Hello,
I started studying the DP-203 and as I was doing the self-paced study, for one of the exercises, you are required to have an Azure subscription. I was wondering if it is possible to do the whole self-study with the free subscription, or if I actually need a subscription.
Thanks in advance.
This question is related to the following Learning Module

Hello Quentin Belaud,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Yes, you can complete the self-paced study for DP-203 with a free Azure subscription.
You can sign up for a free Azure account which includes $200 in credit for the first 30 days. This will give you access to resources and allow you to complete the exercises.
To sign up for the free Azure account, you can follow the below link.

Hello, is it still possible to complete it after the 30 days and a basic subscription without paying?
Hello
The $200 free Azure credits (“Credits”) to be used within the first 30 days of sign-up and 12 months of select free services: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/#all-free-services
This offer is limited to one Azure free account per eligible customer and cannot be combined with any other offer unless otherwise permitted by Microsoft.
If your lab consists of any of the 12 months of select free services, then you can complete it after the 30-day sign-up period. However, if your lab requires services that are not included in the select free services, then you may need to complete them before the 30-day trial period ends.
I hope this helps clarify the options available to you for completing the DP-203 self-paced study.
