Anyone register for the 40% off exam discount? I tried using the promo code and I'm getting a promo code not valid error. Tried entering it as a voucher too and same error. : /

I just tried and it works for me. I selected promo.

Knives Out

I just tried again, promotion not found.

I'm in Canada though, maybe its a US promo only..

dynamik

You used NAM40UP for the code? It worked fine for me.

Yep. I mean, it couldn't get easier than that, right?

"Promotion not found"

Bah, I'll just register for a second shot instead

nasu

I tried that and does not work for Canada.. sucks to live in Canada nothing works here as in the states.

Can I use the second shot and the 40% off?

HeroPsycho

I bet not. 99% of the time they're not "stackable".

Why don't y'all see if you have a local Community College that is considered a Microsoft IT Academies? Go sign-up for one class (even if it's a .5 credit you will be considered a part-time student) and get 50% off Microsoft test. I just bought 5 vouchers at $60 a piece.

Does the class have to be technology related?

The only restriction is you have to be a full-time or part-time student. If there is any other restriction then no one has told me.

FYI, it looks like today (3/13) is the final day for the 40% off offer - get signed up for your exam today using the discount code & take the exam by 5/31.

By the way, the info page about skills week says "NORTH AMERICA ONLY" - I would assume that the discount code shown on that page should work in US & Canada...especially the discount code letters imply that it is valid for North America. Maybe it was a temporary glitch earlier?

I really want to sign up for this, but I'm a little reluctant to do this. I just want to make sure that there isn't a catch. Since it's seems to be approved by the Dynamik one, I think it should be ok

So everyone that signs up for this gets free training AND 40% an exam?

dynamik

I actually never looked into the training, but I used the discount on for an exam. My luck, I'll fail and regret not using the second shot promo
