    Still haven't received my voucher from ignite.

    • megaalc on 21/10/2020 - 13:09

      you are not supposed to receive anything as such - you will see if you are eligible after you click schedule button http://prntscr.com/v3h6lh

      • scud70 on 21/10/2020 - 13:31

        Not what they continued to say during the course, the chat kept repeating it over and over and you will receive and email with the "discount voucher" however they want to implement it is up to them but there was no subsequent email.

        • megaalc on 21/10/2020 - 13:58

          nothing to do with any course as he asking about "voucher from ignite."

        • Galvatron on 21/10/2020 - 14:26

          If you completed the Cloud Skills Challenge, you should have received a follow-up email titled "See if you earned a free Microsoft Certification exam in the Microsoft Ignite Cloud Skills Challenge" on October 15.

          • BarginHunter on 21/10/2020 - 14:41

            @Galvatron: I didn't receive anything and when I try to schedule an exam it wants to charge me.

            • Galvatron on 21/10/2020 - 14:45

              @BarginHunter: Did you complete the Cloud Skills Challenge? You need to have fully completed at least one challenge to receive a voucher.

              • BarginHunter on 21/10/2020 - 14:48

                @Galvatron: Yeah, on my profile it shows I completed 8/8 modules. Not sure if there's somewhere else I can double check.

                • megaalc on 21/10/2020 - 17:24

                  @BarginHunter: Make sure you put your email in profile settings

                    • megaalc on 22/10/2020 - 09:56

                      @BarginHunter: did you add your primary one before challenge ended or after ?

                      • BarginHunter on 22/10/2020 - 10:17

                        @megaalc: Primary was added before, I remember having an email added was mentioned a few times so I made sure I had one. I've emailed them via the email address you posted above, so hopefully they get back to me.

                        Edit: The email you provided no longer works unfortunately. My Email bounced back.

          shame they didn't say that during the thing… i'll give it a go and see last time it wanted me to pay

          • logistics on 21/10/2020 - 13:55

            @scud70: They said it in last week's session that I attended.

            They also mentioned something about 3 months but I missed it.

            • scud70 on 21/10/2020 - 14:01

              @logistics: would have been the same training i was on, but they had 3-4 different messages most suggesting an email will come bla bla … anywho the below vid explains a similar thing .. but at least it shows what to do hehehe

        • scud70 on 21/10/2020 - 13:51

          Thanks mate, you are a champ :) found some decent instructions i posted below and linked my personal to my work and the voucher showed up then …

        • OzFrugie on 21/10/2020 - 23:45

          Does it mean that when u register to this seminar you need to use your email used for Microsoft account?

    • scud70 on 21/10/2020 - 13:50

      Ok found this and it explains it properly…and as zzz mentions you don't need the email or a voucher or whatever they said. Just follow it, i had my registration via work email so i linked it to my personal as they mentioned (you cant do exams without personal email it seems).

        I used this to do some practice runs before the exam. Helped me a lot.

      • Marrk on 21/10/2020 - 14:15

        I used a Udemy course by Scott Duffy and Whizlabs for practise exams. Spent around $30 from memory, wouldn't rely on the Webinar alone for passing the exam. Recommend the practise exams the most.

    • DrPopkorne on 21/10/2020 - 15:25

      Do you take the exam at a Pearson test centre or from home?

      • applechewz on 21/10/2020 - 18:44

        Did mine from home

      • Marrk on 21/10/2020 - 20:59

        Did mine at a testing centre due to occasional NBN drop-outs at home, would probably do online next time.

      you watch Americans make jokes they think everyone around the world will get… (you might get it but its not really funny) ..haha otherwise no catch block out 2 days worth of 2 1/2-3 hours and get the basics of Azure .. first days is good for techies and how things look in azure second day is good for account admin, compliance and security but very general view of it.

        Will I get cheaper azure devices, does my Xbox ultimate pass get me anything? Like Amazon prime.

        What the hell am I getting, might just stick with udemy free Oz bargain courses.

