Please stop spamming emails. If you have completed the course, then you will get the voucher or you won't. By asking Jim, you won't get it.

It`s legit for the community to ask for it, what are you talking about? That`s the whole purpose of the post and of a forum. Don`t like it, you can unsubscribe.

To anyone asking about vouchers...

This was a learning session, that included many volumes for each learning path. This isn't an automated process, and you need to leave Jim alone. He's not your answer. Patience is your answer. If you did the task within the timeframe, you will be rewarded. Please stop blowing up everyone's phone with the same questions that have been answered previously. 

I'm here to learn and to help.
