Be a Data Quality Assurance Engineer — Build a strong foundation in ETL, Data Warehousing, and testing for data quality

A hands-on tutorial that takes you from the ground up and gives you a solid understanding of Data Warehouse and ETL Testing concepts.

What will you learn from this course?

  • Learn why and where ETL is required with a real-time business problem.

  • Understand the fundamentals of Data Warehousing and common data models such as Star Schema.

  • Gain a complete architectural overview of how ETL works with a Data Warehouse.

  • Get an overview of popular ETL tools used in the industry.

  • Explore Cloud Data Warehouses and how ETL/ELT fits in modern data stacks.

  • Understand the differences between ETL vs ELT and where each is applicable.

  • Discover the critical role of ETL data quality testing in training Large Language Models (LLMs) — ensuring reliable and accurate data pipelines is a key foundation for any AI/ML system.

  • Learn how bad data quality can lead to hallucinations, bias, and inaccurate results in LLM outputs, and why robust ETL testing is crucial before model ingestion.

Prerequisites:

  • Basic knowledge of SQL (Insert, Update, Delete).
