Where custom Databricks training fits
Databricks Academy's standard curriculum is the right starting point for many teams. We're for the teams it doesn't fit.
Your own data
The training has to run on your catalogs, tables and pipelines, governed properly, rather than on sample datasets.
Your workflows
It has to follow the platform decisions your team has already made: your cloud, your standards, your way of shipping to production.
Your requirements
Your regulatory, security or role requirements are specific enough that no standard course was written for them.
→If a standard, non-custom Databricks course is what your team needs, we can deliver that on request too.
Guarantee
Our guarantee
If the training does not deliver what we scoped with you in discovery, we run it again for the same group at no charge. We would rather fix it than keep a fee we did not earn.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Better People different from other Databricks training providers?
We're a custom Databricks training provider. We design curriculum specific to your team, your data environment and your business outcomes, for teams whose needs standard courses do not meet. If a standard course is what you need, we can deliver that on request too.
Can the training run on our own Databricks workspace and data?
Yes. Sessions run on your own workspace and catalog structure, with masked or synthetic data wherever Australian privacy law or your policy rules out real personal data.
How is this different from Databricks Academy?
They serve different needs. Academy's standard curriculum suits many teams. We are for the ones whose data, workflows or requirements it does not fit, and we can deliver a standard course on request too.
Do you offer Databricks certification training in Australia?
Yes, as preparation. Our Databricks Cert Prep courses are 2-hour live online sessions anyone in Australia can join. For a whole team, we can build exam preparation into a custom program on your own workspace. Exams are booked and sat with Databricks, and our material is not official courseware.
Do you deliver Databricks training onsite in Australia?
Yes. We deliver at your location anywhere in Australia, or live online. Travel outside your city is quoted at cost on top of the session fee.
How much does Databricks training cost in Australia?
Quoted per cohort after a 30-minute discovery call. Contact us for a quote.
Is Databricks training suitable for regulated industries?
Yes, and much of our work is for them. Banks, insurers, super funds, health and government teams need training that respects their access controls, audit requirements and data-handling rules, so we build it on governed or masked data in their own workspace. See Databricks training for regulated industries.
Can Databricks training be delivered to teams across APAC?
Yes. We deliver onsite in Australia, New Zealand and across Southeast Asia, or live online in your time zone. See Databricks training in Singapore for how that works in practice.
