I just use the pyspark documentation. If you're already proficient with python and SQL, I don't know that you need a whole separate class. Databricks offers their own training.

I would familiarize myself with distributed data computing conceptually. There some differences between Hadoop and spark that might surface in the interview.

You can get the databricks book for free from their website, go to their cert page and read what they recommend you should cover for the associate dev certificate
