Dear community,

Based on the GitHub Education Newsletter, students receive a free voucher for the Foundations exam. However, on the certification website, a price is displayed after logging in with my student account. Do you have any suggestion how I can redeem the voucher at no cost?

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the GitHub Community, @Epi17, we're happy you're here! You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question(s) in the applicable category and are explicit about what your project entails--giving a few more details might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

Hi everbody,
I am interested in the answer as well. I have access to the Student Developer Pack, but the content regarding the Certification is just linked to the Microsoft Learning Portal and does not mention the included free certification voucher. On the Github Edutcation page there is also no hint regarding on where or how to redeem the voucher.
Is this board managed by someone from Github who might be able to clarify?
Best regards,
Oliver

Hi @Epi17,

For verified students with the Student Developer Pack, the voucher should be applied automatically during the checkout.

If you can't see the voucher prompt as in the screenshot above, log out and use the browser in incognito mode.

What about the new pearson vue?

Hello everyone, I would like to know if it is still possible to get a voucher for free access to the GitHub certification exam. I am just an enthusiastic student of the GitHub platform, but for us Brazilians, the price of 50 dollars ends up being unfeasible.
