    Is this one of the deals where the exam is free but the cert itself still costs?

    • thefunkygibbon on 14/03/2024 - 15:08

      No, if the exam is all that is needed to complete a certification then you get the certification.

    Do we pass if we use AI to complete the certification?

    • FitLineSale on 14/03/2024 - 15:53

      Dont think you can use AI in exam :)

      That would be interesting because AI will know answers of all the questions about AI, asked by AI, to earn a certification in AI. Too much Ai Ai Ai….

        And you inadvertently set off ww3. The battle for AI supremacy. SKYNET lives.

      • hamwhisperer on 15/03/2024 - 01:34

        It's giving me a very windows xp vibe. (Any old people here, every damn app that came out for xp crammed the term xp into the title for a while)..

      Yo dawg… i hear you like to use AI so i used AI to pass an exam about AI.

    • Jonzay on 15/03/2024 - 04:55

      I know you're being facetious, but good luck, the exam conditions are actually quite strict, even when done from home. You are actively watched and listened to the entire time by an actual human.

      You better hope you have a silent household - the Ts & Cs state that if they even hear background noise, it is grounds for instant disqualification with no free retake.

      That having been said, if you jump through the hoops, it's a nice way to pick up exams for free, and the yearly renewal exams for non-fundamentals are also free (and essentially unsupervised multiple choice) if done in time

    Wow, Microsoft really hates wunderkinds.

    You must be older than 14 years of age to participate in the Microsoft Learn Cloud Skills Challenge.
    If Microsoft determines that you are not the minimum age, you will not be entitled to a free Microsoft certification exam and Microsoft reserves the right to legal action against you.

    • Alley Cat on 14/03/2024 - 16:50

      Huh I wonder what’s behind it. 14 yo don’t have enough money to pay for whatever later on? Or the materials are not pg-13 proof? Technically they would also be anctioning against a minor, hard to make it stick anyway.

      • Fysh on 19/04/2024 - 17:26

        It's probably to do with data gathering laws on 13 yos or younger in some countries.

    • monky on 14/03/2024 - 19:06

      Alternative perspective: Kids under 14 should be outside chucking ball and throwing stick.

      • CauseNEffect on 14/03/2024 - 20:01

        They're kids not dogs.. or monkeys.

      • pharkurnell on 15/03/2024 - 11:15

        Thats a different look….
        Went back to my home town recently, drove round a few times, didnt see one kid outside riding a bike, or kickin a footy at all.. infact dont see any of that round my current place either.
        Guess Xbox/PS doesnt work outside

      Most likely due to COPPA regulations.

      I'd guess kids "hacking away" as nerds at that age are messing with Linux or VPS or something.

      Microsoft is old people and business stuff or gamers, fun to fiddle with doesn't seem ms to me.

      (I'm old, I run windows)

      • bazingaa on 15/03/2024 - 09:23

        (I'm old, I run windows)

        when I was around that age I only used Linux (Good old Redhat and Mandrake), but now I use Win10 lol

          Ah memories of my tafe days.

          Oh and debian.

  • Wonderfool on 14/03/2024 - 17:17

    Can someone please advise what is a beginner's one to take? For someone who can only prompt chatgpt and stable diffusion for responses and never really learned data beyond the basic SQL queries.

    Just fyi , I did a challenge before , the discount was never received (in fact I got an email with the template but the discount was blank ) after several backward and forward with the ms team in the ms forum I just gave up.

    I guess what in saying is , do the challenge only if you think it is valuable on its own , don't do it just for the exam

    • Raj09 on 15/03/2024 - 23:18

      Double check your emails. I did more than 5 certifications through this and never paid a cent. I am going to try this one too. Thanks OP

    Gaining AI skills can increase wages by an average of 21%.

    Bus drivers will be happy to hear that.

    • CodeXD on 15/03/2024 - 11:33

      Lollipop workers will have a field day!

      • xoom on 15/03/2024 - 15:34

        The gardener and cleaning crew for my strata was over the moon upon hearing this news.

        They can't wait to learn this "AI"

    I just signed up for "Microsoft Learn AI Skills Challenge: Build next generation apps with Azure OpenAI" and it looks like I need a company Azure subscription to do the practical.
    Is anyone able to work around this by using personal account?

    So far, Azure AI Fundamentals seems to be an ad for Microsoft Azure and their apps.
