Yes, providing you complete an alternative learning pathway within the future event (since we only log the initial date a learning pathway is completed)

Hi Jim can you please confirm if we can access the notebooks from these series?

Thanks for sharing and give the feelings of doing something together! 😊👏
And very good motivation to achieve something in the first month of the year.👍

Hi @Jim_Anderson ,
I started the Apache Spark Developer course three days ago and have already completed two modules. Two modules are left. Will I be eligible if I complete at least one or both of the remaining modules between January 8 and January 31?

Thank you,

Jim_Anderson

Yes, so long as you complete the remaining modules between January 9 - 30, you will be included within the incentive distribution in early February

Hi guys , to be eligible for vouchers can I begin learning now ?

Jim_Anderson

Yes, please just complete the modules between January 9 - 30

Looking forward to start on the window time.

Orisky

Actually hoping the platform has been fixed. Went through a complete model for the October session, and did not get a voucher as thr system did not completely log it

Jim_Anderson

Could you share the email with your academy account so I can investigate this further? To clarify though, all elements of the module material need to be listed as completed for the completion to be captured

My Pathway has 4 modules. To be eligible for the discount coupon, I can start the modules today, but I need to complete the 4th module between January 9 - January 30. Am I right?

same question i had

Jim_Anderson

Yes, to confirm please complete the modules between January 09 - January 30 in order to qualify 🙂

Jim_Anderson

Correct 🙂

khurramniazye

the 50% discount reward on completion is only for Databricks Customers or is it also given to individual learners?

Jim_Anderson

No, to clarify it is for any individual who completes the courses above within Databricks Customer Academy (which can be both existing customers, or just individual learners). We make this distinction since there is also a Databricks Partner Academy - but to confirm this initiative is only open to Databricks Customer Academy users

Hi @Jim_Anderson,
Once we receive the voucher by email after completing the learning pathway, could you please confirm what the expiry date is for the voucher (i.e., how long we have to schedule and take the exam before it expires)?
Thanks in advance!

Jim_Anderson

The expiry date for the vouchers is 02 May 2026 - instructions on how to schedule the exam and leverage the discounts will be provided to participants via email on February 06 🙂

If I started the module in the past but never completed and I finish them in the learning window am I still illegible?

pratikgadia

I have same question. Can someone please help clarify this

Had started one of the modules in Oct-2025. If I complete those with Jan 9-30 window, am I still eligible for the voucher?

Thanks!
