I’d like to raise a concern that I believe affects many long‑time Alteryx users. I was laid off in February and have been unable to access Designer since. I hold the Advanced Certification, but without a business or school email address, I can’t download a trial license or participate in the SparkED Independent Learner program.
This creates a real barrier for professionals who are between roles and trying to keep their skills sharp — especially when certifications are time‑sensitive. My Advanced Certification is approaching expiration, and I currently have no way to practice, learn, or prepare.
Is there an established process for certified users who are temporarily without employer access? If not, I’d strongly encourage Alteryx to consider one. Many of us have invested years into this platform, built our careers around it, and want to continue doing so.
Any help, guidance, or direction would be sincerely appreciated.
