Databricks Badges: Badges are non-proctored, free assessments that help one gauge their understanding of a particular subject, such as Lakehouse architecture or Generative AI.

Databricks Certifications: These are formal assessments evaluating a person's skills and competencies for certain positions. The certification exams are timed, fee-based, and taken to prove one's professional expertise in data analysis, machine learning, or data engineering.

Recording instructor-led training sessions is not allowed for personal use or by the organisation hosting the training.
