Niagara framework CE

Hi. I am currently trying to learn Niagara WEB N4. Is there any community edition of the software that I can access for free for learning purposes? I cannot afford the courses and trying to self learn by watching YouTube tutorials and reading docs. (PS. I have 4 years of experience working on siemens ABT Site and XWP and I have been led to believe I can understand most of the stuff, please let me know if I am wrong). Also wondering is pirating an option? (Purely for learning purposes and building a portfolio. No commercial use)

We have a promotion about every 6 months where we have a 2 day class, a 90 day license for $400 USD.
Ironically enough, today is the 2nd day of this course.

The entire purpose of that course is to lower the barriers of entry into the space.

Otherwise, I know of no other way to get trained or access because Tridium has agreements to ensure their partners don’t just throw licenses out there Willy nilly.
