i have completed the associate data engineering, waiting for discount voucher

Best of luck with the certification 🙂
Hello @VALF & @DataBricks team,
I have registered for the Advanced Learning Festival (15 June 2026 – 06 July 2026) and would like some clarification regarding course completion tracking for the 50% certification voucher eligibility.
I had previously completed the course "Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect" on 04-Jan-2026. As part of the current Learning Festival, I started retaking the course. However, after reopening/completing the course, the completion page still shows the original completion date (04-Jan-2026) instead of a new completion date within the festival period.
Could you please confirm:
Do previously completed courses count toward the current Learning Festival requirements?
If courses must be completed during the festival period, will retaking the course update my eligibility even though the original completion date is still displayed?
Is there any additional action required from my side to ensure my progress is counted for the 50% certification voucher?
Attachment is for your reference . Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Yuvaraj Suresh Kumar
Hi Yuvaraj, to clarify that is only the first module of the data engineering module. Provided you complete the remaining three modules today you'll qualify for the incentives.
I, too, have received the same update, and it continues to show an earlier date than expected. I would be grateful if anyone in this community could provide some clarification on this matter. Your insights would help us better understand the situation.
Hi everyone!
I have a question: if, for example, I complete the Data Analysts learning path and receive the voucher, can I take the course Associate Data Engineering (even if it's not Data Analysts)?
Thanks!
Yes, to confirm you can use the voucher on any Databricks certification
Hi I have completed the course and here is the certification. Where do i get the coupon ?
To clarify - this is only the first module of 4 within the Data Engineering Learning pathway. All four need to be completed to qualify. To confirm, all incentives will be distributed on July 10 to the email associarted with your Customer Academy account.
Hi Team @Jim_Anderson ,
I have successfully completed Learning pathway APACHE SPARK DEVELOPER
Thank you 🙂
Associate Data Engineering, Professional Data Engineering, Data Analysts, Generative Ai Engineering
Please have complete the 4 module but Deploy Workload with Lakeflow "Job in progress" have gone back to check apart from one that is job in progress but i could not see any apart from slide, community please assist..
Attached is some of the screen shot .
Thanks
There will be part of the module that is shown as in progress (perhaps the module introduction?). Please ensure it is completed to ensure you're included within the final voucher distribution
Thanks for the feedback! 🙂
Hi! I have a question.
I already completed the Apache Spark Developer pathway during a previous Learning Festival, and I have the course completion certificates (i have attach them has an evidence).
Now, my question is. If I completed a pathway during a previous Learning Festival, is it considered permanently completed? If the same pathway is included in a new event, can I complete it again and still qualify for the event rewards or certificate?
It will be considered permanently completed. You must complete a net new learning pathway during a subsequent event to requalify for the incentives
