I have one doubt; we have to complete the pathway just once, right? After that I can retake it as many times I want?

My current organization is partner of Databricks. Can I participate in learning fest and get the discount voucher using my partners academy account or do I need to create new customer account to avail these vouchers?

I can't find the lab resources that are being shown in the demo videos for the Data Engineer Learning Plan: 4 modules.

Do I need to purchase something?

Hi Databricks Team, I have finished the learning path of "Apache Spark Developer", and downloaded all the available certificates. So I just wait until the final voucher is sent via email, right? I am asking cuz I can only see the 'Download Ceritificate' option available upon completing the courses.
Many thanks for the answer!

Hello, @Jim_Anderson 

I wanted to inform you that I have also completed the July Festival Challenge earlier, but I havenโ€™t received any update or confirmation for it. I revisited the course material recently, reviewed it once again, and have now successfully completed the challenge.

Kindly check and confirm the completion status from your end.
