Oracle Cloud Free Certifications FAQ
In February, we reduced the price of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) certification exams by more than 35% and made all related training content available for free. In March, we announced that the certification exams are available at no charge until May 15, 2020. Our goal is to give you the best possible learning and onboarding resources and help you build critical Oracle Cloud Infrastructure skills.
Since we made the announcement about free certification exams until May 15, we’ve received many questions about how to take advantage of this offer. In this post, I answer some of those frequently asked questions.
Which Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certification exams are included in this offer?
The following Oracle Cloud Infrastructure exams are available for free until May 15, 2020:
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations 2020 Associate (exam 1Z0-1085-20)
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer 2020 Associate (exam 1Z0-1084-20)
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Architect Associate (exam 1Z0-1072)
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Architect Professional (exam 1Z0-997)
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Cloud Operations Associate (exam 1Z0-1067)
How do I schedule a certification exam with the 100% discount?
Follow these steps to receive the 100% exam discount.
Step 1: Access the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Learning Path
The following Oracle Cloud Infrastructure learning paths are available to you at no charge:
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Operations Associate
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer Associate
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Associate
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Professional
After you access the page for the path you’re interested in, click the certification name in the Certification box. The following screenshot shows the page for the Foundations Associate certification.
Note: If you schedule an exam directly through the Pearson VUE website, you won’t receive this discount.
Step 2: Register for the Exam
-
If you have a Pearson VUE account, sign in as a returning user. If you don’t have a Pearson VUE account, click Create a web account and follow the instructions.
-
Select how you want to take the exam. For example, to take the exam online at home, select At a home or office. You can also run a precheck for your machine. Then, click Next.
Note that the exam number has an "-F" suffix. This suffix designates that the exam has a 100% discount until May 15. After May 15, no suffix will appear.
-
Agree to the Pearson VUE terms and conditions, and then click Next.
-
Verify the exam details, and then click Next. The discount will be applied when you check out.
-
Confirm your exam selection, and then click Next.
-
Choose an appointment slot for your exam. As the following screenshot shows, multiple slots are available on any given day. This example shows choosing the 12:30 PM slot for April 24 in the US Pacific time zone. After you select a slot, click Next.
-
In the cart, verify your information. Note that the 100% discount will be applied when you check out.
-
Click Proceed to Checkout. The total is USD 0.00 after applying the 100% discount.
That's it! Now you can take your free certification exam. Note that you must take the exam by May 15, 2020, to receive the discount.
Can I take these exams from home?
With many test centers closed around the globe, you can take these (and other) Oracle certification exams from home. Pearson VUE will assign you an online proctor for the exam. Learn more about taking the exam online.
Do I need to take the exam by May 15, 2020, to take advantage of the offer?
Yes, you need to schedule and take your exam by May 15, 2020, to receive the 100% discount.
Can I take multiple exams for free?
There is no limit to the number of different exams that you can take as part of this offer. Note that you have to schedule and take your exams by May 15, 2020.
Do you allow multiple attempts for the exams at no charge?
No, test takers are allowed only one attempt of each of the six certification exams for free as part of this offer. Learn more about the retake policy.
I’m experiencing online proctor issues with Pearson VUE. What should I do?
You might have to wait in a queue for the online proctor, or your environment might continue to hold and spin with no activity. At this time, Pearson VUE is experiencing increased demand for online proctors, and we recommend allowing extra time for your exam. If needed, you might have to reschedule to a later date.
My session ended abruptly. Can I reschedule a new appointment but still receive 100% discount?
Yes, if your session ends abruptly because of a technical issue, Pearson VUE will reinstate your discount and enable you to schedule a new appointment.

When I check out it does not apply the discount.
1. Please make sure you have login oracle.com
Sometimes you have been logout but you don't know.
This is why you can't get the free exams.
2. If you have taken once, you would be charged for retaking.
FYI.
For Foundations Associate, I have selected the 1Z0-1085-20-F (yes, the one with "F") in euro , but the discount is not applied for me...How to get that ?

