of the development of society and business. The training will help domestic specialists to pass the international professional certification in the field of data management Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) and will provide an opportunity to enter the community of the best professionals from around the world. FIT Academy Russia has become the only organization certified by DAMA International that delivers courses on this topic in Russian, which opens up new opportunities for everyone who wants to acquire relevant skills, develop and achieve their goals, ”stressed Alexey Neiman.
