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.

Hi @Jim_Anderson


I finished LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING
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!!

Please note that all content elements must be completed for each module to be logged as complete. You can verify whether the modules have been completed under My Activities > Courses in the user menu at the top left.

Please review the FAQ included within the original post for further information.

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.

To confirm, you can apply the certification voucher on any Databricks Certification ๐Ÿ™‚

I completed the first pathway, LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING, and everything is marked as complete for all activities. Do I have to wait to receive the 50% voucher? And how will I know where it will be sent?
