Certification Databricks Engineer Associate - Change of topic/terminology

[ndesai]

@Cert-Team 

I had been preparing for Databricks Data Engineer Associate exam. With UK Holidays I was obliged to appear for exam on 29th July 2025 but there is a high degree of change in terminology, topics and questions. I accept with all responsibility for not passing the exam but the margin of failure was attributed to new terminology, topics in the exam which I was not aware of.

Request to DB Team > Humble request - This certification exam require lot of effort and are not cheap so my request is to provide people like me some leverage for a reattempt. And also when checked the notification message which I missed came just two days before my scheduled attempt so ideally this should have been communicated much in advance as two days is too less for such a big change in exams. Hope you consider my genuiene request.

Update for everyone : No help whatsoever provided after raising the ticket. The support team is just in some hurry of closing the case. But thats fine - there is limited we could do here as a candidate and they can make a major change to the entire exam content with just two days notice before exam. Life is unfair 🙂
