Module overview

- [Instructor] Welcome to Preparing for your Professional Data Engineer Journey. In this course, you will learn about the skills covered on the Professional Data Engineer Certification Exam. Modules 1 through 5 each point to one section of the Exam Guide. In Module 6, you prepare for the next steps in your journey and create your study plan. However, it's important to clarify that this course by itself will not prepare you to take the Certification Exam. This course is not a cram session. The exam is purposefully calibrated to test your ability to apply the knowledge required of a professional data engineer, not merely repeat it. Cram sessions have minimal impact on your ability to pass the exam. Instead, the goal of this course is to help you better structure your preparation time for the exam. You will learn about the scope of each exam section, and assess your current knowledge and skills using diagnostic questions. You'll then review where to find additional tools and resources to include in your study plan. In this introductory module, you learned about the role of a professional data engineer. We discussed the types of resources available to support your study, and how to use the workbook to create your study plan.
