Course Overview

The Data Transformation Using Spark course by Microsoft is designed to equip data professionals with essential skills for processing large-scale data within Microsoft Fabric. Tailored for data engineers, data analysts, and analytics engineers, this course focuses on leveraging Apache Spark for data transformation tasks such as cleaning, aggregating, and preparing data in lakehouse environments. With over 2,500 enterprises adopting Microsoft Fabric for unified analytics as of 2026, expertise in Spark-based transformation is increasingly in demand across industries seeking scalable data solutions.

This course provides hands-on experience with core Microsoft Fabric components, including Spark pools, notebooks, Delta tables, OneLake, and the Spark runtime for PySpark and Spark SQL. Students work directly in the Fabric portal, where they build and execute Spark notebooks to transform raw data into structured Delta tables using real-world scenarios such as creating star schemas for analytical reporting. Through guided labs, learners configure Spark environments, optimize write operations, and process data at scale, gaining practical experience in a cloud-based lab environment that mirrors enterprise data workflows.

The course prepares candidates for the Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate certification (Exam DP-600), a credential recognized for validating enterprise-scale analytics expertise. Professionals with this certification can pursue roles with average base salaries ranging from $110,000 to $145,000 in the United States, reflecting strong market demand. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and 1-on-1 training using official Microsoft courseware, ensuring mastery of Spark-based data transformation. Completing this course positions learners to lead data preparation initiatives and advance into senior analytics engineering roles within modern data platforms.
