If I complete Learning Path 1 (including all four modules) before 30th October, will I be eligible to receive the 50% certification voucher?

Also, I’d like to know if there is any lab or practical assignment that needs to be submitted to Databricks as part of the verification process for completing the learning path.

Thank you in advance for your help!

@FervaBatool Yes, you'll be eligible - no need of submitting to Databricks.

Do we need to finish Labs as well  to get the voucher ?

Suppose i complete 2 track say Data Engineering Associate and Data Engineering Professional, would i be allowed to decide on the track for which voucher can be issued?

 

I think voucher is common for all exams. You should be able to use it for any Databricks exam.

I have completed Databricks Fundamental Accreditation, Get Started with Databricks Platform Administration, Generative AI Fundamentals and I am ready to take Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam. 
Is there any posibility to receive 50% off Databricks Certification?

"️Users who complete at least one self-paced learning pathway within Customer Academy between October 10 and October 31 will receive the following incentives"

What if I complete the learning pathway before October 10? Will I still get the 50% off coupon?

I understood that we can start earlier, but we need to complete the trail between October 10 and 31, correct?

I asked the same question some time ago, on another learning festivals.
that was de answer by the admin

SevnSins

What if I already started and watched 1 video? Do I just watch it again on the 10th? This doesn't seem organized that well if we all have these questions.

Agree. @Jim_Anderson 
I have a few questions for clarification. 
1. If I start before the date but finish during the time period, does it count? Or must you start and end a track during the provided time period? 
2. How does DataBricks know I've completed a track? And how do I receive a voucher when I complete it during this time frame? Are you guys just monitoring our accounts and once complete you'll just send it to my email?
