Hi guys. 
Do i need to complete all modules for data engineering analyst machine learning and spark to be eligible to get the 50% discount vouchers or just one is enough ?

You only need one required course, in which you wish to specialize.

Great initiative on the part of Databricks to be able to draw on pure knowledge on the subject.

I don't understand the decision behind having the practice labs available after one month of finishing the theory class. I think the labs discount should be provided during this learning festival to make it more effective.

Maybe you will consider this feedback for the next iteration of this event.
