Hi @Jim_Anderson,

I hope you are doing well.

I recently completed Learning Pathway 1 in the Databricks Community, but I have not received any certification voucher yet.

Could you please help me understand whether this pathway is eligible for a voucher, or if there is anything I might have missed?

I have already checked my spam/junk folder as well.

Thank you for your time and support.

Regards,
Sivaranjani

Hi @Jim_Anderson ,

I hope you’re doing well.

I completed Learning Pathway 3: Data Analysts on March 31, 2026, and have attached the image as proof of completion. However, I have not yet received the certification voucher as of today (April 9, 2026).

Could you please look into this and let me know if there are any additional steps or tasks I need to complete?

Thank you for your help.

This time, I have completed Learning Pathway 3: Data Analysts, but I still haven’t received the voucher. I hope to receive it by EOD as it's 9th April today.
 
I had also completed a similar pathway during the last Learning Festival, but I did not receive any voucher then either.
