Microsoft Certification Week – Free Exam Voucher

Posted by hot_zubs@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 39 comments

Hey everyone,

Sharing this info as I received it—I’ve already registered myself but haven’t used Fast Lane before, though it looks genuine. Here’s what I found:

When: May 12–16, 2025
Format: Live online sessions (in German) you can join from anywhere
Tracks: AZ‑104, AI‑102, SC‑200, SC‑300, SC‑401, AZ‑305, DP‑600, SC‑100, and more
Perk: Complete all sessions in your chosen track and you’ll receive a 100 % discount voucher for that exam
Registration: Must sign up with your work email address to qualify for the voucher

Whether you’re new to Azure or aiming for expert‑level skills, this seems like a solid way to upskill, meet Microsoft Partner requirements, and save on exam fees.

Check it out & register here:

I didn’t receive any email apart from registration confirmation mail.

Anyone got the voucher after registering and attending the course ?

[-]

hot_zubs@reddit (OP)

Some of my friends received the voucher

You should have received the email to fill in the Survey, did you complete it ?

I did not receive anything besides the initial registration confirmation. Very disappointing. And yes I registered with my work email.

Hey, I'm little confused I finished one of the challenge last week AI Skills Fest Challenge: Become a Certified Fabric Data Engineer: Prep for the DP-700 Certification. I got 14/14 and how do I get the voucher? it says Please reach out to your challenge sponsor for more information. I'm confused any help would be appreciated

I still haven’t received the voucher. Has anyone received theirs after April 19?

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

Yeah it’s real. I’d be concerned if it wasn’t because that’s who pays me every two weeks lol. Feel free to message me here if you have any questions on it!

Hey man, I wanted to registered for AZ-104, but it's greyed out. :-( :-( Is it like full capacity now?

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

Yup

cyeraxvi@reddit

Can I use these vouchers in The Netherlands?

Thank you.

From my understanding, it only works in the country that they are purchased in - https://trainingsupport.microsoft.com/en-us/mcp/forum/all/redeem-a-german-exam-voucher-in-switzerland/c212239b-7c09-48d7-ae33-dfccea532482

Why does the en-US site say the courses are in German? And it does so…in English?

Is it English or not?

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

Yeah that’s confusing. That’s being run out of our Germany team. Our free Microsoft US classes are here but have different offerings -

Flareon223@reddit

But does the German one have English at all? Even subtitles?

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

We don’t have subtitles since it’s a live instructor through video conferencing.

[-]

Flareon223@reddit

Aww... Man. I hope an English speaking team does something like this. Free boothcamps are insane value

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

For sure. Here’s what we have for free:

https://www.fastlaneus.com/aws-discovery-days
https://www.fastlaneus.com/google-cloud-fundamentals
https://www.fastlaneus.com/free-splunk-training

Depending on what’s negotiated with other vendors such as Cisco, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, etc… your organization might have training credits they can use to redeem for training and certifications. You can redeem them with us or any authorized learning partner.

Unfortunately, I already have or am not interested in those. This event was offering sc300, az500, and also other courses revolving around azure security and I'm working on sc300 and az500 rn so that's why I cared.

And we have esi with Microsoft but that's all. We have a certification incentive program, but not credits for training courses

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

Gotcha, we work with Microsoft ESI as well and it includes most of the SC, AZ and AI classes. What I will also do is suggest we do something similar again in the US market.

[-]

Flareon223@reddit

Please do. I think it'll be extremely popular I think and be good advertising for your products

[-]

hot_zubs@reddit (OP)

So this one is just the training, as far as I can see this doesn't say they give you Free Exam Voucher, but the one in German says you get Exam voucher at the end of the Training.

How does this work? any idea

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

We used to offer the same promotion but don’t anymore. I’m not sure if the vouchers are region specific. I can find out more after the Easter holiday.

Was there a specific training or certification you needed?

[-]

Flareon223@reddit

I'm not op but I'm working on az500 and sc300. I speak English and Japaneseand work in Japan. Curious to know about possible region restrictions. Also can you confirm if there will be at least English subtitles or something if it's taught in German? I'm very interested in this as it's very high value

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

I just checked with my team and the vouchers are in fact region specific. Won’t work in the US.

[-]

Flareon223@reddit

Not Japan either? Also tbh even if I can't get a voucher I still want to know if they have even English subs. I would still be down to do the free boothcamps

[-]

SquareSphere@reddit

I'm interested in signing up but it said I needed to register with my business email. I'm getting laid off May 2nd and no longer have access to work email, will I need to access emailed resources during the sessions?

Don't have another domain with mail to use right now.

[-]

soulreaver99@reddit

Yes you do need your work email for the voucher. As someone pointed out, it’s presented in German so it might not matter anyway, and I’m not sure if the vouchers are region specific.

[-]

Ham1dx@reddit

So you get a voucher that you can use on any exam or only the ones that are listed

[-]

ledow@reddit

It says:

Language: Sessions conducted in German language.

for me (and, no, I have nothing set to German and do not live in Germany)

[-]

hot_zubs@reddit (OP)

I'm also attending it just for the Exam vouchers

[-]

ProfessionalWalrus15@reddit

But it is only available for some countries, right?
