I am interested in "LEARNING PATHWAY 7: APACHE SPARK DEVELOPER", however I am not able to locate the respective content link. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

The links to the modules are included within the table of the original post 🙂

Thank you @Matthew_7 for your reply.

I tried opening "https://customer-academy.databricks.com/learn/learning-plans/160/apache-spark-developer-learning-pla..." link but it is not working. It is showing me a message saying "Not Authorized To Access Customer Academy". Any idea ?

Jim_Anderson

It looks like you have a Partner Academy account associated with this email address. Please register for a Customer Academy account with an alternative email address to access this content.

@ML_225 , first sign up to the databricks academy if you haven't done that, then visit here: https://customer-academy.databricks.com/pages/29/customer-academy-home-page

Beneath databricks academy, hit course catalog, then scroll down to "DB001 [FREE Self-Paced] Databricks Academy - Role-Based/Specialty Learning Path Catalog". You's find it among a series of other speciality courses.

how can I get access to Databricks lab ?

Matthew_7

@ankita_meher , I think that's possible if you do sign up for the instructor-led public event or lecture.

So this course is to watch and learn, no hands on ?

Jim_Anderson

To confirm, there are no hands on within our self-paced learning pathways - this is video content only.

Will the certification discount be provided to all learners who successfully complete the required self-paced courses during this window, or is the discount applicable only to selected or shortlisted participants?

Jim_Anderson

It will be applicable to all users who complete at least one of the learning pathways between January 9 - January 30. It will be distributed to the email address associated with your Academy account on February 06

I have completed the Learning Pathway 1 (see yellow box in screenshot). Is there any reason why the completed pathway is not badged like the completed pathway from apache spark (see green box in screenshot)

Is the learning pathway 1 complete?

Jim_Anderson

Congratulations! The only reason this is different is because the Data Engineering learning pathway actually includes both the associate and professional level modules. If you were to complete all of the professional modules too, it would also display in the same manner.

But please note there is no immediate need to do this, providing you completed at least one of the associate modules after January -9, you'll have met the qualification criteria for the incentives.

Hi Team,

Please let me know if this 50% discount on Databricks Certification is applicable only to Customer Academy or even the Partner Academy people can benefit from it.

Jim_Anderson

This event is exclusively aimed at Customer Academy users.
