In order to meet the energy industry’s need for recognition of the unique competencies of data management professionals, the PPDM Association established the Certified Petroleum Data Analyst (CPDA) certification exam.  

The CPDA designation is a globally recognized achievement, unique to the petroleum data management industry. Certification demonstrates to employers, clients, and colleagues that a CPDA professional possesses data management knowledge, experience, and skills to navigate the unique challenges of data management specific to the energy industry.

We are holding a one-hour CPDA Information Session virtually September 21 at 7:00 AM (Perth Australia Time), for those interested in learning more about the CPDA Program, the value of the certification, the knowledge and skills participants acquire, and the process involved to earn this credential. We will walk through the application process, provide tips to study for the exam, and present information concerning taking the exam and becoming certified. You can also visit our Certification page at www.ppdm.org/certification.
