How Second Shot works

For Microsoft Certification Packs: With each exam pack, you get one free retake for each exam you do not pass the first time. If you do not pass an exam in a Microsoft Certification Exam Pack, you must request a retake voucher at the Prometric website.

For single exams with Second Shot: If you fail your exam the first time you take it you may use the same voucher for your retake exam.

Note Prometric will provide a retake voucher through email within 72 hours. Each voucher pertains to a particular retake exam and cannot be used for other exams.

The Career Campaign is designed to help you pursue a new career in IT, move from one job role to another, or help you become indispensable in your existing role. The campaign also provides guidance and learning tracks (via Learning Plans), both online and through our Microsoft Certified Partners for Learning Solutions, that will map to a host of different IT professional and developer job roles.

To help you move through these Learning Plans, get certified quickly, and validate your IT professional or developer skills, we are offering Microsoft Certification Exam Packs. The exam pack offer includes large discounts and a Second Shot for every exam in the pack. This means that if you do not pass an exam on your first try, you get a second chance. We hope these offers will help you progress down a career track to either expand the breadth of knowledge and skills you already have or achieve competency for a specific job role.

A.

The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certifications provide the foundation for Microsoft Certification. These certifications are designed to help validate your skills on the features and functionality of key technologies. You can show your depth of knowledge in one specific technology, earn multiple MCTS certifications to show breadth across different products, or build on the MCTS to earn a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) certification or other Professional Series certifications.

The Professional Series certifications help validate that you have the comprehensive set of skills necessary to perform a particular job role (for example, desktop support technician, database administrator, enterprise messaging administrator, or developer). Some examples of Professional Series certifications include Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP), Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD), and Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA). These certifications build on the technical proficiency measured in the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certifications. Therefore, you will earn a Professional Series certification on your way to earning an MCITP certification.
