Many of my students cite high cost as the reason they don’t take Microsoft Certification Exams. But Microsoft finally has a deal for students that is too good to pass up and it will run through June 30, 2009.
The Microsoft Academic Second Shot program allows students to take any Microsoft academic exam for $60. And if they don’t pass it the first time, they can take it again for free. Both the initial test and any retakes have to be completed before June 30, 2009. To participate in this program, students must submit proof that they are “currently a registered full-time or part-time student enrolled in an accredited high school or post-secondary school (institute of higher learning)." Employees of high schools and post-secondary schools are also eligible.
The academic exams (code 072 exams) have the same content as the regular 070 series exams. They merely cost less. Your students need to apply to Microsoft who will mail them a voucher. So have them check out the Academic Second Shot program today and help them prove the value of their learning by obtaining Microsoft certification.
