Hi,
I have completed my skill badges before the facilitator program starts. Will those skill badges be counted for the Facilitator Program, or are only badges completed during the program period considered?

23

Skill badges done within the facilitator time period count towards the progression , so previously done skill badges do not count for the facilitator program .

Upon subscribing to The Arcade, you will receive a confirmation email. If you are a new participant, please note that June points have not yet been released. For reference, the last Arcade Insider email I received was sent on June 16, reflecting progress made between January 5 and May 31, 2026.

Your June registration is likely why you aren’t receiving the email.

Thanks man . And can you tell me with the issue i am facing

Configure your Workplace: Google Workspace for IT Admins

I completed these labs but couldn’t access the badge and i am stuck there cause i am not sure if other labs are also broken or not

@Joydip1 I actually started in the month of may and subscribed at that same moment ( I did receive the confirmation Email ) . I completed all the games for may and june . but still now i didnt receive the insider email for the may month. So i dont really think i will receive mail in the future .

If you are doing a lab/skill badge then to confirm that you have completed the lab you have to follow these
-100/100 score is a must
-Some labs require at least 5 -6 minutes to be opened even after you get a full score
-An email is sent to your email regarding your completion along with the score

I recommend waiting a few days to complete the labs. With the Arcade Facilitator program approaching, the labs are likely being updated to fix bugs and accommodate the expected increase in participants.

If you haven’t received the Arcade Insider, try resubmitting the form and waiting until next month. I initially panicked when mine was missing, only to realize I had simply overlooked it. Don’t worry, you still have six months left, and the community is here to help.

Okayy…I think it is the reason why I didn’t get an email from them about by scores coz I registered in June, so I think I will recieve it in future maybe??

37

Don’t worry, you will receive those emails along with the other participants. These Arcade Insider emails are important because they secretly also confirm that you are officially registered for the program.
