Hi

I have completed the Associate Data Engineering module within the event window. As today is 15 April, I wanted to check on the status of the 50% voucher, as I have not yet received it.

Could you please look into this or let me know if any additional steps are required from my side?

Thank You

I was given 2 vouchers, but I believe I’m entitled to more because I’ve completed more courses. I’m attaching a screenshot so you can see. It’s unfair that I’m not getting them, since I’ve passed the courses and have spent a lot of time on them.

The FAQ clearly stated each participant is limited to one voucher per event.

Unforutunately the Machine Learning Model Deployment module is still listed as in progress on your account, meaning the learning pathway completion was never logged
