QA Note: The link for the US is full/closed, but the other links in the OP still have open dates available. (note, the links are for CET timezone/different countries, but is in English)
And per the message on the registration pages: "Please note: this event will be delivered in English with closed captioning provided in English, Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Russian." So still seems to be options for most all still.

I have attended this training. It is not full day training. Max 3 hrs per day to cover both modules. Once you complete both days, you will get a exam voucher in a week of time. You may need to complete the full learning path worth of ~10 to 11 hrs to attend the exam. The training will give a intro to Azure cloud. Worth it.
I attended the webinar and got the az900 certification for free few months ago. If you have done anything in IT for more than an year or so, you won't find nothing the 2 days webinar session valuable. It says you will need to attend the full session to receive the voucher.

I attended the first day for the first hour or so, and just left the phone connected. Second day I forgot to join. A week later I received an email with the details about certification. I did not receive a Coupon Code in the email; it said to use the same email ID while registering for the exam. I did that. While selecting the exam it shows $99 (or $90?) but in the subsequent steps it drops to zero.

The exam is closed book. After you register, you will get a link to download a system check software and it will tell you whether your system is accepted or not. Then on the exam day, you login, someone will chat with you and ask you to show your ID and surroundings on Webcam. After the exam starts they are supposed to watch your screen and webcam, but I don't think it is practical from their side since I assume there should be 100s of ppl taking tests. Some of the questions on the exam were really dumb such as a question about whether phone tech support was available for a particular subscription level in Azure. Things which you will need to Google anyway in a practical world..
Any knowledge is valuable if for nothing more than being able to know what someone means when they're talking about it.

Is this worth taking as someone who is interested in cyber security but no work experience in the field?

Do you mean Microsoft 365 Fundamentals? O365 changed names. Also, I haven't heard of the training day offer being extended to MS-900. Nor do I know of any M365 Fundamentals free training days. Do you have a link?

Here's the cert info page, along with the free Microsoft Learn online course.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/...ndamentals

The training day promo can also be applied to the other 2 Azure Fundamental certs (Azure Data and Azure AI Fundamentals).
There's also a one-time $15 offer for some exams for people affected by COVID. No, it doesn't require any kind of verification. Honor system basically.

After completing this free training, you'll be eligible to take the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fundamentals certification exam at no cost.
