Unfortunately, it looks like both the Build Data Pipelines with Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines and Data Management and Governance with Unity Catalog modules were completed on November 17, outside of the eligibility window.

Hi Databricks team,
I completed the Learning Pathway 1: Associate Data Engineering during the Virtual Learning Festival (10–31 October 2025) before the deadline, but I still haven’t received the certification voucher as mentioned.
Could you please help me check my eligibility or let me know if any further action is required?
Thank you!

Unfortunately it looks like the Build Data Pipelines with Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines module is still in-progress for your account, meaning the learning pathway has not been completed

Hi, @Jim_Anderson 

I took the LEARNING PATHWAY 7:  APACHE SPARK DEVELOPER courses during the event period and I’m having an issue with the completion status and the voucher.

I completed all SPARK-related courses during the event period. Originally, the learning pathway page showed something like this:

- 3 out of 4 courses were marked as Completed

- The last course was still marked as In Progress

The last course is: "Monitoring and Optimizing Apache Spark Workloads on Databricks"

 

When I clicked into that course, all internal items (videos, materials, etc.) were already marked as completed, so from my side the course itself was fully done. However, the overall course status remained “In Progress”, which caused the whole learning pathway to appear incomplete.

Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the screenshot that showed the “3/4 courses completed, 1 in progress” status on the learning pathway page.
The only screenshot I still have now is from inside the last course, showing the detailed progress where each video/material is marked as completed. I have attached that remaining screenshot.

A moment ago, I re-opened the last course and replayed the first lesson (“Course Introduction”). After doing that, the platform finally updated and the course is now marked as Completed, and the learning pathway also shows as completed.

Given that:

- All modules were actually completed within the event period, and

- The “in progress” status seems to have been a display/refresh issue,

I would like to kindly ask you to confirm that my completion is correctly registered and that I am eligible for the voucher, even though I can no longer provide the original “3/4 completed” screenshot.
