Databricks Academy content for Azure Databricks Customers

verargulla — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 22:58:02 GMT

Hi! We've recently provisioned an Azure Databricks workspace and started building our pipelines. Do we qualify as Databricks 'customers' who have free access to all self-paced content on Databricks Academy? If so, how do we access it? We don't have any account managers as we provisioned the workspace ourselves on our Azure subscription.

I signed up to Databricks Academy using the email address which provisioned the Azure Databricks resource but I still see only publicly available training content (which is not free).

Please help! I contacted Databricks Training support by email but they don't respond (been three days now). 😞

Thanks @Kaniz Fatma

However, I have done that prior to posting here, and it's been close to a week but I haven't heard back from the training team, hence I posted here.

My request # is 00234178. Maybe someone here knows how to escalate?

Hi @Vidula Khanna , unfortunately, your Training Support Team never replied to me after several follow ups.

What I did and this is what I would suggest others to do: Add Databricks Sales people on LinkedIn in your city/region (I'm in Sydney) and message them there directly. That's what worked for me, which, as a customer, is I guess not the best experience.

They changed the registration process and added 'Additional Fields' section, where you can provide your company email address, that you use in Azure Databricks. This worked automatically for me and I can access the self-paced trainings for free now.
