We only have limited slots and want to prioritize access for those who will genuinely use the platform.

  • No acceptance within 2 weeks of invitation → invitation withdrawn
  • No usage within 2 weeks of acceptance → access revoked

DataCamp Premium costs approximately $29 USD per month. We want to maximize every slot for the community over the full 12-month period.
