So you took the training and now want to take the exam.

Exams cost money, so you may be searching the internet for a nice discount :-) . I know I do, for most things I buy that really pays off (or it pays back).

There is no need to search for the best deal, just ask your Microsoft Certified Trainer!

We just (re)launched a program that enables your MCT to offer you exam discount vouchers. Discounts may vary by country and are usually 10 or 20% off of the regular exam price in your country.

Oh, if you’re thinking of taking a practice test, these vouchers also give you a 40% discount on any MeasureUp 60 Day Online Practice Test. During those 60 days, you can take those practice tests as often as you like. Did you know that in the ‘Learning Locker’ on MeasureUp’s web site, you can see your score report from each time you took the practice test and drill down to the questions you missed to see your progress?

For exams on IT PRO, Developer or Dynamics courses, we have no better deal in market; your MCT offers the best discount today.

Ask your MCT for a discount voucher. As I said, we just re-launched the program and in case your MCT has not heard of the program, please point out www.mctrewards.net. That’s right, it’s called ‘MCT Rewards’ as here everybody wins; you get a discount while your MCT earns points and thereby can earn free access to some of our key learning products.

See below what these discount vouchers look like. In case you’re wondering; yes that is a real voucher and the code will work (but only once: only for the first one of you to use it :-) ). Enjoy, I hope you pass your exam!

P.S.: Yes, these vouchers are valid for the Second Shot offer, but please note Second Shot will be in market until June 30th 2009. After that, the vouchers will still offer a discount but on  ‘single shot’ exams only.

    I would prefer to see 100% vouchers for shiping of certs. Are there any plans for it?
  • Tjeerd Veninga
    We don't plan to do so. While we offer the option to order printed certificates we do not intend to offer vouchers that would encourage high volume usage of this option.
  • jw
    so how do I get me one of those MCTs?
  • Tjeerd Veninga
    If you take training at our Certified Partners for Learning Solutions, your trainer will be an MCT. I would not settle for anything less than a certified trainer, but that's just me :-)

    To find our partners for learning solutions and to get trained by an MCT, please look here: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/classlocator/
  • Ricardo Santos
    Tjeerd, I can see your voucher is US only. Does that mean that MCTs can only issue vouchers valid on their contry of operation?
  • Tjeerd Veninga
    yes, but the program runs worldwide, so your MCT will have a voucher that is valid in your country! Discounts will vary from 10-20% :-)

    I don't know what others have to say about this but I have not have a good experience with the center where we go for training. In the past, I have seen offers for free software after completing a course and when we asked for the software there was a GOTCHA! On top of that, the sales rep. who calls me periodically when I have not sent anyone for training, doesn't return my calls when I want something from him. Ok, ok, We should use another company but you know how hard it is to get approval to change the "official" training place...

    Hello Tjeerd,

    I tried signing up on MCTrewards.net but it said it didn't have my MCP number in their system.

    Please advised how I get this changed.

    So unfortunately I can't request any vouchers.

    Vivian.

    "Your voucher is valid in the following country: UNITED STATES"

    I appreciate the offer but do not qualify because of my country. Any plans for a discount for Canadian Partners?
  • bob
    Are you an idiot? Did you even read the entire article. The vouchers are being offered worldwide in all countries. Just ask your MCT for one.
  • dougbonathan
    Hey Bob, just wanted to say thanks. received an email and this was my first time on the site. although i did read the entire article i had some questions and wasn't sure how to get them answered. so as a new comer i find your enthusiasm quite inspiring. glad you are not a reflection of all the users on this site as joanne_lin actually provided some useful information. thank you joanne_lin.
