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.

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.

Congratulations Srini! Best of luck with the certification ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi  @Jim_Anderson 
I am going through the course and recently started getting following error-

"Access denied

You do not have permission to access this page, please contact your administrator"

Could you please look into it ?

Thanks
Nipu

Is this issue isolated solely to this course, or would the same error message occur on any of the enrolment links provided within the original post?

If the latter, it sounds like you may in fact have a Partner Academy account, rather than a Customer Academy account

I have completed the modules related to "LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING". 

Thanks for the courses.
 
Btw, i was not able to find course material like pdf or archives(.dbc files). can you shed some light on this?

We don't provide downloadable content through the self-paced learning pathways since it can quickly become outdated with new product releases. Please use the course itself within Academy to always access the latest version of our content ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi @Jim_Anderson,
Completed the Associate Data Engineering Pathway. Just a quick question, irrespective of which pathway we have completed during this DB Learning Festival, the vouchers that we receive can that be redeemed for any Databricks data engineering certification Associate or Professional ?
