Hi Harun,

I hope you’re doing well.

I saw your post on the Databricks Certified Lounge and wanted to connect. I'm aiming to get both the Associate and Professional Data Engineer certifications from Databricks by the end of August. I’ve completed the "Azure Databricks & Spark For Data Engineers (PySpark / SQL)" course by Ramesh Retnasamy on Udemy.

Could you recommend additional resources or strategies to prepare for these certifications?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,
Deepak

for details on the exam pattern. Additionally, the documentation includes sample questions that can help you assess your hands-on skills and practice effectively.

Hi @deepaksati ,

To prepare for the Databricks certification, I recommend reviewing the official documentation to understand the requirements and align them with your learnings. Additionally, you should complete the official practice test for the Associate certification. For the Professional level, I suggest gaining some hands-on experience with the concepts covered in the certification documentation before attempting the exam.

Associate Certification:

• Associate Certification Details
• Associate Practice Test

Professional Certification:

Best of luck with your preparation!
