Hi,
may be this question was already asked, but I would like to clarify - do I need to enroll somehow especially  ("Please follow the enrolment links included within the Learning Event."), or it is simply enough to complete in specified time period all modules included in a PATHWAY ?
Thanks!

You simply need to complete one or more of the specified learning pathways during the event window - the links within the original post have just been provided for reference 🙂

In the previous Databricks Virtual Learning Festival held in January, I completed the program and received a 50% discount code using this email address.
Could you please confirm whether I can use the same email for the current Databricks Virtual Learning Festival, or if I need to register with a different one?

You are welcome to use the same email, but please note you'll need to complete an alternative learning pathway during this event in order to qualify for the incentives again 🙂

Hey i want to do data analyst path nly so can i do only that path or i have to do all the learning path

Hi,

You can absolutely focus only on the Data Analyst path, you do not need to complete all learning paths.

To be eligible for the certification voucher, you just need to complete one full learning pathway during the event period. So if your goal is Data Analyst, you can stick to that path only.

Also, focusing on one path tends to be more effective, especially if you want to go deeper and actually apply the concepts in practice.

Hope this helps.

I've finished Learning Pathway 2 Professional Data Engineering. I know I was told that if I had previously completed other festivals, I wouldn't be eligible for the voucher. Honestly, the suggestion to take another pathway isn't really an option; I was so enthusiastic that I finished all the pathways. But please note that I restarted the course, completed it entirely, and it was interesting to see the differences before Lakehouse was even there. I ask that you please consider requesting and reviewing my voucher application. Thank you.
