Handson Sessions are well designed, the course is very interesting, and it clears all concepts one by one with theory and followed by HandsOn Sessions. Highly recommended course for certification.

Some topics seemed a little bit rush. Consider this detla live tables. There is no description of why are they actually required in the first place. We already discussed Incremental Data Processing in the lecture before. How these DLT come into the picture and are they the only way to run the pipeline or wofklows? But all-in-all a good instructor. He replies almost instantly on LinkedIn. Some description need a little bit more explanation but a good course overall.

This is a very interesting course where the concepts have been visualized to understand better. Code resources are also provided to practice hands-on. I cleared my my exam (v3) based on this course and practicing multiple questions online.

Good course. I passed my exams. I felt the course could be a bit slowed to explain the details of the labs which I had to review repeatedly. It's overall a great course for those who are looking for v3 Data Engineer Associate certification.

I found this study material to be very useful when studying for the data engineering exam. Well very thought of and designed to help get familiarized with what a data engineer needs to know to do the job. I recommend people some extra time understanding the SQL section in addition to taking this class and the academy class. In summary, thank you!

Great Course! It is not only useful for the certification, but also teaches many things that we use in a day by day in Databricks.

I'm currently at the end of section 4 and can say that explanations and practical examples are amazing and crystal clear. I did take a Databricks official course 'Apache Spark Developer' where they covered similar topics and you did a much better job than them at explaining the topics

Short but very good explanations. I give 4 stars instead of 5 because it would be great to have comments in the notebooks explaining the actual code.
