CertOcean's Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate training is a live, instructor-led online course. You learn in 12 live sessions (24 hours in total) with an expert instructor and work through 11 curriculum modules.
The Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate is the most popular Databricks certification. It shows you can ingest, transform, orchestrate and govern data on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Databricks refreshed the exam in May 2026, adding Lakeflow Jobs, CI/CD and troubleshooting, so CertOcean's course follows the seven current exam sections in a hands-on order. Every session is lab-led in a Databricks workspace.
The course fits data engineers, ETL and BI developers, data analysts moving into engineering, and cloud engineers who support Databricks on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. Basic SQL is needed; basic Python helps.
CertOcean's Databricks course is live online training for the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam. It runs as 12 sessions of about 2 hours with hands-on labs, covers all seven sections of the May 2026 exam guide, and ends with full mock exams and a study plan for your weak areas. Sessions are recorded.
It is the Databricks exam that tests foundational data engineering on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform: ingesting data, transforming it with Spark and Delta Lake, orchestrating pipelines, and governing data with Unity Catalog. It is the usual first Databricks certification for engineers.
Exam facts checked November 2026 against the May 2026 exam guide. Confirm on databricks.com before you book.
With SQL experience, most people need 4 to 6 weeks at 6 to 8 hours a week, including hands-on practice. If you already use Databricks daily, 2 to 3 weeks of focused exam prep is often enough. The new Lakeflow and CI/CD sections catch people who studied from older material.
It supports data engineer, analytics engineer, ETL developer, big data engineer and cloud data engineer roles. Many employers running Databricks on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud list the Data Engineer Associate in job postings, and it is the step before the Databricks Data Engineer Professional.
