Frequently Asked Questions

What is DP-750?
DP-750 is the Microsoft Certified: Azure Databricks Data Engineer Associate exam — a brand-new intermediate certification for data engineers building solutions with Azure Databricks, Unity Catalog, and Delta Lake.
Do I need coding experience?
Yes — DP-750 requires SQL and Python proficiency. You need to be comfortable with Spark DataFrames, SQL queries, and basic notebook workflows. Every code example includes line-by-line explanations.
What's in the free tier?
Domain 1 (Azure Databricks Environment — 5 modules covering workspace architecture, compute types, and Unity Catalog) plus 8 practice questions. No account needed.
How is DP-750 different from DP-700?
DP-700 covers Microsoft Fabric (lakehouses, PySpark, Eventstreams). DP-750 covers Azure Databricks (Unity Catalog, Lakeflow, Spark clusters, Asset Bundles). Different platforms, different governance models.
Is DP-750 harder than DP-700?
Community reports suggest yes — DP-750 is more Spark-native and deeper on governance (Unity Catalog security is a major focus). The exam expects real-world Databricks engineering experience.
Is this a one-time purchase?
Yes. Pay once, access forever. No subscription or recurring fees.
