Dear  @Jim_Anderson , @gridblue , @Nikhilkamode , @nakhaterr , @Harman13 ,

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to kindly request the 50% certification voucher, as I have successfully completed the course on time. I have also been waiting for the voucher for quite some time now and am currently attending interviews where this certification will be very helpful.

Please find my course completion certificate attached for your reference.

I would really appreciate your support in providing the voucher at the earliest possible time.

Thank you for your assistance and consideration.

Best regards,
Yuvaraj Suresh kumar,

Unfortunately it looks like you only completed the first module (Data Ingestion with Delta Lake) of the Associate Data Engineering learning pathway. Please note, all four modules within the learning pathway needed to be completed to prepare for the certification and qualify for the voucher, as per the event instructions.

Thank you for your response and clarification.

I understand and I will complete the remaining three modules as soon as possible.

Could you please let me know if I would still be eligible to receive the 50% certification voucher after completing the remaining modules?

I am actively preparing for the certification and attending interviews, so your support in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your guidance and assistance.

Hi @Jim_Anderson . I completed 2 learning pathways DATA ANALYSTS and PROFESSIONAL ML PRACTITIONERS. In my account it says enrolled just because I skipped the introduction video. Is there any chance to still get the voucher ?

Is there any content behind the slides or do you have to book onto a course to be taken through them?

I've attended a couple of courses previously and typically somebody presents and uses the slides for guidance.

Thanks

These are our self-paced courses, meaning the content is offered as free videos which you can access at any time
