Microsoft Learning brings back their Second Shot offer

Microsoft Learning has announced the return of the Second Shot offer as part of their learning program special offers.

With the Second Shot exam or exam pack, you can save at least 15 percent on the cost of the single certification exams, and you’ll be able to retake any exam you don’t pass the first time, at no extra cost.

Using the Microsoft Certification Packs part of the program there is a cost savings of at least 15 percent on the cost of the exams and along with that savings you get one free retake for each exam you don’t pass the first time.

With the Second Shot offer, if you fail your exam the first time you take it, you may use the same voucher for your retake exam.
