The instructor spoke too fast. Some of the points were unclear.
By Anonymized User on 8/27/2024
Overall course is good. But dashboard design section is incomplete. Also no data practice for parquet file.

Need to update videos to latest Azure portal interface I guess

The teacher is very detailed in showing you how to set up Azure account in order to attain access to databricks
By Anonymized User on 8/28/2023
There are parts of the course I skipped because I had a lot of SQL knowledge so that's not the instructors issue. I do like the way this instructor presents material. I like how he shows us his trouble shooting approach when he encounters an error. So many people edit those out and I found them extremely helpful. Thank you!

It was a good experience indeed. Lots of details are provided and maybe more than enough but it depends on your level when before you start.
By Rakesh Reddy Gopidi on 11/17/2022
This is a very good course especially for newbies to Databricks the dataset is also very well prepared and also made available, I would like to thank Mr Durga sir for the wonderful course, however alerts, partner connect and scheduling topics are not covered during this course apart from that everything is fine. As the course is focused towards Data Analyst Associate Certification may be few practice tests would been also provided as well.
