How I was able to complete the certification at 0$

There are so many meetups that took place around the world everyday (Some Virtual, some In-Person).

You can participate in these meetups (Virtually, if not in-person), and there is quiz at end of these meetups, where you have the chance to win a 200$/400$ Certification Voucher (I was able to win in one of them🙂).
