Study Materials for Databricks Context Engineer Associate (Beta) Exam

[Ramana]

Hello,

I'm planning to take the Databricks Certified Context Engineer Associate – Beta exam at the Summit and wanted to reach out to see if anyone has study materials, notes, or resources they'd recommend reviewing beforehand.

For reference, here are the official links:

• Certification overview: Databricks Context Engineer Associate
• Exam guide (PDF): Beta Exam Guide

If you've come across any helpful prep material — practice questions, documentation, blog posts, or internal resources — I'd really appreciate you sharing.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Ramana,

Beyond the official guide and announcement, these seem like useful supplemental resources:

• Agentic Systems: Deploy and Evaluate RAG Apps with Databricks AI
• Databricks docs on authoring/deploying agents on Databricks Apps
• MCP: Advancing your agentic AI with MCP - A travel planning use-case on Databricks
• MLflow eval / AgentOps: From Traces to Evaluation: An Autonomous MLflow Agent Harness for AI AgentOps
• Vector Search / ACL: Mastering RAG Chatbot Security: ACL and Metadata Filtering with Mosaic AI Vector Search.

And all the very best for the exam! 👍

Hi @Advika Thank you for the sources , could you please let me know if this exam is available for free for Virtual attendees ?

Hi @DataGeeks09 No. One free attempt will be offered onsite at Summit - walk ins only & no reservations.

I’m also preparing for the Context Engineer Associate beta. The official exam guide and Databricks documentation are good starting points, especially around retrieval, memory, MCP, governance, and context management.
