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?

@Rgironr Yes, that's what this program is all about - give it a read, you'll be rewarded post completion.

"️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?

danieledu

hi!
you need to start October 10 and end until october 31. no before, not after

Gibon

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

danieledu

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.

I'm here to learn and to help.

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?

Sumit_7

@JR-Tolkien Clarification -
1. Yes, it counts.
2. They track through the courses taken and completed in the given period. Once complete, you'll receive it in your email.

Jim_Anderson

1. Yes, so long as you finish the course during the time period, you'll be considered eligible.

2. Yes, we monitor any of the completed courses during this timeframe. You will know when a course has been completed once a tick mark appears next to the content. To confirm, all vouchers will be sent out after the event has concluded (in early November)

JR-Tolkien

Thank you both!

Hi, some of the courses in the "learning pathways" described in the initiative are in English but has versions in other languages. If I conclude the couse in another language did I still elegigle to the discounts?

Sumit_7

@VolponA Yes, no language restriction - you're free to choose.

Hi everyone, I’m new to Databricks and have recently completed the Databricks Fundamentals and Generative AI Fundamentals accreditations. I come from an application development background and I’m interested in pursuing the Databricks Certified Generative AI Engineer Associate certification.

Could anyone share guidance, preparation tips, or recommended resources for this certification?

SevnSins

Have you selected your learning path for the event? I'm pretty sure it is in the list of options, but may be worded a little differently than what you are speaking about.

Thanks @SevnSins. Yes, I’ve chosen Learning Pathway 6: Generative AI Engineering. As someone new to AI, I’d like to confirm—would dedicating 8 hours to learning and hands-on lab practice within this pathway be sufficient to achieve certification?
