Having recently took the Data Analyst Associate official exam. The courses for this certification does not prepare you for the exam. They have updated the exam on September 30, 2025 so the content is not up to date. This is why I failed and was taken aback when being presented the questions.

I already have contacted the Databricks team and awaiting reply.

Whatโ€™s the difference between a Customer account and a Partner account? I noticed that my account is set up as a Partner โ€” does that affect my eligibility for the 50% voucher, and what should I do about it?

This event is purely aimed at users of Customer Academy, since Databricks Partners already qualify for free certifications through Partner initiatives.

Hey @techgeorge we don't provide the notebooks, but you can access the labs through a Databricks Academy labs subscription ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you. Indeed a great opportunity for learning. I had a look at that offering but not sure if the investment is worth as most of the labs are basics or MVP/Prototype approach. I am looking for something more advanced and production ready or closer to real world.
