I had a question about the completion of learning pathways, since I could not find any option to enroll in the pathway I chose (data engineering associate)
Though I have completed all the learning modules of the pathway, so have I qualified for the 50% databricks voucher??. (also is there any way to see that I have?)
Really confused about it please help!!

Hi @Jim_Anderson

If we completed the same learning path again e.g "LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING" are people still eligible for certification voucher?

Could you please clarifiy on this ?

No, to reiterate, we only log the initial date content is completed, so revisiting the same content will not be registered. 

You must complete an alternative learning pathway (for the first time) during this event to qualify.

Are we eligible for discount on only one certification? If I complete modules of associate data engineer, so discount is only available for that certification only or can I use it for other certification exam as well?

I want to complete modules of both associate and professional data engineering but decide later which certification exam I want to take.
