Hello everyone,

the exam is online.
Should the place (geolocation) of registration for the exam coincide with the place of taking the exam?
Can a different country and city be a problem?

[FabricPam]

Please message fabric-ready@microsoft.com with the details.

[Krivas]

Is the exam online or at a exam centre on particular dates? I am in Sydney, Australia

[Rishabg]

I got a message saying my voucher cannot be sent without completing the ignite challenge 

And I was asked to email at fabric-ready@microsoft.com regarding it. I have sent my learn username,Fabric username and screenshot of completed Learn plans but because of some issue, it is not being shown on challenge page.

Hope to get a reply back and Fabric exam voucher code.

If required, I am ready to fill the voucher form again

Hope to get support in the regard.

I got a message saying my voucher cannot be sent without completing the ignite challenge and re-submitting my user details. 

I've definitely completed the ignite challenge and resubmitted my user details, but not received a free voucher yet. Can someone assist please?

thank you

Looks like you should have a voucher in your PMs.

How do we get a fabric trial to practice the activities included in microsoft learn if we only have a personal email account?

[d3m3tree]

For anyone who might also have this question you can:

• sign up or use azure
  • (free trial but requires a credit card unless you're a student with a .edu email or otherwise verifiable)
• then create a separate user name via entra ID which will generate an onmicrosoft.com domain name
  • (appends it to your email used to sign up -user@emailoutlook.onmicrosoft.com)
• which you can then use to get the free 60 day trial of fabric ...

YouTube can show you in detail if need be.

Hi here, finally, received voucher, regards.

[FabricPam]

Love to hear it! Good luck with the exam!

[AnnsHome]

I got the voucher an booked for an exam. What if i fail? Can I try the exam again with the same voucher code?

[FabricPam]

The voucher code is good for one exam -- and per the terms, you can only recieve one voucher.  Do your best to not fail -- there are lots of great resources for studying at http://aka.ms/Iamready/dp600prepare including a training session on December 13th. 

[AnnsHome]

Thanks @FabricPam . 

I passed the exam this saturday. 

Is there any more challenges and offers coming up in the future for Fabric? Where to look for it?

[SauravRajJoshi]

Hi,

I got the voucher for India as that was my current location and only way it accepted the final form when I was trying to do it from Nepal. AsI will be giving my exam from Nepal, will this be any issue? As I have used a different address(temporary) and number while registering in pearsons vue. By end of december I will be moving to Nepal and that's where I will give my exam from.

Would there be any issue on this? I already used the voucher and scheduled the exam for 26th December.

[FabricPam]

Please contact pearson vue to confirm your exam.  For other questions email fabric-ready@microsoft.com.

[bruno-labre]

I got the voucher, but the only test center in Medellín (where I'm currently living), the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, doesn't have any availability in December. How should I proceed?

[FabricPam]

Please email fabric-ready@microsoft.com.

[amay34]

Like mentioned by everyone, I have completed all the modules in the challenge and however the progress is stalled at 3 out of 11 modules completed. 
Got a message today saying I need to finish the challenge however it's already done.

[FabricPam]

@amay34 @Recompiler @danfer-habed and all -- email fabric-ready@microsoft.com with a screenshot of the completion email and they will get you set with a voucher.
