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

Jim_Anderson

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.

Jim_Anderson

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?

Jim_Anderson

I've sent you a DM separately regarding the first point, but to clarify, participants are only required to complete one of the eight learning pathways listed above in order to qualify for the certification voucher discount. This can be whichever aligns most broadly to your skillset or interest area, but please feel free to complete more/all of them if you would like 🙂

I somehow managed to exceed 12 hours of lab experience such I missed below bonus material about modular orchestration. Is there a chance to get the material elsewhere?

This is an excelled course that covers all I need. I have a question about the availability of these learning path. Will it still be available after the Festival ends? I would like to book mark this and read up on it for the next few months. Thanks.

Someone else can confirm, but as I understand it, these are regular free courses. The festival has simply organized them into Subject matter areas for certification.

I'm here to learn and to help.

Thanks!
