The lesson - and the quizzes based on it - use the grave accent for all 6 endings in this tense.
But all of the online conjugators that I have checked with use the acute accent.
As do all of the exmples in context on the web.

Apparently it's changed. (Also true of préférer)
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/compl%C3%A9ter
"One special case is the future stem, used in the future and the conditional. Before 1990, the future stem of such verbs was written compléter-, reflecting the historic pronunciation /e/. In 1990, the French Academy recommended that it be written complèter-, reflecting the now common pronunciation /ɛ/, thereby making this distinction consistent throughout the conjugation (and also matching in this regard the conjugations of verbs like lever and jeter). Both spellings are in use today."
