I've been trying to register for the az-900 exam via personvue but I can't access the site, It only worked when I used a VPN and VPNs aren't allowed during the exams

    AZ-900 can be scheduled either as an online proctored exam or at a local test center. VPNs are not allowed during the exam, so registration and testing should be done without a VPN.

    To register for AZ-900 from Nigeria without relying on a VPN:

    1. Go to the AZ-900 exam page and use the Schedule button, which redirects to the exam delivery provider (typically Pearson VUE), as described in the registration steps.
    2. Sign in or create a Microsoft Learn profile when prompted. Use a personal Microsoft account and ensure the legal name in the profile matches the name on the government-issued ID.
    3. Complete the required address, phone number, and contact email information. This is collected for Pearson VUE and is not stored by Microsoft.
    4. After submitting, continue scheduling on Pearson VUE: choose either an online proctored exam or a local test center, depending on availability in Nigeria.

    If Pearson VUE’s site is not accessible from the current network without a VPN, try:

    • A different network (home vs. office, or a different ISP).
    • A different device or browser, clearing cookies and cache.
    • Contacting Microsoft Certification Support or Pearson VUE support (via the links on the Microsoft Certification Support page) to report regional access issues and get assistance scheduling.

    If online proctored delivery is not available in the region (no online option appears), schedule the exam at a local test center instead. Test centers avoid the need to configure a personal computer and network for OnVUE.

    Before choosing an online proctored exam, ensure:

    1. The system passes the required system test on the same computer and network that will be used for the exam.
    2. The environment and ID meet the online exam requirements.

    If the system test fails or the network is unreliable, taking the exam at a test center is recommended.
