I cleared the Databricks Certified Generative AI Engineer Associate end of last month. Few things that I followed,

Of course, picking up the GENERATIVE AI ENGINEERING Learning path here,
There is very nice course Large Language Models (LLMs): Application through Production, in the Customer Academy which is very helpful to prep for the certificate.
Go through the Exam outlines in the Databricks Certified Generative AI Engineer Associate - Exam Guide.

Enjoy the experience of learning this & you should be good to go...

This virtual event is very useful for learning and gaining a valuable certificate.

i am planning to start LEARNING PATHWAY 7: APACHE SPARK DEVELOPER learning path and hope to get done before event ends

When I complete a learning pathway, how do I know that I’ve met the conditions to be eligible for the 50% discount voucher?

Jim_Anderson

Assuming you complete the listed courses during this duration, you will be eligible. Within Academy itself, the status of the course should transition to completed once you have watched all videos within the learning pathway.

I have few following concerns on this virtual festival.
1) How do the databricks team track which account is able to complete a Learning Path ?
2) The registered account for Community login and Customer login should be same ? or Can they be different ?
3) If we are able to complete more than one learning path, Are we going to receive 50% off on all completed databricks learning paths ?

Only 1 certification voucher will be given, regardless of the number of learning paths you complete. That is what I've seen in previous requests for this question.

I'm here to learn and to help.

Jim_Anderson

1) We track course completions for each Learning Pathway through the Databricks Academy Platform - there is no action required from participants.

2) They can be different. In early November, the incentives will be sent to the email associated with your Academy account.

3) No, each individual will be limited to one.

One consult, where are the PDFs of examples that are mentioned on videos of GENERATIVE AI ENGINEERING.
On the first module Generative AI Solution Development have demo but the labs with the material are not there.
Where I found the material?

Hi Jim,
I signed in but noticed that I am redirected to the PARTNER portal. Is this festival offer only for CUSTOMERS?

Hi Everyone,

I have chosen the LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING,
but I’ve noticed that the course only contains slides.
The slides continue to show as “In Progress” even after I move to the next ones.

Is there a way to mark them as “Complete”, or is this the intended behavior of the course?

NithyaS

Once you complete all the slides, it automatically completes that particular lesson and no option to mark complete on your own.

Hi Pradyutjoshi25

I also had that issue, but then I noticed that selecting the "next lesson button" at the top right hand of the portal skips to next lesson without completing the current. When you are in the lesson, you need to go through all the pages of that lesson by selecting next at the bottom left of the page until all pages are completed, then you can go to the next lesson.

Jim_Anderson

You need to watch the entirety of the course video to be classed as completed 🙂

Hi Team,
How can we access the notebooks which are used in lessons?.

Jim_Anderson

We don't provide access to the notebooks. If you'd like hands on experience with the labs, please leverage the 20% discount on a Databricks Academy labs Annual subscription that will be provided to participants in early November 🙂

ysrakeshgupta

do we need to subscribe for Databricks Academy Labs for practicing along with learning? since 20% discount we will get after finishing the learning..

Jim_Anderson

No, these are purely self-paced (video-only) learning pathways 🙂
