I recently took two (AZ-104 and AZ-303) for work, and you can take them at home. You basically have to show the proctor your room. Can't have a hat on, phone near by, anyone walking around or by you....must stay in webcam the entire time. It's not that bad, as someone who has a hard time taking tests.

For anyone who want to know how to prepare for the certification, go to particular certification link, scroll down the page you will see "Two ways to prepare". Try the online- free option.

Yeah. That would be a real douchey thing to do. I would also like to add if you have a job and your employer is reimbursing you, no need to take advantage of this.

No just book the exam as normal. Voucher is applied during checkout and can only be used once.

I did not -- took 104 on 09/17.

What's interesting is that the link provided specifically states that you do, as well as identifying qualifiers as "furloughed or laid off". Initially (or from whatever link I used to access this offer), there was an additional qualifier stating those who were "financially impacted by COVID-19" were also eligible.

We took a pay cut early on so with those terms I was able to rightfully take the offer -- now... not so much?

These are exams for credentials for those working in the related fields, how useful it is depends on the context of the employer and employee.

I'd highly recommend looking at specific azure paths and choosing accordingly (based on interest, previous experience, etc.)

Clearly states there's a limited number at this price.
If your weren't laid off or furloughed, you're a real asshole taking this in front of someone who was.

How to start studying these exams?
Some college or tech school do I need to attend? Or can study by myself using some books at home?

I am working in a family business, but always thinking to change my career to another.
