Questions? Reply below.
I just want some clarification regarding the free retake promotion. After opting in, I haven’t received any promo code in my email yet. Could you please let me know when the promo code will be sent?
Also, should we apply the promo code before scheduling and paying for the certification exam, or is the promo code only required if we fail the exam and need to schedule the free retake?
