Hello
I did the "Introduction to the AWS Management Console" but it is still showing 0% in my dashboard. I couldnot go to next lesson "Introduction to Cloud 101" It is showing ACCESS DENIED. Kindly answer me it is normal?
it is an error ,pls retry or refresh the page after sometime 😊

Hi Nikhil, thank you for sharing! I’ve completed one course, but the ETC is still not showing. Is it normal? 😁
maybe some error , retry after somtime
Course "Intro to AWS Mgmt console" not providing badge.
Following are Badges for ETC :-
credly.com/organizations/amazon-we...
I've done everything on the ETC eplore and got all the points I can for the but I'm still only on 2152 points , so where can I get more points and how long will it take me to get to 5200 points for the voucher
Also if content is posted 6 times a week of an average of 60 points per piece of content that's only 360 points so it take almost 2 months to get enough for the voucher?
@nikhil_nareddula_ in that case, it will take time to get enough points as exactly as they have mentioned in the blog that the month of august will be the end time for free voucher. isn't it ?
and is it really worth to spend around 2.5k for skill builder subscription and to spend more time to complete all the courses ? can you tell us how many people got benefitted(certified) till now through this process ? (for motivational purpose)
No , you dont need any subscription, there are free plans available , and yes it takes time to get that much points, ETL every week provides new tasks complete and earn.
every week they provide new tasks, complete and earn .
Is it the same amount of tasks they release each week, or is it random, and is there any way to get more points from doing other prep courses, or is it only on ETC explore?
I am looking for Data Engineer Associate certification, Will I get 100% off Voucher after completing practice test win passing score, or is it like 50% off or partial offer. Anyone please let me know will 100% off with the voucher for certification examination as it mentioned as 100% Free Certification Voucher. Thanks! in advance.
after completing all the steps and tasks u can get points that are eligible to reqest for exam voucher , yes it is 100% free for any one exam in aws assocaite levels or foundational levels
I am getting below error when I am setting up password for my AWS Educate account, is it like we need to use any school gmail account only or can we use personal gmail account also?
Error message:INVALID_SESSION_ID: This session is not valid for use with the API aws educate
Pls fill the credentials correctly and create a strong password sometimes weak passwords are may not taken , if still having error retry after sometime
