Now that you have completed the learning path, you should get the voucher by 10th April on your registered email address.

Hi team,

Just to confirm my understanding: if a learning pathway was completed in a previous festival, it won’t be eligible again due to the system logging only the initial completion date.

In that case, the best approach is to complete a different pathway during this event to qualify for the voucher, correct?

Also, for those aiming to maximize the opportunity, would you recommend prioritizing pathways aligned with certification goals (e.g., Data Engineering vs. Generative AI)?

Thanks!

nalka

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.

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

Hi @Jim_Anderson after this festival when are we going to have next one any tentative month?

Prajpk

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

Jim_Anderson

Most likely June, in line with Data and AI Summit 🙂

I completed my databricks LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING .when will i receive my voucher?

Prajpk

In January 2026, learning festival was between 9th January to 30th January. I received my voucher on 6th February. So you should get it by 10th April as the festival ends on 3rd April.

All incentives will be distributed on April 09 🙂

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 🙂
