Trying to complete the free self paced course Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering.
I understand that you need to pay for subscription of Academy Labs to be able to have access to the material.
This subscription is $200. And if you intend to purchase individual labs that's $75. Does this $200 really gives you the access to all of them (110) for an year?

Yes โ with the Databricks Academy Labs Subscription, you get access to multiple self-paced courses along with their associated labs for one full year.
The full list of included courses is outlined on the Subscription Plans page under the Whatโs included section, where you can see all the available labs covered in the subscription.

You can pay . but in my opinion the best way to learn is getting hands on . Dont rush . Lets the concepts sink in and spend time building your own demos that are similar to what you seen in the course . There are plenty of ways to do that with the latest Gen AI tools (Claude code ,Chatgpt , Perplexity ) available out there .Here is how I would setup and use claude code with databricks.

Hi, yes it gives you an access not to all the lab but most of them https://customer-academy.databricks.com/learn/subscriptions/index and click on what's included.
Monday
If I pay $1500 for Databricks Blended Learning or $200 Databricks Academy Labs; will I get access to associated lab environments too? Because I see the free version (for example: https://customer-academy.databricks.com/learn/courses/3603/get-started-with-databricks-for-data-ware...) talks about Classroom setup. In my environment I don't have that SQL file nor do I have dedicate compute for lab environment. How can I ensure I can successfully follow along.
