Thanks @Jim_Anderson for the info, wanted to know do I need to register explicitly for this virtual learning fest ? No right, correct me if I'm wrong.

Normally, if you are a normal individual user (prospects) click on the prospects link. If you don't have an account create one and finish the courses using the link provided on the page here. This is how I did last time. Very good courses

Yes, you are right — this is between April 9th and 30th. I completed ML courses during the last festival, but Databricks has since introduced new courses and retired the old ones. I’m planning to pursue the Data Engineer Professional & ML Professional certification once I receive the voucher.

No, so long as you complete one of the listed learning pathways between the lister dates then you will be considered eligible for the incentive. To confirm, there is no additional steps required to register 🙂

@Jim_Anderson ,I registered for Professional Data Engineering course. Can I start it now and complete it between April 9-April 30 as it looks like course is accessible? Will I still eligible for $100 certification voucher?

Is there any offer available for the Databricks Spark Associate Certification ? I'm looking for a voucher for Spark Certification exam. Please do let me know, if there are any other ways to get offer for the certification, if not on the ongoing learning festival.

I know I asked the same question on the last Festival's community post, but couldn't complete the course. So hoping to complete it this time. 🙂

The Spark course itself is not included as part of the learning festival, but if you complete any of the qualifying learning pathways listed above then you could still redeem the certification voucher provided for the Spark Certification

Had fun the last time and got the Engineering Associate certification. I do wish the Spark Developer cert was available this time around, but I'll take a look at the GenAI or ML associate. Thanks for doing this!

Estou muito animado, não vejo a hora de me certificar como engenheiro de Dados Databricks, tire algumas duvidas minha, o voucher só vale se eu fizer as lições a partir do dia 9 a 30 de abril ? Ao término do curso, fazendo tudo corretamente, receberei meu voucher de 50% ? Já vou começar meus estudos !!!
