Microsoft will be adjusting their pricing on their certification exams. For those in the US, the Fundamentals will be $99 and the Advanced Role Based will be $165. They are crediting the recent market conditions as the reasoning for the pricing change. You can check the post for more information and what the pricing may be in your region.
Remember, if the price is going up where you are at, you can schedule an exam before October 31st at the lower price if needed and reschedule it to a later date to keep that price available. This is a good way to save money if you’re planning on taking an exam soon but not before the end of October.
If you’re planning to take a Microsoft Certification exam, you can register for and take the exam at the current price until October 31, 2024. If you register to take the exam on or after November 1, 2024, you’ll pay the updated price. Remember, in many countries and regions, the retail price is not changing and might even be decreasing. For more information on how to register and pay for your exam, go to the Microsoft Certification exam policies and FAQs.
