Hi @morganersery1, Thank you for the detailed update on the migration of GitHub Certification Exams to Microsoft Learn. The integration looks promising, and I appreciate the transparency during this transition. I have a few questions to better understand how this will affect current and prospective learners, especially students: Transition & Scheduling

Student Developer Pack Concerns

Hi @karadHub,
Voucher timeline: The student voucher is confirmed to return on September 30, and once active, it will remain available through the academic year. Students should plan to claim early, as quantities can be limited. Progress carryover: Unfortunately, PSI-based progress cannot be transferred, since the exam engines and tracking systems are different. Only completed PSI certifications remain visible inside GitHub Learn; partially completed attempts won't migrate. Certification visibility: All existing PSI-issued certifications stay in your GitHub Learn profile. New certifications earned via Pearson VUE will appear in your Microsoft Learn dashboard automatically — no manual sync required.
Exam syllabus: Core content generally remains unchanged. Microsoft Learn may improve question clarity, exam structure, or interface, but the skills measured for Foundations and Copilot remain aligned to GitHub’s original blueprint. Learning pathways: With GitHub feeding into Microsoft Learn, students gain access to integrated study paths, sandbox environments, and unified skill badges. The credentials remain distinct, but preparation resources are now more structured.
Eligibility: Requirements remain the same — a verified student status through the Student Developer Pack. Voucher limit: Each voucher is single-use and applies to one exam (Foundations or Copilot). Future years may bring separate vouchers, but the current offer is one per student. If you’re preparing for certification, exploring structured learning resources can help build foundational skills before attempting the exam. Platforms like iCert Global |

Hi morganersery1,, I have taken the GH-100 - GitHub Administration exam on July 18 and I can't locate any information about a result. I am just wondering if there is any place I can get any information on the grading progress or status? I don't see anything on my MS Learn, Github's profile and I haven't received any emails. I tried to open some support case but no luck so far. Thanks |

Hi Pienczyk, I've just scheduled in my GH-100 exam and saw that there is a note saying it's in beta and that you won't get the result until 8 weeks after the beta has concluded. There is only one call out to this I found on the learn site, I could not find any mention of when the beta will finish so no solid timeline on when we get the results.

The certificates are handled through Microsoft. You need to go to Microsoft learn to schedule the examination and access the learning path |

Will an Open Badge be issued upon completion of the certification? What if you want to take multiple exams or fail? Is there an alternative exam platform? Unlike other online exam platforms, this one does not appear to be "on demand"; instead, you have to book a time slot. |

Normally, when your application is denied, they send an email to the address you registered as a student. In that email, they explain the reason why your application was denied and what you need to correct in order to reapply. |

The voucher to redeem is no longer available at the moment, as all vouchers have already been redeemed, but in another post, some people contacted GitHub support and they said that probably this January they will release more vouchers for us. |

Update 9/30/2025
The student voucher for GitHub certifications returns to the Student Developer Pack Tuesday, Sept 30, at 1pm EST. We’re thrilled to be able to expand on our offer from last year. The voucher can now be used for either the Foundations exam OR the Copilot exam.
Note that GitHub has moved to a different system, Microsoft Learn and Pearson VUE in order to deliver the exams.
PLEASE READ FIRST:
How do you get your voucher?
The voucher is available to verified students as a part of the Student Developer Pack. If you are not already verified, you can do so via your GitHub profile settings. Please see this post for instructions. If you already have the Student Developer Pack, log into your GH account and navigate to the Pack page. Find the Certification offer tile and click on the link that says ‘Request your offer code link’.
A unique, one-time-use code will appear in the tile. COPY the voucher code. Example:
How do you redeem the voucher?
Follow the step by step instructions below!
If not, follow the steps below and create a Microsoft account.
All set.
Once redirected to the scheduling page, fill out your information on Account Management
Once you filled out all the information, click Save.
Good luck!
GitHub Team
