The problem is that is not possible as i have come to find out. is there another alternative to creating an Azure account other than a credit card? I have no access to a credit card from a bank currently

Hello Dorian Black,

Thanks for your question.

The credit card is needed for identification when creating a Free Trial account.

If you are a student as an alternative you https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students which needs no credit card or you can practice usingthe Microsoft Learn sandbox curated for the az 900 path https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/
Not all Azure services are available within the sandbox environment. Refer to the Microsoft Learn FAQ.
