I really liked this initiative and Iโ€™ll definitely make a LinkedIn post to help spread the word.
Last time I shared something similar, it reached over 70k views, so I believe we can make this one go even further.

@Jim_Anderson
 Last festival I miss this voucher because I forgot to complete "2.SQL Analytics on Databricks" for data analyst path (but I already completed self declaration of "1.AI/BI for Data Analysts"). My question is that if I only completed "2.SQL Analytics on Databricks" Will I get the voucher or I need to self decralation of "1.AI/BI for Data Analysts" again?

You will qualify as long as you complete the second module within the specified dates (October 10 - 31). To clarify, there is no need to 're-complete' the first module. Your completion date will always be captured against the first date of your completion.
