Unfortunately you haven't fully completed any learning pathway during the eligibility window - it looks like you've only done the first module of several different learning pathways

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if we are going to have another learning festival this year? If yes, when would it be? Thanks a lot!

Hi @Jim_Anderson ,

I had completed the self-paced learning event in January and received a voucher for it. It states that it's expiring on May 2nd. Today (April 26), I tried registering for an exam on May 18 but it says that the coupon has expired. I'm not sure what went wrong here. Could you please help me? I have the mail and the coupon code handy.

Thanks,
Saarthak

Unfortunately, the voucher only works for tests scheduled before May 2, and you can also only reschedule tests up until May 2.
