public class ButtonClick {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.edureka.co/");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='https://www.edureka.co/selenium-certification-training']")).click();
    }
}

I am getting an error saying that element not found.

Your code works fine here, the only possibility of you getting this error would be if you are searching for the element that is not yet displayed. Try adding a wait before searching for the element. Hope this will work.

public class ButtonClick {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
    {
       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\priyj_kumar\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.edureka.co/");
        Thread.sleep(5000);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='https://www.edureka.co/selenium-certification-training']")).click();
    }
}

@priyaj, But thread.sleep() is not a wait statement right? Which one should be used?
