Hi

I’m following your cursus. I’m now learning Unit 2 - Error handling directives - Ignore, Rollback and Commit.

I follow step by step your explaination, but I can notice that “Ignore module” doesn’t deliver the right answer. How can you explain ?

I tried on Brave and on Firefox. The same result. So It’s impossible to continue to learn with such a bug. What can I do please ?

Thanks a lot

What is the error from the HTTP module?

For issues with the Make Academy like this, directly contacting support can often lead to a faster resolution. They have access to your specific account details, scenario and scenario logs, server-side logs, and internal tools and resources, which allows them to investigate further.

You can open a new ticket here, or if you are unable to login for some reason, you can create another new free account to access the ticketing system (which is only available to logged-in users).

If you manage to get your issue resolved with support, we’d still love to hear about it! Sharing your solution on the forum can help others facing similar problems.

Thanks for sharing. I have been using make since the last two months and Make takes care of many of my tasks and social media posts.

[Ben_Lovegrove]

Hello,

I have completed both Foundation and Basics, but only the Foundation badge has appeared in my Credly account.

When I completed Basics it said that the badge would be emailed to Credly but it has not appeared.

Is this a known fault?

Thanks.

Hey Ben

Paul here from the Academy team - will reach out directly regarding your query.

[Jayesh_Makhar]

[PaulB]

I can see that you have received your badges for Foundation, Basics and Intermediate.

Note that in total, we now only issue 4 badges: Foundation, Basics, Intermediate, Advanced as per Make - Credly

For the AI course, we do not issue a badge at this time.

Hi Sir,

I hope you’re doing well!

I’m Jayesh, a 2nd-year Computer Science student deeply passionate about automation and Make. I aspire to work at Make in the future, and I would love to learn from your insights.

Could you kindly guide me on what skills or knowledge would be beneficial for this? Also, I’m curious about Make’s work culture, the recruitment process, and internship opportunities. I’d truly appreciate any advice or suggestions you can share.

Looking forward to your response. Thank you so much for your time and help!

Best regards,
Jayesh Makhar

Hey i have finished the courses for make Foundation, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. However i still feel like im not that good in solving an issue myself using make.com. Any place i can find easy tasks that i can complete which continues to get harder?

[samliew]

Welcome to the Make community!

@Leon.Ariens

Any place i can find easy tasks that i can complete which continues to get harder?

Check out the Make Partner Training Portal for a slightly more difficult course, with two major assessments.

You can also help others by finding unanswered questions to answer on this forum!

There is a typo here. @vendy

[Leon.Ariens]

Thank you so much! i dont really like the courses but i just helped the first guy in “finding unanswered questions to answer” and it was really valuable getting some hands on experience so i will definitely continue doing so.

I would love it if you could check it out and maybe give me some feedback, if that isnt asking for too much.

Hey
I finished the academy.
As an automation agency, would you recommend going through the partner training as well, or is it the same as the academy?

If it is not the same, what are the key advantages of learning the partner training courses?

[Deepak_D]

Really enjoyed completing the courses. I’m on advanced and AI Agent course.

Hope to complete them soon.
