So, If I want to get a voucher for Databricks Data Engineer Associate Cert, Do I need to compulsory complete the "LEARNING PATHWAY 1: ASSOCIATE DATA ENGINEERING" or I can do any Learning Pathway and avail the voucher for Databricks Data Engineer Associate. Please Assist

To clarify, you can complete any learning pathway during the event. This will qualify you for a discounted certification voucher, which can be applied to any of our certification exams. (e.g. you could complete the Data Analyst learning pathway and still use the voucher to complete the Associate Data Engineering Certification exam) ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi, I wanted to ask if itโ€™s still possible to attend the Databricks Learning Festival, or if registration is already closed?
Thanks in advance! 

Registrations are still open 

You are welcome to enrol in any of the learning pathways!

Also, what If I've enrolled and completed most of these courses in the last 2 weeks (between March 1st and March 10th). Should I still retake them between March 16th and April 2nd to get a 50% discount voucher or it still counts? 

I saw the same doubt b4, and they replied you need to re-complete it in the same window to get the vouchers

To clarify, you cannot 're-complete' modules; the system only logs the initial date when the content is completed.

To reiterate, you must complete a new learning pathway during the eligible window in order to qualify for the incentive distribution on April 09.

That's totally fine, so long as you are accessing the courses via Customer Academy (rather than Partner Academy) you will be eligible ๐Ÿ™‚
