Hi, this is a great initiative.

I have a question and would appreciate it if anyone can answer. I am following the Gen AI learning path and I observed that the materials were last updated in 2024. Is this still useful to prepare for the certification exam, considering how much the field has changed and that Databricks has introduced many new products in the last year?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I’ve completed all four courses in the Associate Data Engineering path between October 10 and October 31. However, one of the courses was completed before October 10. I would like to confirm whether I’m still eligible for the reward or if I need to retake the course that I finished earlier. Thank you.

Hi @Jim_Anderson 
I just realised, I didn't tag you in my query yesterday.
