Hello.

I completed all 4 courses to get the voucher 50% off to Data Engineer Associate Ceritifcate, and I didn’t get it by email. Is anyone else in the same situation?

I don’t know if it makes sense, but I made one of them in Portuguese.

 

Thank you.

Hi! I participated in the Databricks Festival, completed the Associate Data Engineering topics, but I didn’t receive the voucher.

I registered using my company email, and my junk folder is automatically cleared at the end of each day. So it’s possible that the email was delivered there and got deleted before I had a chance to see it.

Could you please check if it was sent or resend it?

Thank you!
