Getting started with dbt

This is the foundational, hands-on course for practitioners who are new to dbt (or want a structured refresher). You’ll build a small dbt project end-to-end while learning core concepts: modeling, sources, testing, documentation, and deployment.

After this course, you will be able to:

Explain key dbt concepts (projects, models, DAG, sources, tests, documentation)

Build a set of models and understand dependencies using the DAG

Add tests and documentation so others can trust and reuse your work

Run and deploy dbt workflows on a schedule (and interpret run results)
