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

  • Exam name

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

Hi @Cert-Team @Certus 

I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I encountered during my recent Databricks Data Analyst exam. Unfortunately, the exam was suspended due to technical difficulties with the video streaming, which appeared to be outside my control.

During the exam, the video stream paused for the first time, and a customer support representative intervened to relaunch the exam. A reschedule link was sent but the link was sent for the timeslot while i was on call with the technical representative so I couldn't check it on time. 

However, the stream paused again, and I attempted to diagnose the issue by closing and reopening the camera to determine if it was a camera or streaming issue. Subsequently, another customer support representative conducted a thorough room check and instructed me to focus on the exam. I was very cooperative and showed everything whatever he asked .Shortly after, the exam was unexpectedly suspended.

It seems the suspension was due to a technical issue with the video stream rather than any action on my part. I kindly request that you review this matter and consider rescheduling the exam at the earliest convenience.

Kindly reschedule as soon as possible .I must do this certification Kindly reschedule as soon as possible.

Hello,

I recently took the Data Engineer Associate Exam, and unfortunately, it was suspended without any explanation. During the exam, I complied with all the instructions provided by the proctor team, including showing my entire room as requested. I would also like to bring to your attention that my test was paused multiple times during the session. Despite this, I followed all the instructions from the proctor team. They mentioned they needed time to review the recording, but shortly thereafter, the exam was suspended without any clarification regarding the reason. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter and providing further details about the suspension. Additionally, I would like to emphasize the urgency of this issue as I need the certification as soon as possible for my current requirements.

I am attaching the ticket number for your reference: 00602713.

Hi @Cert-TeamOPS and @Cert-Team ,

Help in resuming my Databricks Generative AI Engineering certification exam which got suspended for no wrong doing. 

My Databricks Generative AI Engineering certification got suspended this morning without doing anything unfair or employing any unethical means. This is very disappointing as I have invested a lot of time in preparing for this exam. I was interrupted 3 times during the exam for no proper reason and I had to face this ordeal without employing any unfair means. Sequence of events that happened are:

  1. I was warned about looking elsewhere. However, I was just thinking and not doing anything wrong.
  2. After few minutes, my test got paused and I had to wait for an agent for 5-7 minutes. Once the agent was live, he immediately messaged saying there was an error and assured me that there won’t be any more interruptions. Also, I was suggested to close my eyes when I am thinking and not look elsewhere. I followed the said advice to avoid any more hindrance.
  3. After a few minutes, again my test got paused, this time for no reason at all. After waiting for 5-7 minutes, an agent came live again and asked to show where my laptop was placed and the whole room. Though, my room was well lit and I took all the precautions as suggested, my exam got suspended and I was being asked to reach out to Databricks support.

Request you to help me resume the test again at the earliest, so that I can successfully complete the exam.
