Created by asset management professionals for asset management professionals, the Deighton University is your gateway to dTIMS learning. This eLearning platform was created by Deighton Associates Ltd., the developer of dTIMS, to offer certification on our software. The University is your “one stop shop” for all training and learning related to dTIMS. Our mini course model enables you to fit all your dTIMS courses and learning into your busy work schedule.
Mini courses are bite-sized 20-30 minutes lessons that contain corresponding content, a use case, and a quiz. In addition, each mini course is made up of guided lessons hosted by an instructor.
The dTIMS BA STREAMS
These mini courses are split into four streams: Concepts, Database Administrator, Analyst, and Implementer. This allows you to customize your dTIMS learning experience to fit your own roles, needs, and schedule. Complete all the courses in one stream or mix and match courses throughout all four streams to get the dTIMS learning you need!
Concepts Stream
This course is an introduction to decision support systems. By definition, a decision support system is an information system that supports business and organizational decision-making. Refer to the graphic for detail on the mini-courses in this stream.
Database Administrator Stream
Database Administrators (DBAs) ensure Data Analysts can easily use the database to find information they need and the system performs as it should. Refer to the graphic for detail on the mini-courses in this stream.
Analyst Stream
The dTIMS Analyst will rely on the Database Administrator to maintain an accurate database. The Analyst will use dTIMS to generate an analysis and interpret the results. Refer to the graphic for detail on the mini-courses in this stream.
Implementer Stream
This dTIMS Stream will be utilized primarily by Deighton consultants. You will learn to gather all data sources from the client team and structure and load dTIMS with that data. Additionally, you will gather all analysis requirements from the client team and configure all analysis objects and work until the analysis is giving desired results.
