Request for PL-300 Certification Exam Voucher

Dear Microsoft Team,

I am currently working at IT Company. I recently completed the learning path for the PL-300: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst certification, and I'm eager to take the exam to validate my skills and knowledge in Power BI.

I understand that Microsoft occasionally offers free or discounted certification exam vouchers, and I would like to inquire about the availability of any such opportunities for the free PL-300 certification.

Given the importance of this certification to my career development, I'm exploring options to help cover the exam cost. I am committed to enhancing my proficiency in Power BI and contributing to the Microsoft community, and I believe achieving the PL-300 certification will be a significant step in this journey.

Please suggest a possible pathway to avail a free examination opportunity for the Pl-300, I would greatly appreciate your guidance and assistance in accessing them.Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and any information you can provide regarding free exam voucher availability.

Sincerely,

Shivshankar ***Removed***

Hi Shivshankar,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your interest in earning the PL-300 certification, and I know how significant it would be for you to add it to your credentials. Since you are looking for ways to cover the exam cost, allow me to provide you with information regarding discount offers.

You're right that Microsoft occasionally holds events or training that offer vouchers or discounts for certification exams. However, as of now, an ongoing event or offer that provides a discount for the PL-300 exam is unavailable.

However, if your IT Company is ESI-affiliated, you may avail yourself of a company discount by contacting the ESI Support Team for assistance; they usually reply within 3-5 business days. But I kindly suggest that you confirm this with your company administration or point of contact first before reaching out to ESI Support. It is also important to be advised that effective on March 01, 2023, the offered discount for ESI Learners was changed from 100% to 50% discount.

Meanwhile, if aside from your work you are also enrolled to a university, you may avail our Academic Discount (30% discount on Fundamentals Exams for all countries, while 45% on Role-based Exams except for India and China). You can refer to the Student Discounts page for steps on how to avail yourself of the discount if you are eligible.

Additionally, you may also visit the Microsoft Events Catalog and Microsoft Learn Blog for upcoming training, promotions, and announcements about possible PL-300 discount offers.

But, if you are interested in getting discount vouchers for other Power Platform exams in the meantime, you may also check out our ongoing Microsoft Cloud Skills Challenge | 30 Days to Learn It event that offers 50% discount for eligible exams. It is important to note that it doesn't offer a discount for the PL-300 exam. The only Power Platform exam that's currently catered by the event is the PL-100 exam.

I hope this helps, if you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to respond.

Otherwise, 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. If the resolution provided did not resolve the issue, please post a new question.
