Hi @Jim_Anderson, Glad to see this opportunity and challenge! I wanted to clarify something regarding the requirements. Iโ€™ve completed Pathway 1: Associate Data Engineering, but my goal is to pursue the Professional Certification. Could you please confirm whether completing just one full pathway is sufficient to receive the discount voucher, or if I need to complete additional pathways for it to be applicable to the Professional certification? Also, will the voucher be applicable globally across certifications, or only for the specific pathway completed? Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Yes, to clarify you'll receive the voucher for completing any learning pathway during the event, including the associate data engineer path. You are welcome to leverage this voucher for any databricks certification, including the professional exam.

Hi @Jim_Anderson, I completed 2 Learning Path: Data Engineer Associate and Machine Learning Associate.

And I have some question:

Can I get two vouchers for two certificates?

Can I get it earlier cuz I have some plan in 8/4?

@Jim_Anderson Where we can find the PPT used in the self placed tutorial?

We don't provide downloadable files as these can quickly become outdated. Please use Databricks Academy itself to reference the latest content

Hi @Jim_Anderson I am not able to open any course from LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING. Could you please help

 

All of the links are currently working - would you mind dropping me a message with a screenshot of the error you are encountering? It may be that you have a Partner Academy account

The course status shows as โ€œCompletedโ€; however, the completion date and badge are not displayed in the My Activities > Course section. May i know why?

It may be that the course introduction or another ancillary element of the module material is still listed as In Progress. Please ensure all elements are fully completed

@Jim_Anderson , i have checked. all are showing 'Completed'.

I have completed the Data Analyst learning path and I can see the completion status in my customer academy profile. Is there anything further I need to do before April 3 (say sending certificates as evidence) to be eligible for the discount or should I just expect the same to pop up in my email on April 9? Kindly clarify, thanks