        • Benjamin7711 on 21/10/2020 - 14:55

          You get a recognised certification to put on your resume after passing the exam - rather than having to state you're an active Udemy user ;)

            @Benjamin7711: LOL! except every man and his dog now have the same cert… hehehe

            • Benjamin7711 on 21/10/2020 - 15:13

              @scud70: Haha yeah true. I guess at the very least you don't get "This guy doesn't even have the fundamentals certificate- NEXT" lol

            • gromit on 21/10/2020 - 15:20

              @scud70: well yeah, it is basically one of the easiest Azure certs to get. Even the non technical Sales guys at MS are required to pass this.

              • scud70 on 21/10/2020 - 15:44

                @gromit: Good intro to cloud computing especially from an IaaS and PaaS perspective… so i'd recommend anyone who is starting out in IT or just want to get a feel for how Azure ticks even if you dont care about the cert.. :)

                  @scud70: yep it is an excellent overview. provides a good basis to work your way up to some of the more complex certifications and helps people understand what is available and how everything fits together without having to know how every detail works.

          • [Deactivated] on 21/10/2020 - 19:09

            @Benjamin7711: Ahh is Microsoft certification hard, I heard people on here complain their exams are hard.

  • Flowerbomb on 21/10/2020 - 14:04

    Hopefully this will be available during the christmas shutdown period.

  • dealsforlife on 21/10/2020 - 14:28

    I see this certificate all over LinkedIn. Might give it a go. Thanks OP!

  • littlesoldier on 21/10/2020 - 14:46

    I took the course back in 28 May 2020
    and got the voucher on the 3 Jun 2020

    The voucher expires in 3 months but you can book future days as long as before the expiry

    Just note that by just joining this instructor led training is not sufficient to pass the exam
    you will need to go through the Microsoft Learning website as well as doing some practice exams

  • No on 21/10/2020 - 15:02

    Do you have to actually sit the course? Do they verify?

    Only because I will be at work during all the schedules.

    • littlesoldier on 21/10/2020 - 15:08

      You need to join the live sessions (both morning and afternoon) to get the free exam voucher
      but you can always leave the session open

      TBH, I highly doubt that its a "real" live sessions
      It's more likely a recorded sessions with a real person replying on the chat window (you cannot talk to the instructor at all)

      • notoriousft on 21/10/2020 - 18:33

        It is a recorded session. I had a look at some parts of it twice.

    For anyone having issues in redeeming the previous coupon, I solved the issue by using the latest Microsoft Edge Chrome-based browser. The coupon suddenly appears during registration.

    Passed this exam yesterday. It's a relatively easy one but you still need to read a fair bit.

  • abhideswal on 21/10/2020 - 19:28

    Once you complete this, they would most probably offer another one. I have just registered for Data Warehousing one, hope they keep coming in 🙂

    I was a bit underwhelmed by this when I did it in September. Okay, it's free, but it's basically just a Microsoft sales pitch. It's pretty dull and uninspiring stuff, and I write this as someone with close to 25 years experience working in IT.

    • motion2082 on 22/10/2020 - 08:57

      Same, sat the Exam last week via PSI online. They made me wait 1 hour 20 mins to launch the exam then I failed by 10%

      Cost me $21aud on the Covid special but to resit they want the full $170aud

      Studied for 5 weeks but the questions were a combination of multiple choice and yes/no x3 scenarios. Very misleading. Felt like a hook to get more money from you.

      Disappointed I failed as everyone goes on about how easy the exam is. My experience was the opposite.

      My performance on each section of the exam is provided below.

      Understand Cloud Concepts (15-20%): 81%
      Understand Core Azure Services (30-35%): 47%
      Understand Security, Privacy, Compliance, and Trust (30-35%): 88%
      Understand Azure Pricing and Support (25-30%): 33%

      Score:591

      Passmark:700

      • miken on 23/10/2020 - 10:07

        Azure Fundamentals learning paths on docs.microsoft.com contain about 90% information required. Also internet is full of exam dumps - this can help you massively to get a better score. Lots of those questions still come up in the real exam. However be aware that some answers on the internet sites are incorrect - but this is where your knowledge of the subject should help ;-)
        I passed mine with 953.

  • kl2999 on 22/10/2020 - 09:27

    I did this course at MS office Sydney last year around Dec. And I did the exam after the lecture, I can tell you that the test is not hard. Some of the question is just logical and common sense.
