Dear Bright, Yes, of course! It's not late at all. The course will be available at all times, without a deadline, as it's a self-paced course with computer-graded exercises. If you are interested, here's the link for it again: *OpenRefine for Wikimedia Commons: the basics* <https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2023/about> .
Hoping you are able to join!
