Hey Cloud Gurus.
You've been studying a bunch and now you are ready to take an Azure
certification and test your new skills. Fantastic.
Let me show you how to book an exam,
and how to know if you've passed and check your score.
Alright,
so first thing we have to do is head to the Microsoft certification page,
which is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/browse.
And in here,
we're going to search for the certification
that we want to schedule an exam for. I'm going to go for the 104,
but if you were looking for the fundamental or the developer exam,
go ahead and search for that one.
And I'm going to scroll down under schedule exam.
We should see the yellow button that says schedule with Pearson Vue.
I'm going to select that. Alright,
we should be asked to log in and then we're presented with our certification
profile. Just make sure the details here are correct.
And in order to continue you do have to select the,
I have read and agree to terms and conditions and privacy and cookies statement.
So you can hit continue. If you are eligible for any discounts,
or if you have any discounts, associated with your email,
go ahead and type them in here. I don't have any.
So I'm going to hit schedule exam.
This is now going to take us to the Pearson Vue site to complete our
transaction.
We have the option to take our exam at a local test center,
online from my home or office, or if you have a private access code.
I'm going to select online from my home or office.
You'll see a link to read about the minimum requirements for online testing.
Do make sure to take a minute to view them over. Next.
Now we have to read through the online exam policies and you have to agree to
them also to advance. So I'm just going to select them on the left here.
I've reviewed these before. Select your preferred language exam.
I'm going to select English.
And now we get to select the language you prefer the Proctor to speak.
English is fine for me.
Now we actually select when we want to take our exam.
So I'm going to set Monday.
I'm going to say the 12 hour format, and I'm gonna say 6:15.
Okay. You do have the option to add some add-ons on here,
practice tests and such. I'm not going to add anything,
but just verify the description,
the details and the price that you're okay with that exam. It's the AZ-104,
the appointment, the time for me, looks like the check-in time is 5:45.
The start time is 6:15, and the price is $165.
Make sure your contact information is correct and then hit, proceed to checkout.
You'll now be presented with Microsoft policies that go over the system
requirements, admission policy, reschedule policy, and cancellation policy.
You do have to hit accept in order to continue.
Now we must fill in our billing information.
Once you fill in your billing information,
you can go ahead and hit next to review the order,
and then you can submit. Fantastic.
Go ahead and hit next and just verify that everything
is correct here. The exam you're taking, the appointment,
you're okay with the price, your name and your order total,
and go ahead and hit submit. And your exam is booked.
The last thing I want to show you is your Microsoft certification dashboard,
which is at https://microsoft.com/en-us/learning/dashboard.
And in here,
you'll see everything related to your active and past certifications and
certification exams, certificates, appointments, transcripts, badges,
additional resources,
and you can even book an exam from here and if you select Pearson Vue,
it'll take you to that website that we were just at.
And that is it for this demo. Great,
we've booked an exam and we know we have the option to book an exam to be taken
in-person or online.
We took a few minutes to go over the prerequisites your machine will need to
meet.
We also know we can expect a pass or fail result within a few minutes of
finishing our exam and a more detailed report in our Microsoft learning
dashboard within five days. Are you taking an Azure certification soon?
