Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate - Any advice

trevizo — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 01:00:29 GMT

I'm taking the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate. Since never before have I worked as a data engineer, was wondering if any of you people have any advice to me.
I'm sure I'm not the only one preparing for the certification, so this post could probably help us all.

Feel free to reply whatever you may see as helpful.
Cheers everyone!!

Hello @trevizo,

The best way to prepare for a Databricks certification exam is to review the comprehensive exam guide. It also contains sample questions. The exam guide can be found in the "Getting Ready for the Exam" section of the exam webpage: https://www.databricks.com/learn/certification/data-engineer-associate

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks for the reply @SBL !
I'll be taking the exam one month from today.
I've been following the official exam guide as part of my preparation, but since I don’t have direct work experience as a data engineer, I’m just looking for general tips or suggestions. I want to go in as prepared as possible. Thanks!
