    Yes. Microsoft offers some free learning options that can lead to a certificate, but it depends on the program:

    • Microsoft Essentials Professional Certificates are free.
      • The learning path and assessment are free.
      • The assessment is available immediately after completing the LinkedIn Learning path.
      • The assessment is not proctored.
      • These certificates do not expire.
      • Current options include:
        1. Microsoft Azure AI Essentials Professional Certificate
        2. Microsoft Security Essentials Professional Certificate
    • For many other Microsoft certifications, the training may be free, but the certification exam is usually paid.
      • A certificate is generally awarded for passing the exam, not just for completing Microsoft Learn modules or courses.
    • There have also been limited-time promotional offers in the past, such as free certification exam offers tied to events or challenges, but those are time-bound and not general free certification programs.

    A good starting point is the LinkedIn Learning Microsoft Professional Certificates overview page listed in the documentation.

    Practically all training courses are currently free through Microsoft Learn Training, but official Microsoft certification exams are not free. You may be able to obtain some Microsoft certifications at no or significantly reduced cost by participating in Microsoft Cloud Skills Challenges, qualifying as a student, or taking advantage of promotional exam vouchers offered during certain events.

    Microsoft occasionally offers 100% free exam vouchers through Cloud Skills Challenges associated with virtual events such as Microsoft Build or Ignite. When available, completing a specific learning challenge may qualify you for an exam voucher.

    Eligible students may also have access to free Microsoft Fundamentals certification exams through the Microsoft Learn Student Hub. The availability and eligibility requirements depend on the specific student program.

    In any case, even when a free exam voucher is not available, you can study the material for free through Microsoft Learn. Microsoft provides self-paced learning modules covering subjects such as Azure, AI, and Power Platform, allowing you to prepare for certification exams without paying for the training itself.
