I took the Professional Certificate in Data Governance and Stewardship at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great way to learn about data governance in a pretty casual and relaxed way. The course was pretty straightforward, and the instructors did a good job of explaining the concepts. I liked that we got to work on some real-world projects, which helped me understand how to apply the concepts to my own work. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on data quality - it was super relevant to my job, and I was able to use the skills I learned to improve our data processes. The course materials were okay, but sometimes they felt a bit dry. Overall, it was a solid course, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a intro to data governance.