Same issue with me. Credit card is Charge now I just canceled. Anyone can help me
To all that have problems with getting the free certification exam, there is a note that says:
Note: If you schedule an exam directly through the Pearson VUE website, you won’t receive this discount.
So you have to click on the certification link directly from the learning subscription to get the 100% discount.
Then it worked for me.
The discount is not applied for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate at the checkout.
Is there any discount code available for this?
Thanks!
Fantastic lessons!
I'll try the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations 2020 Associate (exam 1Z0-1085-20) on May 1st.
One thing which is not clear to me is: you say that it is not possible to retake the exam; however in the "Retake policy" section at "https://education.oracle.com/certification-program-guidelines#2_2" I read: "Candidates must wait 14 days before retaking a failed proctored exam. (Registration will be allowed on the 14th day)". Could you please clarify?
I am experiencing an issue on checkout as the discount is not being applied.

I have been unable to start/Launch the OCI Foundation 2 times. Last Monday I faced issue and same issue I faced today. Not sure where the problem is , so today even I went to a friends house for better connectivity but same problem. The online proctor also couldn't help me out, and now I have wasted my voucher for certification. Any support or similar issue faced. I was not able to go beyond the Welcome Screen.

Is this a system issue.
Disappointing.
Very frustrating, because after selecting an avaliable schedule, we have to go through 5 different pages, lots of loading time, to receive this error.
is there any limit on the no of slots available for taking exam?
It seems there is no slots available for scheduling the exam for:
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate
Please assist with an extension or other chances.
Thanks to Oracle for this kind gesture.
While trying to register for the exam, the fees section still shows €85 plus €16.15 estimated tax = €101.15.
How can this be resolved? Is there a special way to book for the exam?
Thanks for your response.
I recently joined as " Technical Analysit is Oracle on 23rd April my onboarding formalities & orientation session was completed on 28th april" I came to know Oracle is offering free access to online learning content and certifications for a broad array of users for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Autonomous Database.

Is it still real to schedule an exam?
I am trying to give the 1Z0-1072: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Architect Associate exam. Oracle announced that until May 15th, the exam fee will be waived. I am trying to schedule an exam today on PearsonVue but it is not waiving the exam fee of $150. Please provide me the voucher code. The first available exam right now is May 19th. For the F code there is no available date in May and beyond. Thanks
Thanks!
we are unable to schedule any Oracle Cloud Free Certification exam due to unavailability of exam time slot in IST hours ,
please let us know . is oracle is aware about this issue and planning to extend the free certification window .
Many thanks in advance .
While booking the slot it gives me below error -
1) Sometimes dates are not available
2) Sometimes date available but slot not available
3) Sometimes i can select the slot but while doing checkout it doesnot provide discount (F)
4) Sometimes i can select the slot however while confirming the order it says the date is not available.
Please suggest some help on this.
While one heads towards selecting an exam slot, it goes unavailable everytime.
I had invested in ~3.5 hours (during distinct timezones) for bookiung a slot, still couldn't book one.
Peasron chat support isn't responsive, hence called their tolled helpline in Hong Kong. Got billed for 30 mins of international call from India but got to hear that all slots are booked until 19th May and the available ones are the ones cancelled by others - while I am unable to book those either.
Sheer wastage of time and money, while Oracle/Pearson are getting user hits as many as they want.
Just wanted to inform you that I am facing 1 problem and have 2 other requests.
The Problem: Unable to schedule my exam. Please refer the details as below:
I am able to get the discount but unable to schedule my exam.
Most of the time Calendar does not show any available date or time slot to schedule the exam.
After few attempts it shows an available slot to select and proceed further.
Every time I reach to the last page to finally schedule the exam by clicking on "Submit Order" at following page:
https://wsr.pearsonvue.com/.../OrderConfirmPage/ORACLE...
It shows following error message:
"The appointment is no longer available. Please choose a different date or time."
Primarily, I have completed free course and tried to schedule exam for "Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate". After getting the above error frequently, I also experimented with other certifications.
Thus, I am unable to schedule exam for any of the free certifications available as of now mentioned in your post as following:
1. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate
2. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Operations Associate
3. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer Associate
4. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Associate
5. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Professional
I have been trying for last 3 days and have made the attempt to schedule the exam for almost 40-50 times at different day or night time.
Please consider following 2 requests:
1. In the free course for every section there seems to be a Skill Test Section which says "Score 80% or higher to pass". This section is unavailable as part of the free course. It says "Authorization Required, You must be a subscriber to access this content.". Due to which course completion remains approx 75%. If possible, please allow this section also for free.
2. If possible please extend the free time period (which is currently 15th May, 2020, to allow few more weeks) so that we can make use of the offer by going through the free course and exam in optimal way.
Thanks & Regards,
Shashank

