Do you want to get Data Warehouse badge? Want to showcase your hand-on-expertise to your employer, manager, or you are aspiring for a new role in Snowflake world, or you want to learn something really cool and test your learning ? This is the first step toward Snowflake

Today I would like to share with you my experience and learning toward Snowflake Hands On Essentials — Data Warehouse badges.

This is also famous with the name of Workshop 1. This one is totally SQL based workshop and going to test all major SQL functionality in Snowflake and followed by a digital badges in Acclaim Portal. Now the next question came to mind how to start with that and yes this blog is for that only.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites as such except you need a Snowflake trial account.

This workshop has a detail course attached to it. Meaning you get full support for ground up in Snowflake. First your concepts will be cleared for each topic which is followed by hands-on lab. The Course is very beautifully designed keeping in mind that a person may or may not have prior experience. So anyone with minimal SQL knowledge can do this course. Course look like below.

Once you are done with all learning and labs you have to submit your labs output in a short 1–2 minute video recording to Snowflake University team.

How to present & sample project etc. all are mentioned in checklist module.

I was privileged to get featured as one of the top submission out of top 8 in Workshop 1. There are multiple criteria to get on the top list, and they have only place for few. So I was lucky enough to pass all criteria and topped the list. Workshop 1 mission looks something like below.

My Workshop 1 Final Project Submission to Snowflake Academy:

As compared to other workshop this workshop is quite straight forward considering my database background. For non-database guys it will not be that much difficult. This workshop will not take much time, the majority of time will go on reading the theory.

You can do it in phases, but my recommendation is to do it in a single stretch or two so that you don’t have to recall what you did last time.

What you will gain as a skill along with impressive Snowflake digital badges?
