Frustration with finding paid for lab

Hi,

I've spent over 60 mins trying to find the lab for Deploy Workloads with Lakeflow Jobs.

The self-paced course: https://customer-academy.databricks.com/learn/learning-plans/10/data-engineer-learning-plan/courses/...

I have the Databricks Academy Labs Subscription which when I purchased it was clear would provide access to the labs I need.

How can I access the lab?

Thanks

Hello @Daniel_B,

It looks like you're enrolled in a Learning Plan. The courses included in a Learning Plan are free, self-paced courses and do not include labs.Since you mentioned that you have access to Academy Labs, please go to Databricks Academy > Catalogs in My Subscription, enroll in the individual courses (for example, Deploy Workloads with Lakeflow Jobs), and then open the course syllabus. You'll find the SP Lab Environment link to launch the lab.

Thanks @Advika - I am now into the labs. It look an additional 20 minutes through and was not helped by the out of date incorrect guidance in the course on how to access Labs. In general the integration with Labs is clunky, slow, lots of white pages that don't update and confusing. I expect more for my money. Having used Coursera for many years I know what good looks like.
