Fabric Subscription

Hi everyone,
Im preparing for the DP-600 (Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer) exam scheduled on 14 January.

I currently don’t have access to a Fabric workspace (no Azure subscription/card), and Im looking for temporary workspace access to get hands-on practice with Fabric features.

If anyone is willing to add me to their Fabric workspace or can suggest an alternative way to get real practice, Id really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi om8604 ... how about me giving you step-by-step instructions for you to get a Fabric trial for 30 days using nothing but a hotmail account? In this article from my blog I explain how to get it Brilliant! How to get started with Fabric with a Hotmail account  ... you can then activate your Trial and practice for your exam! You'll need to provide some sort of payment information to get your azure tenant (Step 2. Create a new Azure tenant) but this is just to confirm your identity, no need to pay anything! Follow the rest of the steps and you'll end up with your own Fabric free capacity to practice for your exam.  

     

    Hope it solves your issue, wish you the best of lucks for your exam ... if you find this info useful, I would apprecaite a thumbs up and mark this as solution.

      you trick worked bro thannk you so much!

  • Hi, getting a Fabric environment is a very easy thing. You need to spend about 10-15 minutes, and you will have your environment ready.

     

    I suggest using the Office 365 Trial for that purpose. I have my personal Fabric tenant using that algorithm. Also, you can repeat that process as many times as you need if 1 month is not enough.

     

    Your actions are:
    1. Register in Office 365. It will give you the work e-mail.

    2. Register in Fabric using that e-mail. 

    Done.

     

    Later, if you want to dig deeper into Fabric, you will be able to extend that tenant to have a paid one. But it is a volunteer activity and a separate topic.

     

    When you do all that, don't forget to cancel the subscription to Office 365 if you don't have plans to continue.

    The detailed instruction is here: https://microsoft.github.io/Data-AI-Kenya-Hack/CREATE_FABRIC_CAPACITY.html

    For that instruction, your question is described in Part1-2 of that instruction.

     

    If that helps, kudos or marking that answer as a solution is highly appreciated.

  • You don’t need someone else’s workspace to prepare for DP-600. There are a few official, free, and exam-relevant ways to get hands-on Fabric practice without an credit card. Microsoft Learn modules for DP-600 include temporary Fabric sandboxes. These spin up automatically when you start the exercise.

  • Hello om8604 

     

    I have passed DP-600 exam (and several other Microsoft exams) without any hands-on exercise. I learnt it by going thorugh Microsft Learn materials and the practice exam, link below. 

     

    Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate - Certifications | Microsoft Learn

     

    I recommend that you get used to look and feel of the exam, by visiting the Exam Sandbox. 

     

    If I could do it, so can you. Best of luck!
