MS-500 course and trials

Hello,

I have started training with the MS-500 materials and I end up being stuck with expired azure trial account which I have already used in summertime for something else. I'm wondering what are my options to continue this course that I could actually try the exercises?
Using other bank card did not help as it seems as my name is already related with previous trial. I'm getting message that I am not anymore eligible to start new trial. Also I'm not a University student to get free trials.

Just funny situation as the free training materials suppose to be free. So the goal is that people who have access at work to the MS services are getting opportunity to study? :D

The pay as you go package is confusing for me as I have no idea what services are needed in the course. How much I would end up paying for?

is the developer plan 29 usd/month enough for doing MS-500 course?

The pricing calculator could help.

otherwise I'd try asking for help with course issues in dedicated forums here. (Participate\Ask A Question)

    Hey Andreas,

    Thanks!

    Ok, this exam sandbox I did not even think about using during the course, as it sounds like something you use before taking the exam, after you have already studied everything.

    I have been thinking about how to solve this issue. One option is to discuss also with azure support but other option is to take MS-500 classroom training. At least it would be fixed price and I know what I am getting :D

    You will find exercise elements that are running in a sandbox (for free).
