Customer Academy Labs for Self Paced

[atrix_computing]

I was told by someone you could do labs in the self paced part of the databricks academy.  Right now I am on Demo: Creating and Working with a Delta Table in the Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering course and I see no link to a lab anywhere.  I also looked in the instructor lead course (I tried enrolling) and all it gave me access to under content was slides.  I tried asking bing, looking for DEWD00 on google and github and I clicked around for prob 15 mins hoping to find it.  I tried searching for lab and then finding any within that which are data engineering or delta table or delta lake.  Never found it.  Any advice/tips welcome!

I am in the process of completing the Data Bricks Getting Started with Data Engineering (free) course. I am at the stage in the self-paced video labeled Demo:Creating and Working with a Delta Table is demonstrated. The video demonstration eludes to using the DEWD00 - 01-Creating and Working with a Delta Table.

Where specifically in the Databricks web-site can I access the materials so that I too can perform the steps that the self-paced demonstration is reviewing?

I have purchased the $200 subscription, believing I would easily be able to locate, and access the labs that accompany the Data Bricks Getting Started with Data Engineering material; however, I cannot find the materials that I believe accompany this course

Earlier I paid $500 to enroll in the learning modules for the Associate, and Professional Data Engineering courses, and learned that it is recommended that I complete the Data Bricks Getting Started with Data Engineering (free) course, but it is difficult to properly complete the free course without also being able to access the labs.

Was there supposed to be embedded in the course links to the relevant materials? If not, why isn't there any links to the materials?
