How to get Lab access provided by Vocareum

[Anantha_N]

Hi Team

I have enrolled in the AI/BI for Data Analyst course. Could you please advise how to get the access for LAB to follow the demo instructions in the course

Thanks

Hello @Anantha_N!

Are you enrolled in the self-paced version of the course? To clarify, lab materials are not available in self-paced courses. To access them, there are mainly two options:

• Enroll in the ILT (Instructor-Led Training) course - This will grant you seven-day access to the labs.
• Get a Databricks Academy Labs subscription - This is a better option if you want long-term access, as you will gain access to many self-paced courses, including the ones you mentioned, along with their lab materials for an entire year.

Thanks Advika for your swift response.

Hello @Advika , can you please verify that if self passed then no possibility to go trough the exercises in DEMO? Not even via the community? Are the materials somewhere available to get them? Thank you so much! I am trying to get some hands on while doing the self passed training, but lost some time figuring out is there a sandbox or another way to use the materials while using community (so no access to Marketplace as well). Thank you so much!

Hello @Rason!

If you're taking the self-paced version of the course, as mentioned above, the lab and demo notebooks aren't included in that learning. Databricks doesn't provide those materials elsewhere, including in the Databricks Free Edition or Community Edition. However, you can still explore and practice concepts in the Databricks Free Edition. While it has its limitations, it still offers a good environment for learners to get practical experience.

To access the full lab environment shown in the course, you can either enroll in an Instructor-led (ILT) session or get a Databricks Academy Labs subscription.

Hi Advika, I tried to get to the Lab suscription, but the weg page is not working. Could you please give me the correct link to access it?

Thank you very much.

@Gaby_ar  When you select the $200 lab subscription, it will display all the labs that you can use. You might have selected the $75 worth of AI/BI Data Analysts course lab upon selecting the yearly subscription. You should select the full $200 worth subscription for one full year, then you will have access to all the labs associated with it for that year. Hope this helps. I didn't subscribe for the annual subscription, but that's my understanding.

[Sri77]

@Advika I understand that we need to either have ILT or Databricks lab subscription. Could you just provide the access for the one I boxed it so I don't have to take the full year subscription ? If required, I can upgrade to the full subscription at a later time.

Please see the screen capture below.

Hello @Sri77,

Please note that this course cannot be purchased individually.
To access this course, you will need to purchase the Academy Lab Subscription ($200), which includes access to all self-paced courses along with the associated labs.

Hi Advika,

I have already paid $200. for Academy Lab Subscription but still I am not able to access Academy Labs. I request help regarding this. Thanks,

[Advika]

Hello @MrSky,

Could you please check if you’re able to see any courses listed under the Catalog in My Subscription tab? If no courses are visible there, I’d recommend raising a ticket with the Databricks Support team. They will be able to assist you further with this issue.

@Advika 
Do we still get the certificate if we don't do the lab ?
