We can’t access your Microsoft profile to schedule your exam

Hi!

I've seen this error pop up a few times in the community forums, but all answers seem to be personal or account-specific. I'm trying to schedule an exam, and everything works fine up until the scheduling itself:
We can’t access your Microsoft profile to schedule your exam. To resolve the issue, try these steps in this order and return to the exam page to schedule the exam:
  • Use Internet Explorer (version 9 or above) or Edge
  • Clear all cache and cookies
  • Use the InPrivate option in Internet Explorer or Edge
I have followed all recommended steps and also got in contact with Pearson VUE, which redirected me here.

How can I solve this issue?
Thanks!

Hello Quimey,

 

One of the workaround for this issue is to make sure to remove the occurrence of any non-English letters and replace them with Roman alphabets on your profile (e.g. name, address). Signs and symbols should also be removed from your profile as another workaround for these cases.

 

After doing the workaround, please try to schedule for your exam and let us know if it helped resolve the issue at hand.

 

If this doesn’t work, you may follow the steps provided below to eliminate any browser issue in scheduling an exam:

 

1.     Make sure that the browser you are using is updated or you may download the all new Microsoft Edge to confirm if this is a browser compatibility issue.

2.     Clear cookies and cache and allow all third party cookies through the browser settings.

3.     Visit the exam page and click on Schedule.  

4.     Sign in using your Microsoft account/Personal Email and password.

5.     On Your Dashboard, click on 'Edit your certification profile'.

6.     Enter your information. (note: Make sure to enter all information with red asterisk '*' sign).

7.     Click on Save and Continue.

 

You may also try clearing your browser’s network session by following the steps below:

 

1. Open your Microsoft Edge and go to https://www.microsoft.com/learning

2. Press F12 function key to open the developer tool window

3. Click “Network” tab

4. Click “Clear session” icon as shown in the image below:

 

 

 

5. Once done, you may try scheduling an exam again.

 

Meanwhile, if the issue persists, please send us a PSR (Problem Steps Recorder) which includes all troubleshooting steps performed until your reach an error message (if any). Through this, we will be able to diagnose a solution to your case.
