Schedule through the certification page and Pearson VUE using a Learn profile with a legal name matching legal ID; a personal Microsoft account is recommended. Current policy permits at most two concurrently scheduled Pearson VUE Microsoft exams and appointments no more than 90 days ahead. Request any accommodations before scheduling. Appointment delivery options depend on provider availability. The renewal assessment is outside this initial route. No fixed initial application deadline is published in the examined current certification and registration pages; no deadline or unannounced start date is invented.
