Unfortunately it looks like you've only completed the Databricks Streaming and Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines and Optimization modules from the professional Data Engineering learning pathway.

Please note, to prepare for the certification and qualify for the incentives, you would also have needed to complete the other two modules also listed within the event post

  1. Databricks Data Privacy

  2. Automated Deployment with Databricks Asset Bundles

Dear Databricks Support Team,
I am writing to request your assistance regarding a 50% discount voucher code for a Databricks certification exam that I recently received.
Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the email containing the voucher code from my inbox (sharadsonwane09@gmail.com). Since I am planning to schedule my exam shortly, would it be possible for you to resend the code to me?
I appreciate your time and help with this matter.
Best regards,
Sharad Sonwane

Unfortunately you only completed the first module, Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect, of the Associate Data Engineering learning pathway.

As per the event post, you needed to complete all four modules within the learning pathway to qualify for the incentive.

Unfortunately the final module, DevOps Essentials for Data Engineering, is not listed as completed - meaning the learning pathway is still classed as in progress
