TechNet Plus Direct is the must-have online resource for the latest Microsoft updates, tools, and guidance. For a limited time, Exam Insurance gives you three ways to win. (1) To retake an exam if needed, (2)to get a discount if not, and (3) to receive free TechNet Plus Direct. In order to take advantage of this offer, you must:

  1. Register for this offer using the same E-mail address you use when you register to take the exam.
  2. Purchase Exam Insurance from any participating Microsoft Certified Partner for Learning Solutions.
  3. Schedule and take your exam by April 30, 2007.

# TechNet Plus Direct deal with exam insurance extended until April 30st, 2007.

Read more here about the deal. Basically, buy and use exam insurance, get a year subscription to TechNet Plus Direct, which retails for about $349. It is a steal if you are taking a Microsoft certification test soon.

I posted a comment to an older post, and don't mean to spam your blog, but I seem to be unable to purchase Exam Insurance and I really want to take advantage of this offer. Would you kindly tell me who I need to contact at Microsoft to work through the problems I've experienced with the "certified partners"? None of the ones listed on the exampartners.com page for North America/Ohio will sell Exam Insurance to me. Thanks!

Trika,

If I purchase Exam Insurance (I found a vendor willing) and write by April 30, but fail the exam (70-291 aka the beast) - would I still expect an activation code and link to TechNet Plus Direct?  Thanks, Ken.

# re: KEN I AM 99% SURE THE ANSWER IS YES

But i am checking because of that damn 1%, it always gets me.

Hey Ken

I failed my 70-290 in Jan 07 (1st wave of the Exam Insurance promotion and I still manage to get my free TechNet Plus Membership from Microsoft, so I would say the answer is "YES"

I register the program last December and take an exam in Jan 12. I did not get any email. Am I too late?
