So we could go through the modules in advance, but pause at one of the last steps/modules/tests and finalize them anytime during 9-30 Jan so that it's recorded properly and we're eligible?

Quick questions:
Do we need to finish all the path, or jsut one path (normally the one linked to may day to day activities) is enough?

Each path will be one voucher or is going to be one voucher for one customer?

tks in advance

You will not be eligible for two discount coupons if you complete two courses during the Learning Festival. Regardless of how many courses you complete within the festival’s eligibility window, each participant is only eligible for one 50% discount certification voucher and one 20% discount coupon for Databricks Academy Labs.
