I’m Matthew Barr, a data engineer and founder of Verulam Blue Mint, a UK-based SaaS platform that helps learners build real, portfolio-ready projects using SQL, dbt & PySpark for roles in data engineering, analytics, and data science. At Verulam Blue Mint, I focus on giving you the kind of realistic, messy-data experience you’d get in an actual data team—minus the office politics.
I started my career in data science and, over time, moved into roles with a greater focus on data engineering. I’m a certified data engineer across major cloud platforms: Azure, Fabric, AWS, and Databricks. I’ve spent years building the kind of end-to-end data-cleaning pipelines and KPI workflows that you’ll practise in my courses.
Before moving fully into data, I spent nearly a decade in financial services as an actuarial analyst in London. That background means I care a lot about trustworthy numbers, repeatable logic, and being able to explain results clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Academically, I hold two master’s degrees from University College London: one in Data Science and one in Mathematics.
Through Verulam Blue Mint and my Udemy courses, my goal is simple: to help you bridge the gap between “I know some SQL/PySpark” and “I can run a serious data project that I’m proud to show on my CV, GitHub, and LinkedIn.”

This is second course from Matthew that I purchased. The first one was for the Journey and this was for the destination. To my surprise, I cleared the exam with a "pass" against every question. Seldom does it happen to me and the credit goes to this wonderful course. I feel this course prepares you for the exam. Highly recommended!

Great Course for practicing the exam. Matthew has provided environment similar to exam . He has taken really great efforts in creating the environment and questions. Yesterday I have got my test score passed with 100% results. I highly recommend this course and other 2 of his courses for practice.

Would recommend getting all 3 of Matthew Barr's practice courses for CCA175, and going over these questions. Once you feel confident with these questions, you will be more than prepared to pass the CCA175. Just passed exam with 100%.

Hi All, I have passed my CCA 175 on March 28th 2021, and this course helped a lot to get the real time (exam environment) practice.. and it is easy to install and start working on it.. solutions are also already given and we can verify.. i have practiced all the questions multiple times so that i can revise the string manipulations and simple functions which are very essential for the exam.. also even when you have a silly doubt , Matthew tries to help you in anyway possible.. so go for it.. Thank you.. :)

I took the three courses from Matthew Barr. The order of difficulty of the courses is: 1) CCA 175 Exam Prep Qs ptA, 2) CCA 175 Practice Tests, and 3) CCA 175 Exam Prep Qs ptB. All of them were very good and the type of questions were very similar to the ones in the exam. The level of difficulty of the first course (CCA 175 Exam Prep Qs ptA) is the same as the exam. The other two were a little more difficult. If you practice with these three courses is difficult not to pass the exam.

Thanks a ton Matthew. I passed CCA175 exam with 8/9. I have been longing to give the exam since long..you would laugh but 5 years back i thought, but with a little infant i couldn't gather courage and time. This time again with another 6 months little one, i came to know about your course on udemy and frankly speaking the virtual environment you have provided with the practice questions, its awesome. If i wouldnt have this virtual environment, i would still have kept on thinking how and where to practice. Only mantra to clear exam is practice and practice, questions are easy but its important to do in time, and since there is a lag and another server, it tests your patience. Thanks for providing such a wonderful course. This would be motivational post for all moms with new borns who dont have time to complete any certification. But such courses makes it comes true. Thanks once again.
By Yashohv on 3/24/2021
Its an excellent course to prepare for cca 175 . The vm and questions are very much sufficient for clearing the CCA 175 exam. I had taken all the 3 courses -CCA exam prep Q's pt A and B.Its good practice on ETL and Data Analytics. All 3 courses cover wide range of questions required for clearing the exam and prepares any one well and gives enough confidence for taking the exam. I highly recommend all the 3 courses by Matthew Barr.

By far, stands out from the other courses.
By sunil kumar on 2/1/2021
Hi All, This course is simply amazing. I just got my results today and I am happy to inform you all that I could scored 9 out 9. I am yet to get my certificate though. All thanks to Mathew. If you have really understood the questions and answers provided in this course , there is no reason why one cannot pass the test in his first attempt. Only catch is that one needs to practice each tests provided in this course in 2 hours time frame. That's the most important thing. I would strongly recommend to attend one test per day in the week heading to your actual certification test. This course not only mimics the questions but also the actual test environment to a large extent. The actual work environment is little slow. otherwise its almost same as what is present in this course. Best part is you just have to download the rar files of the VM and start practicing the test. Hi Mathew, I am extremely thankful for this wonderful course. Without this course, I could not have cleared this certification. All my best wishes to you for your future endeavors. Many Thanks again. Regards, Sunil Guntuku
