I have completed Path 1 and am now waiting for the voucher. It is worth double-checking under 'My Activities' -> 'Courses' to make sure all courses are marked as completed.

Hi,

I am facing an issue related to "DevOps Essentials for Data Engineering" as this module badge is not showing on Databricks credentials. However, Certificate for this module has been generated. Additionally, Badges are available for all 3 top modules related to Lakeflow connect,Lakeflow jobs and lakeflow SDP. Can anyone please support me.

Could you double check that all elements of the content are listed as fully complete? One or more elements of the module are still flagged as in progress (most likely the course introduction)

Thanks @Jim_Anderson  for your quick response.All the elements have been marked as completed, and the certificate has been generated successfully. However, the badge is not visible on the Databricks credentials portal.Could this be related to a minimum completion time requirement (e.g., needing to spend at least 2 hours on the module), or is there any other reason. I've attested the screenshot of the module.

Hi,

Iโ€™m experiencing an issue with:

LEARNING PATHWAY 2: Professional Data Engineering

Specifically, Iโ€™m not sure whether I fully completed the first course:

Databricks Streaming and Lakeflow: Spark Declarative Pipelines

A few days ago, everything was working fine, but now Iโ€™m unable to access the course. Iโ€™ve already tried different browsers, but the issue persists.

Iโ€™m getting the following message:

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

Do you have any suggestions on how I can resolve this ?
