I have been doing Azure training for 2 days on my account but I have now hit a wall. I am unable to continue the training as I have no subscription. When I try to get a free subscription to do the training I always get the same message. 'Looks like you already have an account'.
Please help

Hi Sean Walker,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
The Azure free account offers complimentary access to various Azure products for a duration of 12 months. Additionally, you will receive a $200 credit for the initial 30 days after sign-up, along with access to over 40 services that are available always free of charge.
You can sign up for Azure Free Trial subscription here: Azure free account
There is also Azure Free for Students: Azure for Students
Here is the FAQ document on Azure Free Trial: Azure free account FAQ
More information here: Microsoft Azure
If you're getting the "looks like you already have an account" message, please check the following:
I recommend reaching out to Azure Sales: Contact Microsoft Azure Sales
You may have accidentally signed up before, and to continue your learning, you might need to sign up with a pay-as-you-go subscription. Just a suggestion: you can continue using Microsoft Learn Sandbox for free to run Microsoft Learn training exercises in your own subscription: Run Microsoft Learn training exercises in your own subscription
If you are still unable to resolve the issue, contact Azure support for assistance, providing detailed information about your subscription.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any other queries.
If you found the information helpful, we would greatly appreciate it if you could acknowledge it by selecting the Accept Answer & Upvote options.

Hello,
I'm taking advantage of the above request to ask an information about the Microsoft Learn Exercises, like DP XXX exam and courses, and the pay-as-you-go Azure subscription.
The courses provide exercises but not always a sandbox, so you need to use you own Azure subscription.
But are these exercises all included in the free resources limits, or should I expect to have expenses while doing these exercises ?
Many thanks for your help !
Yes,
You are right in assuming that for some of the Learn Paths you need a pay-as-you-go subscription to be able to practice the learnings. And deleting the services created will result in very minimal charges.
