• Managing ML experiments with MLflow
• Building and orchestrating ML pipelines
• Training and evaluating models at scale
• Using feature tables and AutoML
• Deploying models to batch and real-time endpoints
• Applying MLOps and governance practices

• Familiarity with Python or Scala
• Basic understanding of supervised and unsupervised ML
• Hands-on experience with Databricks workspaces
• Working knowledge of MLflow fundamentals

The exam requires balancing conceptual platform knowledge with applied ML modeling concepts. Candidates must recall Databricks-specific terms and workflows while interpreting scenario-based questions about experiments, model registries, and deployment endpoints.

Certilum recommends prioritizing hands-on Databricks notebooks and MLflow exercises, as the exam tests practical workflow skills. Focus on experiment tracking, model registry transitions, and real-time serving configuration to maximize score.

Successful preparation should combine hands-on labs with official Databricks documentation, focusing on MLflow, AutoML, Feature Store, and model serving. Practice creating and comparing MLflow runs, transitioning model stages, and scheduling multi-step jobs on Databricks.
