Don't let this gap widen
Why this program matters
Without mastery of dbt Core, your manual data pipelines waste 50% of data team time on repetitive transformations and hidden errors.
Data incidents from unversioned SQL cost mid-size companies an average of 200k€ per year, with 70% of analytics projects failing due to lack of quality.
In 2026, 85% of data recruiters reject candidates without dbt skills, widening the competitive gap while your peers deliver insights 3x faster.
Every quarter without training amplifies business losses and stalls data-driven growth.
Program
Module 1dbt Core Fundamentals: Installation and First Project (CLI, dbt_project.yml, Environments)
Discover the quick installation of dbt Core via pip or Docker, configure your first professional project with dbt_project.yml and connection profiles to Snowflake or BigQuery, get started with dbt init and dbt debug to validate the environment, run your first dbt run to execute a simple model, and generate an initial report on your transformed datasets, with practical exercises on real business cases to anchor skills from the first day.
Module 2dbt Core Models: Modular SQL and Jinja Templating (Macros, Variables, Loops)
Dive into creating dbt Core models in pure and advanced SQL, integrate Jinja templating for reusable macros and dynamic variables, transform source tables into incremental materialized views, test live with dbt run and dbt compile, apply these techniques on a real e-commerce dataset to generate cleaned and aggregated KPIs, and iterate with trainer feedback for scalable and maintainable professional models.
Module 3dbt Core Tests and Documentation: Quality and Traceability (Generic Tests, schema.yml)
Learn to implement comprehensive tests with dbt test to validate data integrity, configure schema.yml to automatically document source models and columns, generate a dbt docs site with dbt docs generate and serve it locally, analyze common errors on real data warehouse cases, correct and document a complete pipeline, produce a certified deliverable ready for the team with integrated freshness and quality metrics.
Module 4dbt Core Sources, Seeds, Snapshots: Managing Static and Historical Data (YAML refs)
Master YAML sources to reference external tables without duplication, load CSV seeds into dbt Core tables for static lookups, implement snapshots to capture historical changes with timestamp or check strategies, integrate refs and sources into your complex models, apply to an HR project with salary history, generate audits of evolving data, and optimize for enterprise performance with selective dbt run --select.
Module 5dbt Core Deployment and Orchestration: Production and Best Practices (DAGs, CI/CD Basics)

Our method
Training quality, guaranteed at every step
Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.
You meet the trainer beforehand
30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.
- Live briefing on goals and team context.
- Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Content tailored to your context
No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.
- Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
- Program co-written then validated by your team.
Continuous quality follow-up
Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.
- NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
- Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.
A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
