About this program
A weekend bootcamp for working professionals who want to ship a production Databricks Lakehouse — and understand how AI agents like text-to-SQL run on top of it.
- Build an end-to-end Bronze → Silver → Gold pipeline in a real Databricks workspace on AWS.
- Govern data with Unity Catalog — lineage, access control, and AI-readiness.
- Orchestrate pipelines declaratively with Lakeflow and Databricks Jobs.
- Use AI/BI Genie as a text-to-SQL AI agent over your own Delta tables.
- See where Mosaic AI and Agent Bricks plug into the Lakehouse — the platform 60% of Fortune 500 build agents on (2026 State of AI Agents).
- Maps directly to the Databricks Certified Associate Developer for Apache Spark exam.
- Weekend-only: Sat & Sun, June 20–21, 12–3 PM EST — no weekday disruption.
- Hands-on, no toy datasets. You leave with a deployed reference pipeline you can demo at work Monday.

What you'll achieve
- Design and implement a full Medallion Architecture pipeline (Bronze → Silver → Gold) on Databricks
- Ingest data from relational databases and flat files into Delta Lake tables
- Apply enterprise-grade governance, lineage, and access control with Unity Catalog
- Transform and enrich datasets at scale using PySpark and Spark SQL
- Build KPI-ready aggregations and dimensional models in the Gold layer

- Orchestrate end-to-end pipelines declaratively with Lakeflow and Databricks Jobs
- Apply production best practices: monitoring, performance tuning, cost optimisation, and failure handling
What students say
“During my time as a BCR Data Science intern, I learned way more than I could've ever thought. You'll be applying a lot of the knowledge from the program — it requires you to think critically and analytically. This experience is worth more than any self-paced course and gives you the confidence when applying for new opportunities.”
Aaron Hong Phu
BCR Data Science Intern → Analytics Engineer
“The concepts and implementations I learnt at BCR gave me confidence and a broader perspective about cloud technologies. The hands-on projects and Q&A sessions were invaluable. I definitely recommend BCR to anyone who wants to build real skills, not just pass exams.”
Annaya Mohanty
Bootcamp Graduate → Site Reliability Engineer, Oxford Properties
“Excellent training sessions with daily Q&A to resolve real troubleshooting issues. The hands-on approach with actual tools you use in production is what sets this apart from every other online course I've tried.”

Frequently asked questions
Is this bootcamp suitable for working professionals?
Yes — it is designed specifically for them. The weekend-only format (Saturday & Sunday, June 20–21, 12–3 PM EST) means you don't need to take time off work or sacrifice weekday evenings. Two focused days, fully hands-on.
What is the exact schedule for June 20–21, 2026?
Saturday June 20: 12–3 PM EST — Lakehouse foundations, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and Bronze ingestion. Sunday June 21: 12–3 PM EST — Silver transformation, Gold analytics, AI/BI with Genie, Lakeflow orchestration, and production readiness. Total: 6 hours of live instruction.
Do I need prior Databricks experience?
No. You need solid SQL skills and basic Python familiarity. If you can write a JOIN query and a Python function, you are ready. We start from workspace setup on Day 1 (Saturday).
Is the CAD $299 price only for the first cohort?
Yes. CAD $299 is our introductory launch price limited to the first 20 students. The regular price will be CAD $799 after the launch cohort closes. Enroll now to lock in the early-bird rate.
Will I get my own Databricks workspace?
Yes. Every student gets access to a dedicated Databricks workspace on AWS for the full weekend. All labs and the end-to-end pipeline project run in this live environment.
Does this help with Databricks Data Engineer certification?
Yes. The bootcamp content maps closely to the Databricks Certified Associate Developer for Apache Spark and the Databricks Lakehouse Fundamentals exams. Many participants sit these certifications after completing the weekend.
Does this bootcamp cover AI agents on Databricks?
Yes — at the foundation level. AI agents like text-to-SQL systems and Databricks AI/BI Genie need a governed Lakehouse to query. We build that Lakehouse end-to-end and show how Mosaic AI and Agent Bricks sit on top of it. If you want to build your own AI agent next, our open-source DB-Agent workshop is the natural follow-up — see github.com/db-agent/db-agent.
What if I miss a live session?
Both sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours via Discord. The instructor also responds to async questions so you can complete the labs at your own pace after the weekend.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you attend Saturday's session and feel the bootcamp isn't right for you, we'll issue a full refund within 24 hours — no questions asked.
