Certification Voucher Partner Academy

Hi Team

Are there any certification vouchers for learners from the partner academy?

Yes, certification exam vouchers are frequently available for learners through partner training programs (such as AWS Partner Certification Readiness, Google Cloud Partner/Skills Boost programs, and Microsoft-affiliated partner tracks), provided specific completion criteria are met.

Thanks @cochin78mark , I would appreciate any more information of the partner training programs and criteria required.

Hi Carl,

Short answer: yes, but it is a discount rather than a free voucher, and it does
not come from the Partner Academy portal itself. The documented partner benefit
is free access to Databricks Academy courses plus a 50% discount on
certification exam attempts. So the Partner Academy is where the training sits,
but the discount is handled separately.

That said, it depends a lot on the company. Some partners do hand out a full
voucher once you complete the certification learning path, so it is worth
asking your Partner Admin before assuming the 50% is all you get. They are the
ones who know how your organisation's allocation works.

One thing to keep in mind if you end up requesting one: it will only be sent to
an email address on your partner domain, not a personal one.
