PSI - I was unable to log in and they just advised me to contact Microsoft

Hi Microsoft Team,


On the 3rd December 2021 I had logged in to take my exam MS100 with PSI and there were several problems with them.

I ended up not being able to log in and take the exam, paying again to get the certification for a second time. I am after a refund for my first attempt that I could never even log into.


Please see below my conversation with them:

Hello,

I have been trying calling your number (INTERNATIONAL COSTS!) and it does not put me through to anyone.

I have logged in for my MS-900 Examination today and EVERYTHING has gone wrong, I have been unable to sit for my examination, so I am please asking for help in the matter.

It seems the proctor didn't think my ID picture and run around the room was good enough. After SEVERAL minutes of very brief replies he asked me to try from another computer, so I wanted to use my laptop.

Now my option to access the exam has disappeared from my Certification Dashboard, so I am unable to connect from my second device.

Could someone please help me with this? And restart my exam so I can finally get to it????????

Thanks and looking forward to hearing back from you as soon possible.

Kind regards,
Deborah

Hello Deborah,


Thank you for your response.

If you're referring to the Jobseeker program exam discount for $15, that offer expired on December 31, 2021. This offer deal is only good until December 31, 2021 and cannot be extended. This is why your appointment for the next calendar year 2022 is no longer accessible.

On the other hand, you may want to take advantage of our ongoing offer which is a 100% discount exam by attending this Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Fundamentals event.

You may visit our Microsoft Virtual Training Days event for more information.

If this solves your problem, please indicate “Yes” to the question and the thread will automatically be closed and locked. In case we do not receive a response, the thread will be closed and locked after one business day. Please be advised that after the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through Private Messages. If the resolution provided did not resolve the issue, please post a new question.

Hello Deborah, 

Let me be of assistance since my colleague Ken_Bar is out for today. 

Thank you for patiently waiting. 

We raised your case with our Support Team for further assistance. Based on the review, the Global Skilling Initiative $15USD exam offer was launched as a limited one-time offer extended globally to all learners impacted by the COVID pandemic. 

Originally scheduled to expire in December 2020, this GSI offer was extended to ensure learners adjusting to the pandemic had an opportunity to take advantage of the discount.

 

The offer is retired as of Jan 1, 2022. All customers who scheduled their exam during the eligibility period have been assisted with issues related to their exam delivery and support cases are no longer being accepted. 

You may still take advantage of training and learning paths at Microsoft Learn, LinkedIn Learning and GitHub Learning Lab. 

You may also sign up for the Microsoft | 30 Days to Learn It event – where you can be eligible for 50 percent off the cost of a Microsoft Certification exam by completing your challenge within 30 days. See Terms and Conditions for eligibility details. Offer ends 30 June 2022. 

Thank you for understanding. 

If this solves your problem, please indicate “Yes” to the question and the thread will automatically be closed and locked. In case we do not receive a response, the thread will be closed and locked after one business day. Please be advised that after the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through Private Messages.
