**For Job Professionals**

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/f67ww7jntyczcuc9myjr.png)

All of these topic include those 8 certifiactions.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/7hkyxpkdapzv8xm5jzt7.png)

You just need to check events and their benefits. For example, lets check Azure one.


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/cjcw0zkft911vl4yv8b1.png)

These basically covers AZ-900, AI-900 and DP-900.

Lets check AI Fundamentals session.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/ca53td0aoosff3iby4io.png)

See! The AI-900 is free of cost if you attend the sesion.


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/y473d0josatbm75639yh.png)


Some sessions might be for 2 days. For example, Fundamentals for Azure.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/3asgstiyp70uhgut5twd.png)
You have to attend both of these days to get a voucher.

Assuming you attended those session. Now you have to wait for 3-5 days. You will get a mail that your account has got a voucher. 

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/fg8rbs3t59srclg9xf6w.png)



Note: They will not give your any voucher code.

If you go to schedule the exam for which you got the voucher, you can easily see that, you have a voucher there.



Assuming you have got the AI-900 voucher , you go to the Microsoft Certifications page and login. 

Then search this exam.

Then schedule with PearsonVue

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/5abzx9jdfqvtidcrd0ow.png)

So under this section , you will find the discount of 100% free exam .


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/3h7vgtzipqfvjiebc0rx.png)
Surely for this, your mail should be the same . That means you need to use the same mail for exam scheduling and event attendance.


Done!
