LEARNING PATHWAY 7:  APACHE SPARK DEVELOPER: 

Do I need to complete the the 17 hour python course that comes with this or just the 4 modules suggested here is enough? I see a python module in my customer academy learning path for Apache Spark Developer.

No, only 4 modules listed here should be fine.

To confirm, you do not need to complete the Introduction to Python course ๐Ÿ™‚

No - please note all enrolment links direct to Customer Academy.

I'm excited to share that I've successfully completed the LEARNING PATHWAY 7: APACHE SPARK DEVELOPER.

The lessons were incredibly informative, and I definitely learned some new and valuable things about both Spark and the Databricks Lakehouse Platform. A big thank you to the content creators!

I'm now ready to take the next step and pursue a Databricks Certification.

My question for the community/Databricks team is:

Could you please let me know the typical timeline for receiving the 50% off Databricks Certification voucher associated with the completion of this learning pathway? I want to make sure I don't miss the email!

Thanks in advance for the information!
