Can you access any of the other modules via the enrolment links provided? If not, then you likely have a Partner Academy account

I can access LEARNING PATHWAY 1 and completed all the modules. I can access all other courses via the enrolment links provided. I can't access only "Databricks Streaming and Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines".
