Hi Everyone,

Prepping for the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam and looking for good practice resources before I sit for it.

Where I'm at: solid with SQL and Python, completed the Data Engineer learning path(know the fundamentals (Delta Lake,Lakehouse,Databricks SQL,workflows), and have written some PySpark pipelines to get handson.

Looking for practice exams/question banks close to the real thing, and any hands-on labs to sharpen Spark Delta Lake concepts.
Free or paid both welcome.

Thanks!

Hello @Unikita,

It looks like you already have a solid foundation for the exam!

You can also use the AI Prep Guide, a free, exam-agnostic resource that shows you how to effectively use any AI chatbot to prepare for Databricks certification exams.

Regarding hands-on labs, if you prefer guided labs, you can check out the Databricks Academy Labs subscription. It's a paid offering that includes hands-on labs for multiple courses, including those in the Data Engineer learning path.

For personal practice, Databricks Free Edition is a great option. You can use it to build and test ETL workflows, and other data engineering projects.

These resources should help you as you get closer to your exam. Best of luck with your preparation!
