Hi Mr. @Jim_Anderson,
I hope you are doing well.

I completed the Learning Pathway 1: Associate Data Engineering course on 30th and 31st October 2025. However, I have not yet received the following benefits on completion:

  • 50% off any Databricks Certification

  • 20% off an annual Databricks Academy Labs subscription

I would be grateful if you could please check why these have not been issued to me yet.

My Databricks account email is: mejamilhussain@gmail.com

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Kind regards,
Jamil Hussain

Unfortunately, as per your certificate above, the Build Data Pipelines with Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines module was completed outside of the eligible window, which is October 10 - 31.

I'm sorry, but there are no eligible learning pathway completions on either account. The only course completions for both is the Databricks Fundamentals Accreditation, which as per the original post, is not included as part of this initiative..

Unfortunately you only completed the Databricks Streaming and Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines module. As per the post, you need to complete all four modules to prepare for the Advanced Data Engineering certification and to qualify for the incentives.

The certification exam seems to be a so called proctored exam, and one needs to use a lockdown browser to attend. How can I check already before scheduling the exam that I am able to install such a browser into my computer?
