I have attended the "Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Generative AI Fundamentals" (similar to this event) and I have not yet received my voucher.

Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Generative AI Fundamentals event is open to the public and offered at no cost. Upon completion of the event, the exam is offered at a 50% discount off the exam rate. Prior to registering for this training, government employees must check with their employers to ensure their participation is permitted, and in accordance with, applicable policies and laws.

I also checked the FAQ (https://aka.ms/MVTD_FAQ_EN) but there is no mention of how to get the voucher. Furthermore I have logged onto my certification/exam portal (https://examregistration.microsoft.com/) and check if there are discounts associated with the email I used for the registration, but none were listed.

Can you please advise how I can get my 50% discounted Microsoft certification exam for the Virtual Training Day I attended?

Thank you

    First ensure that you have completed the challenge.

    • In the 'where you stand' section you will see a fraction that equals 100% (i.e. 8/8 or 5/5 or 12/12).

    Second, ensure for the past six months, you haven't received another discounted code.

    • Each person is only eligible to receive one (1) discounted certification exam code every six months. If you complete an additional challenge more than six months after receiving your first code, you will be eligible for another code at that time.
    • If still you are eligible, generally you must receive. an email similar to the following. the screenshot says about free voucher, but it must be similar for 50% off also. User's image
    • Discounted certification exam codes will be delivered by email within 3 days of completing all modules within a challenge. You will need to have an “Email for notifications” saved in your Microsoft Learn profile prior to completing the challenge to receive this email.

    Hope this helps
