Default Best place for Microsoft exams?

Ello,

Where is the best place for booking Microsoft exams? Are the prometric places kosher? M$ charge about £130 each exam where as register.prometric.com have them for £88.

Thanks

I did some training courses some time ago with Azlan and they had a Prometric test centre in-house which I took those exams with.

When I was doing my Microsoft exams I went back there because it was the only place I knew about.

Nothing wrong with them at all. I passed and got all my certificates so it must be fine.

I paid £88 per exam. Look out for the free re-test codes as well. If you fail they'll allow you to re-take a test free.

Thanks very much, I've used Azlan before so know where they are. Seems £88 per exam is a good price then really, far better than Microsoft.

Prometric for me also, I've done all my microsoft exams there so far.

Just make sure that the centre you pick actually does the exam.
We've had several cases locally in Belfast that have resulted in staff having to travel to Dublin to sit the exam

I thought Prometric were now the sole provider for MS exams.

I've done all mine with them, don't forget you can get deals where you can register for a free second-shot.
