Course Description

*Important Notice*

Originally designed to help students pass the now-retired Cloudera Certification exams, the material remains useful for those wanting to practice their skills on Spark and Hadoop clusters.

Students enrolling on this course can be 100% confident that after working on the problems contained here they will be in a great position to pass the transform, stage and store section of the CCA175 exam.

As the number of vacancies for big data, machine learning & data science roles continue to grow, so too will the demand for qualified individuals to fill those roles.

It’s often the case the case that to stand out from the crowd, it’s necessary to get certified.

This exam preparation series has been designed to help YOU pass the Cloudera certification CCA175, this is a hands-on, practical exam where the primary focus is on using Apache Spark to solve Big Data problems.

On solving the problems contained here you’ll have all the necessary skills & the confidence to handle any transform, stage & store related questions that come your way in the exam.

(a) There are 30 problems in this part of the exam preparation series. All of which are directly related to the transform, stage & store component of the CCA175 exam syllabus.

(b) Fully worked out solutions to all the problems.

(c) Also included is the Verulam Blue virtual machine which is an environment that has a spark Hadoop cluster already installed so that you can practice working on the problems.

• The VM contains a Spark stack which allows you to read and write data to & from the Hadoop file system as well as to store metastore tables on the Hive metastore.

• All the datasets you need for the problems are already loaded onto HDFS, so you don’t have to do any extra work.

• The VM also has Apache Zeppelin installed with fully executed Zeppelin notebooks that contain solutions to the problems.

Instructor Details

Matthew Barr

I’m Matthew Barr, a data engineer and founder of Verulam Blue Mint, a UK-based SaaS platform that helps learners build real, portfolio-ready projects using SQL, dbt & PySpark for roles in data engineering, analytics, and data science. At Verulam Blue Mint, I focus on giving you the kind of realistic, messy-data experience you’d get in an actual data team—minus the office politics.

I started my career in data science and, over time, moved into roles with a greater focus on data engineering. I’m a certified data engineer across major cloud platforms: Azure, Fabric, AWS, and Databricks. I’ve spent years building the kind of end-to-end data-cleaning pipelines and KPI workflows that you’ll practise in my courses.

Before moving fully into data, I spent nearly a decade in financial services as an actuarial analyst in London. That background means I care a lot about trustworthy numbers, repeatable logic, and being able to explain results clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Academically, I hold two master’s degrees from University College London: one in Data Science and one in Mathematics.

Through Verulam Blue Mint and my Udemy courses, my goal is simple: to help you bridge the gap between “I know some SQL/PySpark” and “I can run a serious data project that I’m proud to show on my CV, GitHub, and LinkedIn.”

Simply A Masterpiece !! Thanks Mathew for putting your efforts in preparing this. I would highly recommend this to everyone preparing for CCA-175

Sometimes they say the Journey is better than the destination. While I only purchased this course with a certification in view, I started enjoying the quality of question . Add to it the speed with which Matthew responds to our queries sweetens the learning. I have also purchased another course from same author and enjoying that course equally!

By Kishore NAYAK on 6/4/2021

Cleared CCA175 , got all the answers correct. All the questions are 100% similar to these questions, datasets were different and simple in actual exam.

By Ashish Sood on 5/2/2021

Best course available online for CCA-175!! I cleared my certification this week with all questions correct. VM provided is very similar to exam environment(exam environment is slower though). Difficulty level of questions provided is much tougher than the actual exam but practicing these will provide you lot of confidence.

By Cody Piazza on 4/26/2021

Would recommend getting all 3 of Matthew Barr's practice courses for CCA175, and going over these questions. Once you feel confident with these questions, you will be more than prepared to pass the CCA175. Just passed exam with 100%.

By Sirish Karthik Naraharisetti on 4/3/2021
