Hello All,

I just want to confirm if the Databricks Spark Developer certification is included in the voucher, because I noticed there are some courses about Spark.

Thank you

You'll need to complete the self-paced modules (linked within the OP) to qualify for the 50% certification discount code, but please feel free to leverage your academy labs subscription as well if you'd like to gain hands-on experience with the labs! ๐Ÿ™‚

Really looking forward to this festival! Itโ€™s a great chance to brush up on data engineering and AI skills while connecting with others in the community. The certification discount is a nice bonus, but the real value is the learning itself. Thanks to the Databricks team for putting this together!
