Taking exams is so stressful already, and if your exam gets suspended it is extra stressful. Don't worry! Our support team is awesome and will help you get back on track.

The most important step is to file a ticket in our Help Center. Be sure to include the following details in your ticket:

  • Username
  • Exam name

NOTE: Please do not post your exam username publicly, such as here in the community forums, as this is private information.

The process will be faster if you can also offer a couple of dates/times that you are available to resume your exam. Once the support team has you rescheduled, you can log into your test taker account and resume your exam exactly where you left off. For more information please visit Certification FAQ

Request: #00720996
I had scheduled my Databricks [Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional] certification exam for 17 August 2025 at 5:15 PM IST. However, when I checked today, the system showed my exam time as 5:15 AM IST. Because of this discrepancy, I was unable to attend, and now it shows that my exam window has passed.
 
This is extremely concerning, as I had prepared extensively and paid ₹21,000 for this exam. I am attaching screenshots of my booking confirmation and the current exam status for your review.
 
Request Databricks Support teams to please look into this urgently. I kindly request either a reschedule at no additional cost or guidance on the next steps, as this appears to be a scheduling/time-zone error on the platform.
 
Thank you very much for your understanding and support.

Hello Kryterion/Databricks Support,

My Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional exam (scheduled on September 4, 2025) was suspended after being paused several times. The first couple of pauses were due to technical difficulties, but later I was asked to show my room multiple times in the same setting. Each time I complied, and the proctor confirmed everything was fine, yet the exam was still suspended.

I am really worried about this situation, as I followed all the proctor's instructions carefully. Could you please review this case and advise whether my exam can be resumed or rescheduled as soon as possible?

Request Number: #00732191

Thank you for your urgent assistance

Hi @cert-ops 

My Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional exam (scheduled on September 6, 2025, 16:15 PM EST) was suspended after being paused several times. First of all, it took almost 20 minutes to take my photo after contacting the Kryterion support team and multiple system restarts. After that, first couple of pauses were due to the issue that the proctor was not able to see my full face, but later I was asked to show my room multiple times in the same setting. I am using a desktop with camera mounted on it. Each time I complied, and the proctor confirmed everything was fine. There was only one mistake from my side that my phone rang once during the test, so I had to show the proctor my phone’s location using the webcam (phone was way beyond my reach during the assessment). As instructed by the proctor, I left my seat and switched off the phone and shown the location again to the proctor. I have completed 64 out of 65 questions and was about to submit the assessment, that time the exam got suspended.

I took instructor led training from Databricks and prepared myself for the assessment but now I am really worried about this situation, as I followed all the proctor's instructions carefully. Could you please review this case and advise whether my exam can be resumed or rescheduled as soon as possible?
