Resources to prepare for Data Engineer Professional certification

Sree99 — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 04:02:43 GMT

I have been doing self paced training "Advanced Data Engineering" in databricks as part of preparation for Data Engineer Professional certification. However, I realised the training is too simplified for the certification objectives.

Are there any other resources or methods to finish the certification successful?

Being asking this question for months. There was an ILT training on the last week of April but they canceled it citing they needed to restructure the course. No practice exams, nothing around, it's practically a shot in the dark. I got a voucher and used it for taking a shot (in the dark 😞 I'd add). Will see how it goes. A huge percentage of the first takers failed it due to missing materials to prepare for it

I passed the exam last week and I strongly advise to complement the Advanced Data Engineering courses with the Apache Spark Developer Learning path. It's also very useful to not just take the courses but also look through Spark/Databricks documentation the courses link to. A lot of the questions require a deep understanding of what happens in back-end in terms of optimizations etc. Taking the courses alone and going through the labs won't get you far in my opinion...Timing is also limited with 2hours for 60questions, so you won't have a ton of time to think about every question.

Well, I have been looking for the preparation materials since December. Seems like Databricks needs to plan things.
