Haven't received Badge for Apache Spark 3.0 Associate Dev certification

Atharva_Salunke — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 13:42:07 GMT

I have given my exam on 8/10/2021 and have passed it, subsequently I received me certificate but haven't received the badge associated with it yet, its been almost 2 weeks since I received the certificate and have raised 2 requests through the main contact page but didn't get any reply for it and the url associated with it isn't accessible, any ideas whom to contact for the same?

@Piper Wilson and/or @Kaniz Fatma can help with redirect issue.

How was exam difficulty?

Hi @Atharva Salunke From what I've seen in the past, it can take a couple of weeks before folks receive their badge.

It was medium I suppose, some questions were straight forward and for some had to skim through the documentation, overall it was on the easier side

Oh because few of my colleagues have received it on the same day as when they received the certificate. The issue is actually not being able to access the raised ticket and knowing if there's any progress, thanks for replying

ok more question 🙂 How you prepare for the exam (books, courses stc.)? Any special recommendations? Have you used some example list of questions?

Go through spark the definitive guide, this book is very well written and explains all you need . "Sections I, II, and IV of Spark: The Definitive Guide and Chapters 1-7 of Learning Spark should also be helpful in preparation" as quoted on the main page but in my experience 'Learning spark' was a bit haphazard. Also try the practice exam provided as it gives a complete idea of what to expect and questions were similar, all books have notebooks attached with it, you can use community edition for practicing those.

Hi @Atharva Salunke the badge has been issued. Can you confirm it's been received?

Re: Haven't received Badge for Apache Spark 3.0 Associate Dev certification

Atharva_Salunke — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 17:08:57 GMT

Yes just checked it, Thank you @Juliet Wu and @Kaniz Fatma for the swift resolution.

I have been issued a new certificate along with the badge ,so the previous is void right?

Hello I think there's some confusion, I have received the badge way back when I had confirmed it. There seems to be an issue with another user not me, I have received the badge and the certificate. @Juliet Wu @Kaniz Fatma
