I am unable to do the C4W1 Data Normalization practice lab in Coursera, as I can’t access the AWS console. When I run the code cell and click the AWS console link, nothing happens.
When I execute
cat /home/coder/vocapi_logger > vocapi_logger
It says:

Run count initialized to 0
.aws directory and aws_console_url file are created

Key issue being:
{'error': {'message': 'Course access forbidden'}}
I filled out the Google Form (Data Engineering - Account Issue Report (Coursera)) and have not gotten any reply after 4 days. Not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated!
