You do need to login with your ServiceNow account (similar to the community login) but they are free. Are you able to access this site?

Office Hours! So pleased to discover this 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
I also get a blank screen on the Learning Portal links but both courses can be found easily enough using the provided course names in the search once logged in.
To add to the resources list, there are some PA labs from the Knowledge 19 Digital Guidebooks that have been made available since the article was published.

I am no longer able to find "Performance Analytics Essentials." That was a really great self-paced course that I have been sharing in my organization. Has it been removed or renamed?

Actually I found it in "Now Learning" but it didn't come up in a search. I had to filter on all Performance Analytics courses and found it here https://nowlearning.service-now.com/lxp?id=overview&sys_id=b7c222e8db1a7300760a710439961926&type=cou...
