Question

How to schedule certification exam? I am unable to move forward after submitting address and location details

Answer 1

Follow these steps and checks to schedule the certification exam and address the issue after submitting address/location details:

1. Start from the correct exam page
   • Go to the certification overview or browse page and select the desired exam.
   • On the exam/certification details page, scroll to Schedule exam and choose the exam provider (typically Schedule with Pearson VUE for Azure role-based exams).
2. Ensure Learn profile is complete and correct
   • When prompted, sign in to the Microsoft Learn profile (recommended: personal Microsoft account).
   • If redirected to add a legal name, ensure the legal name exactly matches the government ID.
   • Fill in all required fields: address, phone number, and contact email. This information is required by Pearson VUE.
   • Click Submit to continue to Pearson VUE.
3. If unable to move forward after address/location submission
   • If an error appears (for example, an “unexpected error” or failure to proceed to Pearson VUE), check whether the browser URL or error details include ERROR_VUE_WIDE_BLOCK.
   • ERROR_VUE_WIDE_BLOCK typically indicates the Pearson VUE account is blocked, often due to multiple failed payment attempts.
   • In that case, contact Pearson VUE support via the link provided on the Microsoft Certification Support page so Pearson VUE can remove the block.
4. General scheduling rules to be aware of
   • A maximum of two Microsoft Certification exams can be scheduled at a time through Pearson VUE. After taking or cancelling one, another can be scheduled.
   • Exams can be scheduled no more than 90 days in advance.
   • During scheduling with Pearson VUE, choose whether to take the exam online or at a test center, depending on availability.
5. If the problem persists
   • If the profile is complete and there is no visible Pearson VUE block but the process still stops after address/location submission, open a support request through Microsoft Certification Support so the Learn/Certification team can review the account and scheduling flow.
