Databricks data engineer associate exam

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing for the Databricks Data Engineer Associate certification. On the Databricks website, they list the following self-paced courses available in Databricks Academy for exam preparation:

  • Data Ingestion with Delta Lake
  • Deploy Workloads with Databricks Workflows
  • Build Data Pipelines with Delta Live Tables
  • Data Management and Governance with Unity Catalog

I've completed all these courses, which primarily use basic Python and Spark SQL. However, while reviewing the official practice exam [Link to practice exam], I noticed many questions about PySpark.

Could someone clarify if PySpark is indeed part of the exam content? Additionally, is the "DevOps Essentials for Data Engineering" course relevant for the exam?

Thank you!
