What if I completed one or two of these courses before this period? Are they counted or should I retake them again to be counted?

That's fine - so long as you complete the learning pathway (i.e. finish the remiaining courses) during this period, you'll be counted.

Dear team, 

Greetings

I have started the course "Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect" but after reading the material suddenly it is not showing the next lesson. I am trying to access it from my laptop, mobile, and tablet. But none of the option is working. Also other courses in the associate data engineering certification are not opening. Sometime it shows access denied. Kindly guide me in this matter to complete all modules. 

 

Thanks and regards
