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.

I did the same process as you did. I finished exactly the same lesson for the same examination. @Jim_Anderson  could you tell us how we will receive the voucher code for our examination !
Thanks !

 

All vouchers will be distributed after the event has concluded in early November. No additional action required - this will be sent to the email associated to your academy account ๐Ÿ™‚

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.

Its through the Databricks Academy Labs Subscription. We will be providing a 20% discount code to all learning festival participants after the event has concluded in early November ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi Jim,

Many thanks for sharing this. I have completed "LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING" today. When can I expect my 50% voucher?

Angad

 

They are monitoring. If you preformed the task within the timeframe, it will be applied to your account. 

I'm here to learn and to help.

Thanks Angad, we'll be distirbuting all vouchers after the event has concluded in early November. Thanks for participating!

if i complete a learning course for associate data engineer. can i still use the voucher for any other certification or the specific learning path which i have completed?  Also, if we finish two learning paths, will we get multiple vouchers?

You only get 1 coupon during the learning session. You can complete all of them, and then pick which test to take. That's how it works. 

I'm here to learn and to help.

ฮœr @SevnSins  do you know when are we going to receive the voucher codes? For someone who has already completed a training path !

They have mentioned it already, in early november.

Is the voucher also issued to those who complete a training on the Partner Academy platform?

No, to reiterate, this event is only open to users within Customer Academy. All of the enrollment links included within the original post direct to Customer Academy accordingly. You cannot qualify for the incentives using a Partner Academy account

How can we complete teh labs without a Databricks Academy Labs subscription.

You do not need to complete the labs within any of the self-paced learning pathways included within the event.

Labs are purely optional to reinforce your understanding, and are available through the Databricks Academy Labs subscription

Thanks for the update.

Hello,Could someone please help me and explain the procedure, as I have not understood how to connect the DBACADEMY database (with its contents) and the server shown in the lectures. I need to establish this connection in order to start practicing practically, beyond the videos and slides in the workplace.

Also, is the purpose of the festival essentially to complete the eight existing sections (modules/units) by October 31st? Or is there something else involved?
