That is correct. One way to confirm a learning pathway is completed is to click on the course links and to see what date the system has registered as completed. Make sure all 4 show completed within the necessary time frame.

Hi,

Need some clarity here, for example:- If I complete all the course mention in the "LEARNING PATHWAY 3: DATA ANALYSTS". Will I receive the voucher for Data Analyst Associate Certification Exam or should I need to complete all the "LEARNING PATHWAY"?

Prajpk

You will receive the voucher for Data Analyst Associate Certification.

Jim_Anderson

To clarify, the voucher can be applied to any databricks certification exam.

In 2026, it happened in January, now in March, so let's expect that it will happen in June!

Hello, I don't understand something:

To follow along the demos on the customer academy, we need the academy labs suscription right?

Jim_Anderson

You do not need access to the labs themselves in order to participate, the enrolments links within the original post provide access to our self-paced (video-only) learning pathways

We'll be distirbuting a 20% discount on the Databricks Academy Labs annual subscription to participants who complete one or more self-paced learning pathway by April 03 if you'd like to then leverage this to practice any of the content in a hands-on lab 🙂
