Hi @Jim_Anderson ,

Unfortunately, I wasnโ€™t able to complete the first learning pathway because I enrolled in the event quite late.

I wanted to ask if there will be another similar event in the coming days. Iโ€™m especially interested in pursuing the Databricks Data Engineer Associate certification, and I would love another opportunity to participate and benefit from the program.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, we'll likely run the event again in June, so please keep a look out for further announcements on the Community homepage ๐Ÿ™‚
