Course Description
In this course, you will explore the fundamentals of Apache Spark and Delta Lake on Databricks. You will learn the architectural components of Spark, the DataFrame and Structured Streaming APIs, and how Delta Lake can improve your data pipelines. Lastly, you will execute streaming queries to process streaming data and understand the advantages of using Delta Lake.
This Apache Spark training course will prepare you to take the Databricks Certified Associate Developer for Apache Spark exam.
The Apache Spark Programming with Databricks training objectives are as follows:
- Define Spark’s architectural components
- Describe how DataFrames are transformed, executed, and optimized in Spark
- Apply the DataFrame API to explore, preprocess, join, and ingest data in Spark
- Apply the Structured Streaming API to perform analysis on streaming data
- Use Delta Lake to improve the quality and performance of data pipelines
All of our Spark and Databricks trainers are certified and enthusiastic! The Apache Spark course is offered privately onsite or via a live instructor-led online virtual classroom. All delegates receive extensive course materials (student guide and labs) and access to a licensed environment for hands-on labs. For online Apache Spark training, we use a daily Teams, WebEx or Zoom meeting to view the trainer screen and for audio communication.

Testimonials
Absolutely loved the enthusiasm and appreciate the knowledge he brought to class!!!
- Shelly Fruits, KPERS
Thoroughly enjoyed the training. The trainer was fantastic! It is rare but always an awesome experience when a trainer is also an experienced practioner with a breadth of knowledge and hands on experience… even well beyond the subject matter at hand. I had the feeling that the trainer could have answered in detail any question we might have had related to not only BDM but Hadoop and other relevant big data topics as well. Time well spent and I hope to encounter Tomi again.
