The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional. Everything else on your path to certification, revision material included, sits outside this price, and that is where most of the budget of a certification actually goes.

Note from the vendor record: The official exam guide PDF (dated October 2026) presents two columns: the current exam with 59 scored questions through Oct 8, 2026 and a new exam with 60 scored questions from Oct 9, 2026; time limit, fee, delivery and prerequisites are identical for both. Neither the certification page nor the official exam guide states a passing score or percentage, so the passing score is recorded as not published. Certification is valid for 2 years and recertification requires taking the current live exam; no prerequisite is required but related training and about one year of hands-on data engineering experience are recommended. Unscored items may be included and do not affect the score.
