A GitHub repo with materials for preparing for DP-600: Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate certification Exam.
- The exam is expected to be released in January 2024.
- I currently have 38 active Azure Certifications, and expect to take this Exam myself once available in GA.
As per Microsoft Learn page: Data Engineer, Data Analyst. However, from my personal experience, any of these roles are candidates for this Exam: Solution Architect, Data Architect, Data Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Database Administrators, PowerBI DAX Developers, Data warehousing Experts etc.
As a candidate for this exam, you need solid knowledge and experience in designing, creating, and deploying enterprise-scale data analytics solutions. Ideally, this means that you either currently have OR in the recent past have had the experience of building (or architecting, or solutioning, or engineering) data transformation projects (ideally in complex Enterprise IT landscapes) by using Microsoft Fabric components, such as: Lakehouses, Data warehouses, Notebooks, Dataflows, Data pipelines, Semantic models and Reports. Additionally, it is assumed that you possess some level of expertise (or working knowledge) in Data modeling, Data transformation, Git-based source control, Exploratory analytics, Languages, including Structured Query Language (SQL), Data Analysis Expressions (DAX), and PySpark.
