Access Microsoft Fabric software

[PrincessR]

Hello, 

I'm currently doing the microsoft fabric learning program, in the hopes of gaining the certificate at the end of the year. however, when i try to get the free trial for access; it requests a work email or a school email. i dont have a work email, and although i have a school email, my school isnt registered and i graduated this year, so im not in a place to ask them to register themselves. what are my next steps?

Hi @PrincessR,

AFAIK, current this exam seems not opened for the personal accounts. I'd like to suggest you to host the account to the organizations, then you can use organization account to join the exam.

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate your help, if I have to be honest I'm not sure what you mean by hosting to an organisation, and it seems I might not be able to understand at any point because I'm not the expected demographic. So I think I may give up on the exam and continue my learning process without any expectations.

HI @PrincessR,

I mean ask them to create a guest account to the organizations and use it to join the exam if this type of accounts can meets to the requirement. BTW, you can also tired to register a new O365 tenant and use its account to join the exam.

Sign up for Power BI with a new Microsoft 365 trial - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

To say it bluntly - you are not the target audience. They are looking for customers they can charge for the Fabric offerings.
