hi, I have completed only one learning path module so will i get the 50% incentive?

Hi @sriharenis ,

No, completing only one module is not enough to qualify for the 50% certification voucher.

You need to complete an entire learning pathway (all modules within that path) during the event window. Each pathway is made up of multiple modules, so partial completion does not count.

You can check your progress under โ€œMy Activitiesโ€ to confirm if all modules in a pathway are marked as completed.

Hope this helps.

I was already preparing for the Databricks engineer certification, and these learning paths have been even more helpful in my studies. I'm eagerly awaiting the voucher to apply for the exam.

Hello team, I have completed all four courses in Learning Pathway 6, including the tests. Is there anything else I need to do to confirm in order to receive the coupon?

edonaire

Hi @CY17 ,

If you have completed all courses within Learning Pathway 6, including the assessments, then youโ€™ve already done the main requirement.

A couple of things to double-check:

1. Make sure all modules show as โ€œCompletedโ€
Sometimes a module is finished but not marked as completed due to a missed step (like not finishing a quiz or lab).

2. Check your progress under โ€œMy Activitiesโ€
This is where Databricks tracks eligibility for the Learning Festival rewards.

3. Wait for the processing period
The 50% certification voucher is usually not issued instantly. It can take some time after the event ends for Databricks to validate completions and send the coupon.

If everything is marked as completed, there is nothing else you need to do on your side.

If you donโ€™t receive the voucher after the official distribution period, then itโ€™s worth reaching out to Databricks training support.

Hope this helps, and congrats on completing the full pathway.

@Jim_Anderson, I have completed the course โ€œBuild Data Pipelines with Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelinesโ€, and all sections show as completed. However, in My Activities > Course, the course status is still listed as โ€œIn Progress.โ€ Could you please advise?
