Unfortunately you've only completed the AI/BI for Data Analysts module. Please note, to qualify for the incentives through the Data Analyst Learning pathway, you also needed to complete the SQL Analytics on Databricks module

@Jim_Anderson I completed all 4 modules under DBX Professional Engineering pathway. The training pathway app had even shown all 4 modules completed. I fail to understand why the platform showed one slide missing under Asset bundle module. This is a glitch in the system and I also reached out to the support.  My email is smkhosla@yahoo.com. 

thank you in advance for your help in sorting this out. Worked hard on all these modules.

I'm sorry, but if the module was not logged as completed during the time period then unfortunately no certification voucher will have been generated as the learning pathway was not logged as fully completed.
