Hi Carlos,

Based on the official guidelines, voucher eligibility requires completing at least one learning pathway during the event period. Prior participation in earlier festivals may impact eligibility, even if the courses are retaken.

Since you completed everything again during this festival, it is worth requesting a manual review. I recommend contacting the official support or training help channel and clearly explaining your case.

Hope it works out and great job finishing all the pathways.

Unfortunately the learning platform will only log the initial date a learning pathway has been completed, irrespective of whether the content has been updated.

Completed Pathway 1 : Associate Data Engineering on Databricks

Finished all 4 modules and now looking forward to receiving the voucher to attempt the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam.

What stood out most was the strong focus on production-level skills — especially DevOps for data engineering. Learning how to build reliable pipelines, manage deployments, and handle real-world failures gave me a perspective beyond just coding.

These skills — pipeline reliability, data quality, orchestration, and observability — are critical and irreplaceable in real-world systems.

One thing I’ve realized while learning data engineering:

AI can help write queries, generate code, and even suggest pipelines — but it can’t replace the core engineering judgment required in production systems.

The real value lies in:
• Data modeling decisions
• Cloud cost optimization
• System design trade-offs
• Production deployment & reliability

These directly impact business outcomes — performance, cost, and data correctness — which require context, experience, and accountability.

That’s why I’m focusing on building strong fundamentals in production-grade data engineering, not just tools.

Thanks for the feedback! 🙂

Hi there, I already finished some learning pathways (one for DE Associate and one for DE Professional). Recently I had a plan to register Azure DE Associate in 14/04/2026. Would I recieve the voucher sooner, maybe some a few day after concluding event, so I can have a chance to commit sooner for the examination?

Really appreciate if this can be processeed fast. Thank u for response.

Jim_Anderson

Unfortunately all vouchers will be distributed on April 09, after the event has concluded.

Hi @Jim_Anderson

Thanks for providing a great course. I have completed the modules related to "LEARNING PATHWAY 6: GENERATIVE AI ENGINEERING".

Even though I had some basic understanding prior to the course, this was really providing great insights.

Thanks for this

Srini.

Jim_Anderson

Congratulations Srini! Best of luck with the certification 🙂
