Learners understand how the explosion of data in recent years has led to an increased demand for extracting insights from that data, giving rise to data engineering. They'll understand previous data engineering approaches, modern data engineering approaches using Snowflake, and contextualize data engineering with the Ingestion-Transformation-Delivery ("ITD") framework. They also prepare their development environment and build a simple data pipeline with Snowflake.

Learners learn how to ingest data into Snowflake at scale using various, powerful techniques. They specifically load data into Snowflake using the Snowflake Marketplace, the Snowflake web interface (Snowsight), the Snowflake CLI, and the powerful COPY INTO SQL command. Learners also understand how to ingest data from external systems using Snowflake native connectors, and how to optimize data ingestion by fully utilizing a virtual warehouse.

Learners perform data transformations using SQL or Snowpark for Python. Learners also understand that they can use Snowpark to perform data transformations with Java and Scala. They also extend their knowledge of data transformations by learning about, creating, and using user-defined functions (UDFs), stored procedures, streams, and Snowflake Dynamic Tables. They also learn how to perform data transformations using these tools outside of Snowflake, specifically in Visual Studio Code using Snowflake's official extension.

Learners understand what orchestration means, and how to add automation to data pipelines using tasks. They specifically learn about user-managed and serverless tasks, and create tasks to automate calls to stored procedures. They also create and link tasks together to form a task graph, or DAG, and execute individual tasks and entire DAGs.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
