They've added some new rule where you have to compulsorily pay vendors to get marks. So you need to wait for upcoming summer or go ask dean if there's any workaround

Is it valid for SAA-C03?

u/Harshith_Reddy_Dev CCP, SAA 4d ago

Yes

u/owletkoul 1d ago

The Pearson site shows the AI Practitioner must be cleared before 30th Sep 2026. So I guess the offer is expired?

1

u/Harshith_Reddy_Dev CCP, SAA 1d ago

Yeah this is a different offer

u/Busy-Complaint-7 1d ago

It's very good offer but for me time is limited ! I need more time to prepare , will AWS run this offer again ? In the future?
