@Cansu the courses are not accessible, it keeps saying I need to Enroll, and the Enroll doesn’t work. can you check?
Purchase Required
In order to access the remaining lessons in this course, you must purchase a membership.
Hi @lakshmi I’ve just sent you a PM to troubleshoot ♀️
Free trainings is nice, free certification is an even better addition.
Currently I only see one certification on the dashboard though, being the MDM consumer certification. I did find another certification for Data Quality and Governance, but this doesn't seem to have any option for an online exam. Is there a way to take this certification exam?
And as a follow up, are there any more types of certification coming?
EDIT:
I found the DQG certification as well, but at first it didn't show up under the ‘Become an Ataccama Certified Professional’ header. Now that I clicked it though, it does show up there.
Luckily I had a tab still open from the before situation, so I've made a screenshot of the before and after. Now I'm wondering if there are more things I'm not seeing. Might be good to check if this is expected behaviour.
Hi @ChrisK I’ve shared this with the team running our Academy, will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for letting us know!
@Cansu , I am also getting a similar message to others that a purchase is required to access the course.
Hi @York Day could you please check it again? Our team notified me access can take up to 24 hours to issue in some cases but we did sped up yours.
Hi @Cansu , I can now access the courses, but now the v14.5 courses are no longer available. Yesterday I could see DQ Foundation and DQ Advanced courses for v14.5, but they’re now not there. The filter in the full catalog shows 12 items for v14.5, but when you select it, it now only shows 7 courses.
As we’re still on v14.5, are these courses no longer available?
I tried to access the courses 3 days ago and today and I still see the message about purchase required
Hi @York Day and @onufry sent you both a PM
Thanks, the 14.5LTS content is now visible again for me:
Hi, am not able to access any courses as it is asking every time Purchase Required for accessing this course
Hi Cansu, I am also receiving the similar message saying Purchase is required.
I’ve pm’d you @akshayl09
Hi @Cansu ,

Thanks

Hi @Raja Koushik it takes up to 24 hours for the access to be granted, please let me know if you are still facing an issue after that and I’ll get in touch via pm ♀️
Hi @Cansu , it works now. I am able to access the content. Thanks!
Hi @Cansu ,
I am seeing the same message when I try to enroll to a training. Please let me know how to proceed further.
Hi @swapnabaylor, I’ll reach out via PM.
Hi @Cansu , Do we get any certification /badge after completion of certification exam through Ataccama Academy?
hi @Cansu , i have just checked that it show purchase required on all stuff. Purchase Required. So please check and provide access. I need to get the training of Data Quality and Catalog.
Hi @nahmed.c, I’ve sent you a PM
Hi Cansu,
We had a staff try to use the training, they can access everything however the first lab requires users to pull data in from a postgres environment. When creating a connection to that environment we are getting connection issues when using the listed ‘training’ user account.
Is this account enabled for anyone to connect to and work with? Otherwise, is it possible to share the tables within that source that we should be able to connect to? Without the data i think it’s impossible to complete the lab exercises in each of the Data Catalog/Quality courses.
Thanks!
Hi @bobparry
Thanks for reaching out and detailing the connection issues your staff member encountered with the training database for the first lab.
I can confirm that the training-db is indeed public and available for anyone to connect to using the provided 'training' user account, and it is currently operational.
The timeout message your employee observed is likely related to network security configurations. The instance of Ataccama they are using might be firewalled or secured in a way that prevents connections to external public resources like our training database. It would be worth checking if there are any outbound connection restrictions in place.
To help you proceed with the lab exercises, I can prepare a dump of the PostgreSQL database schema. This would allow you to host the database environment internally within your organization, bypassing any potential external network issues.
Please let me know if you would like to receive this schema dump. If so, I will follow up separately via email.
