CompTIA Data+
CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 PrepCast is an audio-first certification preparation series designed to help you build practical, test-ready judgment across the full Data+ blueprint. Across the course, you learn how to recognize what a scenario is truly asking, choose appropriate data sources and repositories, work confidently with common file types and structures, and apply core preparation techniques such as integration, joins, missing value handling, duplication and outlier checks, text cleaning, reshaping, and feature creation. The series also strengthens your ability to select and interpret statistical approaches and measures, translate requirements into clear communication, frame results with KPIs, and choose visualization and reporting artifacts that match the message without misleading the audience. Governance, privacy, and quality themes run throughout, including documentation, metadata, lineage, versioning, retention, access controls, exposure reduction, testing, and monitoring, so you can answer questions with consistency and defensible reasoning.
Each episode is built for busy learners who want clear explanations, realistic scenarios, and repeatable decision frameworks that map directly to the exam’s style of problem-solving. You will repeatedly practice identifying constraints, avoiding common traps, and validating your thinking with simple checks so you can stay accurate under time pressure. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber audio courses, books, and information to strengthen your educational path.
