 - I retake the course LEARNING PATHWAY 6:  GENERATIVE AI ENGINEERING and completed all 4 lessons. But somehow when I download the certificate it was showing older dates (10/28-10/30 of 2025) but not new dates as I completed again in fresh retake. I hope that's not a problem and I will get the voucher for exam discount. Please let me know - thanks.

  1. Building Retrieval Agents on Databricks
  2. Building Single-Agent Applications on Databricks
  3. Generative AI Application Evaluation and Governance 
  4. Generative AI Application Deployment and Monitoring

As stated in the FAQ, unfortunately revisiting previously completed content does not constitute a new course completion, therefore this will not be included within the voucher distribution
