I am working towards this Azure Data Engineer Associate certification. This certification has two exams - DP-200 & DP-201. Is there anyone here who has managed to pass? Do you have any course recommendations?

Or just look on udemy and watch the videos there..merely at clientco for the entertainment -
The "official" MS exam courses are a waste of time and money. They are aimed at permies who are not bothered by time wasting and expense.
Plenty of free or cheaper resources on the internet if you are after knowledge.
If you are after passing the exams - I can see that examcollection.com is still going strongComment

I recently did an in-person course for the first time in ~12 years.
I got a good deal through a 3rd party as it was last minute, and I was in between contracts. (mentioned here)
It was for the Azure Developer exam. Total waste of money. Was with QA.
Should have just used Pluralsite and Udemy.
Best part was the labs, and they are all on githubComment

What a funny coincidence, I just passed DP-200 a few hours ago. Still feeling pretty proud of myself as there was tons of information to remember and the exam was long and hard.
I did not use a classroom training option as the timing was inconvenient and the cost was way too high. I didn't even use Pluralsight even though I had a subscription because I really get bored with information presented by video.
For the fundamentals exam, I used a Udemy course and practice exam found on Udemy. I guess it worth taking as an introduction to all the bits and pieces of Azure.
For DP-200 mainly I used the Microsoft learning paths and drilled for days with the official ($$$$) practice exam. And also bought some practice exams off Udemy which I thought at the time were out of date but actually helped with a question or two. I bought a bundle of 1 practice test, 1 exam sit and one retake for a discounted price but then passed on the first try. I found that just taking the learning paths was not enough to pass the exam and the practice exam was very useful.
Here's a fantastic page that helped me a lot:

Be careful about signing up for the 30 day trial too early, many of the learning paths include a sandbox to do the exercises that is free, where the later ones actually require you to have an account. Once you start getting into the DataBricks labs, you actually have to upgrade your "free" account to a paid one, but you still keep your credits. However, once you fire up clusters your credits go quick and I ran up £150 in actual costs before I knew it.
Monday I start working on DP 201, and that path looks much fuzzier.Comment
