The Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam assesses whether a candidate can use the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform for foundational data engineering tasks. Because the current date is after May 4, 2026, candidates should use the new Databricks exam guide version that went live on May 4, 2026. Databricks lists 45 scored multiple-choice questions, a 90-minute time limit, a USD 200 registration fee plus applicable taxes, online or test-center delivery, no allowed test aides, no required prerequisite, and recommended course attendance plus six months of hands-on Databricks experience. The credential is valid for two years and recertification requires taking the current live exam. The new outline covers Databricks Intelligence Platform, Data Ingestion and Loading, Data Transformation and Modeling, Working with Lakeflow Jobs, Implementing CI/CD, Troubleshooting, Monitoring and Optimization, and Governance and Security. Recommended preparation includes Data Engineering with Databricks and Databricks Academy topics such as Lakeflow Connect ingestion, Lakeflow Jobs, Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines, Unity Catalog governance, DevOps Essentials for Data Engineering, and Data Interoperability with Unity Catalog.
Confirm the current handbook, scheduler rules, and ID requirements before you commit to a study or booking plan.

Run timed sets or full-length practice under the same delivery conditions you expect on exam day whenever possible.
