How do I prepare for Spark certification?

Question

Could someone tell me how to prepare for Spark certification?

Answer 1

Apache Spark is an open-source framework that is used for data processing much like Hadoop’s MapReduce. To make a career leap with Spark, then the professionals need to obtain certifications. There are a few most popular Apache Spark certifications available for the professionals to acquire and they are: 

Databricks Apache Spark certification, Cloudera Spark and Hadoop Developer, HDP certified Apache Spark developer, O’Reilly Developer Apache Spark certification, MapR certified Spark Developer, etc.

All these certifications require something little different from each other as some require you to learn Scala or Python, some require you to learn Hadoop too along with Spark because a number of developers want to work simultaneously on both Hadoop as well as Apache Spark.

So, before finalizing any certification, research well about its pros and cons and then register for the certification by paying the amount online. 

If you are willing to get the Spark certification, then take up the Spark certification from Intellipaat! to ace your certification exam.
