12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.

The situation this course is for

Who this is for

Azure Data Engineers in regulated financial institutions who own pipeline design and governance integration

Who this is not for

Data analysts, dashboard developers, or cloud admins without pipeline ownership

What you walk away with

  • Translate compliance rules into Azure resource configurations without round-trip reviews
  • Deploy policy-enforced pipelines without waiting for security sign-off cycles
  • Reuse templated patterns that pre-validate against Schwab’s common control thresholds
  • Reduce time from data ingestion spec to pipeline deployment by 50% or more
  • Document audit-ready artefacts as a side effect of deployment, not after
