Data Modelling Workshop

In this information age, data and data relationships have never been more important. This course extends the Introduction to Data Modelling course, providing more in-depth coverage of important data modelling concepts and comprehensive data modelling exercises to reinforce those concepts. The course is suitable for those who need more than an introduction and who need to apply data modelling as part of their role.


The nature of the workshop is hands-on and applied. Participants will spend a good amount of the workshop undertaking exercises to build on the principles taught in both this course and the Introduction to Data Modelling course.


The ‘Data Modelling Workshop’ course is delivered by Equinox training partner John Fisher. John is a well-known and incredibly experienced data modeller and enterprise architect, who has undertaken data modelling for many key New Zealand organisations.
