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.

As part of the virtual learning festival, I am going through the LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING module. In the video and the modules, I can see number of notebooks that are showed for the demo. Is it possible to get the notebooks and the data which are shown in the demo for the practice. I couldn't find those materials in the modules. Can someone help me?

Just playing with "Deploy Workloads with Lakeflow Jobs"

the classroom 1 setup interferes with the instruction from the video.

I guess in the setup an sales table gets created but when you create this table manually which does not work like suggested in the instruction as well the task creating order fails. I find that a bit odd that in the order creation a setup is call which defines the sales_bronze which should be covered by the other task, right?


Below you can see the class room setup-1 which is called from which is called by 1.1 Creating Orders Table

import os

my_query = f'''
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE {DA.catalog_name}.{DA.schema_name}.sales_bronze
AS
SELECT * FROM dbacademy_retail.v01.sales'''

folder_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "Task Files", "Lesson 1 Files")
new_filename = "1.2 - Creating sales table - SQL Query"

create_sql_editor_file(sql_query = my_query,
folder_path = folder_path,
filename = new_filename,
default_catalog=f'{DA.catalog_name}',
default_schema=f'{DA.schema_name}')

it should be

I just completed the learning path for Databricks data engineering associate. Will I get a mail to intimate that I completed the certification and I will get the voucher?. I am bit concerned as I finished the first course of the learning path before October 10 but did the rest in the time window of the festival.

Hi I have question related courses.

There are some demo videos present in courses where to find datasets/ notebooks used in course. I tried to find via google search and also on github but not able to locate material used.

Thank you.
