Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering

Trying to complete the free self paced course Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering.

I understand that you need to pay for subscription of Academy Labs to be able to have access to the material.

This subscription is $200. And if you intend to purchase individual labs that's $75. Does this $200 really gives you the access to all of them (110) for an year?

You can pay . but in my opinion the best way to learn is getting hands on . Dont rush . Lets the concepts sink in and spend time building your own demos that are similar to what you seen in the course . There are plenty of ways to do that with the latest Gen AI tools (Claude code ,Chatgpt , Perplexity ) available out there .Here is how I would setup and use claude code with databricks.

If I pay $1500 for Databricks Blended Learning or $200 Databricks Academy Labs; will I get access to associated lab environments too? Because I see the free version (for example: https://customer-academy.databricks.com/learn/courses/3603/get-started-with-databricks-for-data-warehousing/lessons/38845/demo-using-delta-lake-features-with-databricks-sql) talks about Classroom setup. In my environment I don't have that SQL file nor do I have dedicate compute for lab environment. How can I ensure I can successfully follow along.
