Test format is nearly identical to a Cloud Provider certifications.

Pros: Databricks certifications are for Apache Spark which is open source so no vendor lock in on your knowledge

Cons: Overall less demand for Apache Spark knowledge than cloud, largely because there must be an on-premise data lake or migrate to cloud prior to leveraging Apache Spark

Side note: as of now, Databricks certifications are much more data engineer and scientist focused than cloud certs IMO

Thanks for the great info. Since my goal is to have something that can support my technical knowledge for DS related functions, i think this is the cert is the one I’ll pursue.
