Congratulations! Please note all vouchers will be distributed on February 06
I completed all 4 modules in LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING
Now as I understand, all I have to do is wait till Feb 6th to get a 50% discount voucher, which can be used for the certification exam.
Is there anything else I need to do to get the voucher?
that's correct - no further action required 🙂
Hi, How will I practice the labs in this self paced ;earning journey. Thanks a lot for your support
We'll be providing a 20% discount on a Databricks Academy Labs subscription to participants on February 06 if you'd like to practice any of the hands-on labs
Hello @Jim_Anderson
I am doing some courses, and I can see that some of them are not enable and it makes as in progress and not completed.
Example: The Data Skew session was not enabled:
Could you please explain it to me?
It's enabled, just not completed. You need to review all of the slides within this section for it to be recorded as completed.
my bad, I did not see the slides arrows.
thank you
I am trying to access the self‑paced courses under Learning Pathway 6: Generative AI Engineering, but my system is not allowing me to enroll. Instead, I receive a notification and get redirected to Partner Academy courses. If I complete the four modules through Partner Academy, will I still be eligible to receive the discount coupons?
No, please note this initiative is only open to Customer Academy users.
I completed all 4 modules of the Data Engineer Associate course. The voucher hasn't been sent to my email yet; is it only sent in February?
Yes, as per the post, all emails will be distributed on February 06
Hello Databricks Community ,
Hello @Jim_Anderson .
I'm currently taking the "Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect" course from the Data Engineer Learning Plan (free self-paced version).
In the demo videos, the instructor references notebooks like "02 - Data Ingestion with CREATE TABLE AS and COPY INTO", but I cannot find where to access these demo notebooks.
Are demo notebooks available for the free version of this course, or only with the Labs subscription?
Thank you!
All training notebooks are exclusively available through the Databricks Academy Labs subscription
Hello @Jim1 , Do we need to complete Quiz from each module (Ex: LEARNING PATHWAY 6: GENERATIVE AI ENGINEERING) to qualify for the voucher and discount to platform?
Yes, please complete all elements of the course.
Hi @Jim_Anderson , I have enrolled the one of the module in one of the learning path before learning festival i.e before 9th Jan 2026. But now I have completed on Jan 21st 2026 . Am I eligible?
Yes, all completions between January 9 - 30 are eligible
@Jim_Anderson , Why Its showing as empty? Even after completing the one of the module in the one of the learning path.
