Which exams can I take?

What if the Microsoft Certification I want has prerequisites?
There are no prerequisites to taking an exam. However, to achieve the Microsoft Certification, you must first achieve the prerequisites. If you take and pass the expert exam before the other prerequisite, then you won’t achieve the Microsoft Certification until you meet all the requirements of that Microsoft Certification.
I received the email with my free Microsoft Certification exam and cannot see the offer under my account.
Please make sure you are entering the same email address in the Certification Portal where you received the confirmation email and that you are attempting to redeem against a certification listed in the official rules.

I finished my challenge and it’s after June 30th, but I never received an email with the free Microsoft Certification exam details.
First go to your challenge and confirm it shows a fraction that equals 100% (i.e. 10/10 or 15/15). Then go into your Microsoft Learn profile and confirm which email address for notifications you have saved. Then try checking your junk folder. If you still cannot find the email, please contact Cloud Skills Challenge support.
How do I reschedule or change an exam I have already scheduled?
