Here’s how it works: To get the free voucher for this test you will have to visit a testing location in person and ask about the “Virtualization Challenge.” The terms and conditions state that each voucher is good for 2 free attempts at the test. They will probably try to sell you a training class package but you are not obligated to purchase or attend them. Important Links:

Jump Start Class and Study Materials If you feel like you need some training before taking the test Microsoft is offering Jump Start classes for $99. Also in case you weren’t able to snag a free voucher the class automatically includes a test voucher (normally $150 by itself). Class dates are:

April 12, 2012, 10:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M., Pacific TimeMay 9, 2012, 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Pacific Time »Register here

  The 2 that did know about the virtualization challenge said that Microsoft gave out nationally (U.S.) 15,000 free vouchers and that all of the vouchers at their locations were already claimed. This means each center only had about 20 vouchers. That’s not very many vouchers, Microsoft must be cheaping out and trying to get people to take the $99 class. Although the $99 class is a great deal because it comes with a test voucher that is good for 2 attempts (assuming you complete it before May 31) bless you Comment Name * Email *
