Our Mission & Vision
By Industry Standards
We are a certification standard and an industry association that maintains the competency and exam standards for data science and analytics in coordination with industry leaders. Staff provide certification verification and credentialing for individual practitioners, agencies, and educational institutions.
DSAFS® publishes competency standards used for curriculum and employee evaluation, the industry body of knowledge, certification exams, readiness tests, and podcasts related to best practices in data science and analytics. It is an independent standard, not tied to any one platform, training provider, agency, or vendor.
Our mission is to continually improve the standards of practice, education, and employment in data science and analytics.




Setting the Benchmark for Data Science & Analytics Competency
It’s no longer enough to simply claim expertise in data science and analytics. Employers and clients know that they are best served by professionals whose skills and knowledge are current and verified.
