@KarisaE  Any ongoing discounts for the certification ?

[KarisaE]

Hi @riteshmuhatte ! Thank you for reaching. That is a great question. Currently we do not. If that changes, I will update the thread here. In addition, since I last posted, we have a new training platform called Looker Connect. Have you gotten to check that out yet? If not, please check out the above updated post for more info on it. If any other questions come up, please let me know!

It looks like the Looker Business Exam is retired? Are there any other ways to get a Certificate of completion?

[KarisaE]

Great question @cyrus-164133140 ! I am checking into what other options might be available.

Hi @Looker @KarisaE, I have a question. Do you receive any certificate of completion of the Journeys in the Looker Connect (e.g. the Data Consumer journey training)?
