Question

i finished a course in AI SKILL FEST JUNE8-12.what next to get certified?

Answer 1

Did you submit the voucher claim form before June 12th, did you completed an unedited pre-defined playlist from the event, and did you enter the same email address that you used to register for the event? If so, see https://aka.ms/AISF_Sweepstakes

You will receive your free voucher via email from Pearson between the dates of June 19 and July 10, 2026.

If you didn't claim your voucher, there is no method to claim after the event is over.

Answer 2

Completing an AI Skills Fest course or playlist does not, by itself, grant a Microsoft Certification. Here is what happens and what to do next:

1. What you already earned
   • For finishing a Microsoft Learn course or playlist, the achievements are badges (for modules) and trophies (for learning paths).
   • These appear under Profile → Achievements on Microsoft Learn, not as certifications.
2. About AI Skills Fest vouchers
   • For AI Skills Fest 2026, eligibility for certification exam vouchers required completing an eligible playlist and submitting the official voucher claim form before the stated deadline (for example, June 12 in one of the referenced cases).
   • If the claim form was not submitted within the event window, there is no process after the event to manually issue a voucher; this is enforced by the published terms and conditions.
3. How to actually get certified
   • To earn a Microsoft Certification (for example, Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals or Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate), it is necessary to pass the required certification exam(s).
   • AI Skills Fest learning paths help prepare for these exams, but the certification is only awarded after passing the exam.
4. Next practical steps
   • Decide which certification fits the goals (for example, Azure AI Fundamentals for beginner level, or Azure AI Engineer Associate / Azure Data Scientist Associate for intermediate level).
   • Use the certification pages to review the skills measured and exam requirements, then schedule and take the exam.
   • If a voucher was successfully claimed during the event, it can be used at exam registration; otherwise, standard exam payment applies.
