Online MAST Methodology Training now available!

Ever since we started running MAST Methodology training people have asked if we were ever going to make it virtual - the answer was always when we get the time.

The good news is - we finally found the time!!! :tada:

We are slowly working through recording these and will be slowly adding these to the community and youtube as they are ready, with a refresh of the Aristotle Academy courses slated for mid-year once all content is recorded.

Each module covers one portion of the MAST Manifesto and IDEAL Framework and is designed for data and metadata practitioners at all stages to give them the communication and change management skills to support dynamic data governance. Each video is between 5 and 15 minutes so that you can fit them into your data, and Creative Commons so you can include them in your own training if required.

We’ve used clear analogies and real-world examples to explain how metadata, shared standards, and organisation-wide participation make it possible to turn data into a reliable, high-value asset.
