FAQ

Honest answers.

Is this the same as Databricks Associate?

No. Databricks Associate is a Databricks certification. DP-750 is a Microsoft certification specifically for Azure Databricks β€” covers Azure integration (VNet, Entra ID, ADLS, storage credentials) which the Databricks Associate doesn't go into.

Do I need both certifications?

If you work mainly on Azure: DP-750 is a strong signal for Microsoft-shop hiring. If you work multi-cloud or on AWS/GCP: Databricks Associate matters more. Many engineers in Europe end up with both.

Does it run on Databricks Free Edition?

Yes, the whole course runs on Databricks Free Edition. Some Azure-specific resources (Key Vault, Event Hubs, Azure Monitor) are explained in theory and may require your own Azure subscription for full hands-on practice β€” the material automatically detects what's available in your environment.

Standalone or Gold Plan β€” which is worth it?

Standalone: $150/€150 for Azure Databricks DP-750 only (lifetime access). Gold: $250/€250 per year β€” DP-750 + Associate + Professional + GenAI + PySpark Free + SDP + community + the Athena chatbot. If you only need the Microsoft certification, standalone covers it. If you plan on taking more than one AD course, Gold is the better value.

Who's teaching this?

Bernardo Cambruzzi β€” Senior Data Engineer running Databricks on Azure in the Netherlands for ASML, ABN AMRO and Jumbo. This isn't a course on slideware; it's how things actually work in EU enterprise.
