can you please help me to get the access to this workspace?

The lab access is on the next slide.  But I don't recommend you continue as this course is being discontinued and there will be another in time.  The lab links to the csv files are broken and they are moving away from S3 buckets.  So it is impossible to complete even the first lab task.

Thanks for the heads‑up! It’s a shame the course is being sunsetted before the labs are fixed. A couple of suggestions if you still want to try:

1. Reach out to the instructor or support team — they may have an updated link or mirror for the CSVs, even if the S3 buckets are being retired.

2. Check for a GitHub repo or shared folder — sometimes course materials get migrated to GitHub when official links break.

3. Use your own sample data — you can often complete the first lab task with any similarly structured CSVs just to work through the steps.

If none of those pan out, it might be best to wait for the replacement course, but in the meantime, you can still practice the core skills on publicly available datasets (Kaggle, UCI, etc.). Good luck!

@EmmaPotthastBJS @Advika Thank you for the posts and do you have a ETA of when the courses will be available?

I mean these ones  AI/BI for Data Analysts and SQL Analytics on Databricks

Hello @VikramGanapathi!

The self-paced "Data Analysis with Databricks" course was retired on May 19, 2025.
The replacement courses, AI/BI for Data Analysts and SQL Analytics on Databricks, are now available on the Academy. 
For Instructor-Led Training (ILT) sessions, Data Analysis with Databricks is still available. It is a combination of the AI/BI for Data Analysts and SQL Analytics on Databricks courses.

Thanks for the updates! Just wondering if there's an estimated release date for the AI/BI for Data Analysts and SQL Analytics on Databricks courses? Really looking forward to them!

I am also looking for access to the Vocareum workspace. Any advice is appreciated.

Hey - Your total lab usage time of 900 minutes has exceeded the total allocated time of 900 minutes

is it possible to ask for a restart of allocated time?
