For microsoft free professional certification for student program, do I need to have take at least one cerfication test in order to join the program? (to create certification profile)

Question

From this article https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/educator-developer-blog/students-kick-start-your-tech-career-with-a-microsoft/ba-p/3688548 , it said that there're free cerfication for students.

However, it seems that you need to have certication profile in order to join which I can create from taking at least one of the test. So I need to have at least one test to join the program is that correct?
