Thanks in advance.

@Arijit14, I can see you're a Databricks Partner, I assume that means you'll have access to this area: https://partner-academy.databricks.com/learn/catalog/view/89
and here: https://partner-academy.databricks.com/pages/47/partner-labs 

You can find the specific lab you're after in the repository. There's also the cohorts you can enrol on (which are awesome and have all the labs included in them). The Data Engineering Cohort launched last week, you can sign up for next month's cohort or try to enrol on the current one

@victor20 if you're a customer, I think there will be a dedicated area, similar to what I linked above to get to the labs. I'm not sure if you'll need to pay for them. If you find them with the information I provided above, could you let us know? 🙂

All the best,
BS

@BS_THE_ANALYST ,

Thank you very much for your assistance the other day. I followed your suggestion and clicked the first link (Partner Academy). It navigated me to the Partner Academy page where I can see multiple lab modules listed, and I applied the language filter to narrow them down.

I then tried searching for a specific topic—Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect, which is the lecture I am currently working through. The search results did show some relevant lab entries.

However, I am having difficulty identifying the exact lab or labs that correspond to that lecture. In other words, I see related labs in the list, but I am not sure which one is specifically meant for the Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect session.

Could you please advise on how I can find and confirm the correct lab(s) for that lecture? I appreciate your guidance and thank you again for your help.

Sincerely,

Arijit

@Arijit14, I've done some digging, and I think I've found what you're after.

Couple of things worth sharing here so you can better navigate things for yourself next time. 

Firstly, click on the burger menu, once you're in the partner academy

Then go to the "Course Catalog" & you just need to do some scrolling in there. I found all sorts of good stuff, I will admit it took a few minutes to dig around 🤔🤣.

One of the areas I found the labs for the Data Engineering Associate & Professional labs:

So you don't have to scroll: 

Data Engineering Associate: https://partner-academy.databricks.com/learn/catalog/view/150 

Data Engineering Associate and Professional (all labs) https://partner-academy.databricks.com/learn/learning-plans/10/data-engineer-learning-plan I found these by going into learning plans rather than the course catalog:

@Arijit14 long-winded answer but hopefully you'll be able to navigate the partner academy for other learning path labs. Ideally, they'd be attached the learning path itself.

All the best,
BS

@BS_THE_ANALYST 

First of all, thank you again for your continued support.

I was primarily looking for lab access corresponding to the specific lectures. It would be quite helpful if the relevant lab links were directly embedded within each lecture for easier navigation.

That said, I was able to locate a few related labs in the Partner Academy; however, it required quite a bit of scrolling to find them.

Once again, I truly appreciate your guidance and help throughout this process.
