Where to start with Databricks
Databricks publishes no foundational exam in the set we cover, so Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate (Databricks DEA) is the entry point. It assumes hands-on experience rather than theory, so give yourself real time with the platform before booking.
Pair it with hands-on work rather than a second certification: what you have actually built carries an interview further than a second credential does.
How Databricks certifications are renewed
Renewal is the cost people forget, and it varies more between vendors than the exam fees do.
Databricks certifications are valid for two years. You recertify by passing the current live version of the exam again.
Databricks lists its exam fee in US dollars, plus any taxes required where you live. Confirm the current price on the exam page before you register. See Databricks, Inc.’s own certification page for the current terms.
