Hello,

I tried accessing 1st topic of Associate ML course and I'm getting this error message? How do I access or enroll to the LEARNING PATHWAY 4: ASSOCIATE ML PRACTITIONERS?

@rameshpennam Check with other platforms once, guess maybe it's your work email. Though it should work even with others.

There are two different portals - one for customer and another for partner. You are logging customer one with partner login credentials.

Try https://partner-academy.databricks.com/ 

It is applicable only for customer academy portal not on partner academy.

You are having partner account and the festival offer will be applicable to customer account. If you both accounts (work and personal), you can request them to merge those in customer account for any courses/certifications you had finished as a part of you work account on partner site.
