Why this certification
Omni is a core delivery tool for both the Data and Strategy service lines. The Omni Platform Certification is a commercial requirement: Brainforge’s Omni partnership sends us leads, and having certified team members is part of the partner tier agreement — both platform- and Quickstart-certified people need to be on the roster for Omni to route implementation work to us.
Omni’s partner program defines two certification tracks:
| Track | Who it’s for | Badge |
|---|---|---|
| Omni Platform Certification (this page) | Any customer-facing delivery resource; anyone doing hands-on keyboard work | Public badge granted |
| Omni Quickstart Certification | Resources leading training & enablement / co-development sessions with customers | Internal-only designation (no public badge currently) |
The original partner announcement is in the Omni partner channel (Brainforge workspace). Delivery leadership surfaced the same context in #data-team (2025-11-11).
For Data Service, platform certification validates the ability to build and maintain semantic models, connect to data sources, integrate dbt, and design scalable analytics infrastructure.
For Strategy Service, it validates the ability to build client-facing dashboards, use AI-powered querying, and deliver self-service analytics to non-technical stakeholders.
Who should certify
From the Omni partner program directly:
| Role | Platform Cert | Quickstart Cert |
|---|---|---|
| Hands-on keyboard / migration only (no customer-facing work) | Strongly recommended (study + assessment) | Not required |
| Customer-facing delivery resource | Required | Not required |
| Customer-facing + leading training and co-development sessions | Required | Required |
Per-project requirements (enforced by Omni):
- Any project with hands-on keyboard work → at least one Platform certified resource on the project
- Any Quickstart or project with enablement/co-development → at least one Quickstart certified resource on the project
Coordinate with Brylle Girang and your engagement lead to confirm which track applies to your role before starting.
Step 1: Complete the training
There are two study paths — both are recommended. Work through them in parallel.
1a. Official Platform Training Guide (primary — exam-backed)
Resource: Omni Platform Training Guide — Official Omni partner training deck; the certification assessment is scoped to this material.
This is the primary source. Complete it in full before sitting the assessment. The certification overview walks through what the full cert process looks like end-to-end.
1b. LearnOmni.org (supplemental — hands-on depth)
Resource: LearnOmni.org — Free, open source, 62 lessons, 11 hours total.
Use this alongside the Training Guide for hands-on depth. Complete the chapters in the order below, following the priority guidance for your service line.
| # | Chapter | Time | Data Service | Strategy Service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Omni Analytics | 2h 6min | Required | Required |
| 2 | Data Connection and Modeling | 1h 12min | Priority — semantic model design, dbt integration | Skim — light context only |
| 3 | Querying and Data Exploration | 1h | Required | Priority — AI-powered querying is core to client delivery |
| 4 | Visualization and Dashboards | 1h 6min | Required | Priority — building polished client-facing dashboards |
| 5 | AI and Intelligent Features | 54min | Required | Priority — natural language querying, intelligent automation |
| 6 | Sharing and Collaboration | 42min | Required | Priority — embedded analytics, automated delivery, stakeholder access |
| 7 | Advanced Features and Development | 1h 48min | Priority — advanced dbt workflows, API development, enterprise modeling | Skim — optional depth |
| 8 | Real-World Applications and Case Studies | 2h 12min | Required | Priority — business use cases, implementation strategies across functions |
Estimated study time:
- Data Service: ~9 hours (all chapters, priority depth on 2 and 7)
- Strategy Service: ~8 hours (all chapters, priority depth on 3–6 and 8)
What to focus on by service line
Data Service: Depth areas are the semantic model (how Omni structures data for reuse), the dbt integration workflow, and advanced modeling patterns. Chapters 2 and 7 — slow down and practice hands-on.
Strategy Service: Depth areas are querying, dashboards, and AI features for non-technical users. Chapter 5 (AI features) and Chapter 6 (sharing/collaboration) directly map to client delivery. Chapter 8’s case studies are worth reading in full.
Step 2: Hands-on practice
Do not go into the assessment or record your demo without having built something in Omni. Before sitting the exam:
- Connect a data source (use a sandbox or demo environment)
- Build at least one topic with defined dimensions and measures
- Create a dashboard with at least two chart types
- For Data Service only: set up a dbt integration and validate model changes flowing through
- For Strategy Service only: configure a shared dashboard with a filter for a non-technical user
Step 3: Complete the certification
Platform Certification has three parts. All three are required.
Part 1 — Certification assessment
- Link: Omni Platform Certification Assessment
- Questions: 94 questions
- Passing score: 90% or higher
- Review turnaround: Omni team reviews and shares feedback + results within 72 hours of submission
- Questions? Contact Peter Whitehead (peter@omni.co) and Becca Bruggman (becca@omni.co)
Part 2 — Demo video recording
Build a working Omni implementation and record a demo video showcasing your work. This demonstrates hands-on platform proficiency beyond the written assessment. Specific recording requirements and submission instructions are in the Platform Training Guide and cert overview.
Part 3 — Omni team validation
Once both the assessment and demo are submitted, Omni reviews and grants certification. Upon passing you receive:
- Omni Platform Certification credential
- Public-facing Omni partner badge
After receiving your badge, notify Brylle Girang on #ai-learning so it can be logged in the partner roster.
Exam domain areas (what to expect)
The assessment tests depth of expertise and experience developing in Omni. Expect coverage across:
- Data connection and semantic modeling
- Querying, calculated fields, and data exploration
- Visualization types, formatting, and dashboard design
- AI-powered features and natural language querying
- Embedded analytics and sharing configurations
- Governance and access controls
- dbt integration and advanced modeling (Data Service depth)
- Real-world business use case application (Strategy Service depth)
