Many of you will have received free certification exam vouchers for the MCP exams at the Visual Studio 2005 launch before Christmas.

The new exams related to the 2005 wave of technology are coming out in the middle of this year. If you want to know more about the new exams, check out what tools are available today (there are still free e-learning courses available for VS2005 and SQLServer2005 then check out the MS Learning pages for SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.

Now - I'm sure you're all sure to get them first time round... but, just in case you want to cover all your bets, then do take advantage of this great second chance offer that has just come out!

The offer is only available till June 30th. It means you have to register and take your first exam (perhaps with your free voucher) between now and the end of June, then you get a free go up until July 31st! If you have any other questions, check out the pretty comprehensive FAQ up on the website.

And I should also have mentioned that this offer is available for all Microsoft Certification Exams, not just the new ones coming out for VS 05.
