FAQs
FAQs
Q1. I have completed the "Postman API Fundamentals Student Expert Certification" previously and I have received the certificate. Do I need to do the bootcamp again?
You don't have to do the first course in that case. But the new bootcamp is a collection of "Course 1: Postman API Fundamentals Student Expert Certification" and "Course 2: Project-Based Learning: Build an AI Text Summarizer App". So you can directly do the second course, in that case.
Q2. How do I access the courses? (for both people who have already finished Course 1 as well as those who haven't)
Click on one of the links mentioned under Registration, which will take you to the Postman Academy official website. You will be asked to sign up with a new account or sign in with a pre-existing account if applicable.
