Thank you. Indeed a great opportunity for learning. I had a look at that offering but not sure if the investment is worth as most of the labs are basics or MVP/Prototype approach. I am looking for something more advanced and production ready or closer to real world.

I completed all four modules, but somehow module 2 is not marked as complete with Oct 2025 date and rest of 3 were updated with Oct 2025 date. I am wondering what the issue is as the deadline is approaching. Could you please assist ASAP?
