50% exam discount from attending Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Fundamentals event

Question

Hello,

I attended the Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Fundamentals event, but I used a different email address than the one on my Microsoft Learn account.

I have now added the event email to my Microsoft Learn profile, but the 50% exam discount is still not showing when I try to schedule the AZ‑900 exam.

Could you please attach the event attendee discount to my Microsoft Learn account?

Event date: February 23, 2026

Thank you!

Answer 1

The event attendee discount cannot be manually attached from here. However, the expected behavior and next steps are:

1. For Microsoft Virtual Training Day – Azure Fundamentals, the discount is tied to the email address used to register for the event.
2. The discount is applied to the Learn profile for that same email address and appears automatically at the final stage of checkout when scheduling an eligible exam (such as AZ‑900) through Pearson VUE.
3. Discounts from events are typically applied a few business days after the event. If the event was very recent, wait at least five business days after the event date.
4. When scheduling the exam, ensure:
   • Sign in to Microsoft Learn with the same email address used to register for the event.
   • Start from the AZ‑900 exam page, select “Schedule exam,” sign in, confirm the Certification Profile, and proceed to the exam provider checkout. Any eligible discount will be applied automatically during checkout.

If, after five business days, the discount still does not appear when following the above steps with the correct event email, contact Microsoft Certification Support so they can review the event registration and discount eligibility and attach or correct the discount on the profile if applicable.