1Z0-1085-20: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations 2020 Associate.
Though I am getting option to schedule before May 14, however looks like it is not free. Could you please help me to get a correct voucher.
Thanks.
Good Morning!
Could you please confirm me whether the free exam(1Z0-1085-20-F) option has taken out from the certification list. Because, I don't see the free exam. We can only see the paid certification.
May I know why please? Could you please explain/clarify me about this. Since it said, the exam is till may15th.
Thank you!
Please assist
It would be fair to inform what we have to expect, if it a voucher, if it will be cancelled the discount, if it will be extended.
I am not able to find the free courses from yesterday evening. My team mates are finding difficulty in scheduling the slots. Is there any change which happened ?
Thanks in advance.

I tried to register again and got the message: "You already registered your interest to this exam".
What should I do to register my exam date?
Thanks
please assist here.
I am not able to see or book the free OCI certification exam from Pearson. However, I have completed the course education classes from the oracle.com/education but when i click to book the exam, it redirects me to the pearson website and asks me to login. After I login It does not show any free exam with -f with the exam code.
I also called pearson it says you need to contact oracle. I called Oracle University at 1800 529 0165, It says go and log the ticket with oracle support but the oracle website is not allowing me to log the ticket also.
The above stuff was happening until yesterday.
But today, It redirects to https://learn.oracle.com/ols/register-cert?exam=1Z0-1072
and aks for some details like email/ work email / phone number, etc and asks to register but after clicking register, it gives error "Whoops!! you are already registered".
I have prepared really hard for this exam but I can't see any free option for this exam. I am really disappointed. Please suggest.
I am unable to scheduled the exam though, I have already cleared 2 certification and ready to take another once. I am trying for last few days. Your help will be highly appreciated.
please help to do this exame.

Please help me. All courses with -F are disappered. Maybe (if possible) you can send me a discount code as the auto discount does not apply.
I really appreciate this brilliant share of OCI technology with certification path. There is issue with slots and probably overload in Person portal. Well, sometimes it can be not predicted. We understand!
But please inform your partners / customers in official channel and instruct those what we can do. Everywhere on your official sites we can read about 100% discount, nowhere is information about restrictions.
This is huge neglect. We are waiting on positive update.
Have anyone heard anything from Oracle or Pearson so far? Is it a technical issue on the website, or the offer just ended?
I am not sure if people are getting individual responses or their message are just being ignore. I would like any feed back on the Oracle Autonomous Database exam 1Z0-931. I am not getting any discount at check out. Please assist. Thank you.

a scam by oracle!
I had issues booking the exam. I received a response back from the email group above stating please click on certification link and fill the form for pearsonvue they will be sending a free exam voucher in the future.
Is -F tests are still available? The link from the class doesn't lead to exam register.
Thanks

I have a issues with the free certification, I can't find "-F" suffix course in the Pearson website.
I was unable to get 100% discount for my certification
Would appreciate if communication from Oracle is put out on this.
After following step-by-step guide from the above blog by Rohit, it takes me to a screen where I have to register myself which states something like "Thank you for your interest in Oracle Training & Certification. Please Register your interest in taking this exam by filling out the form below".
What is the next step after this registration? Do I have to wait until I receive an email from Oracle regarding successfully registering for the interest? Or Should I directly go to the Oracle Pearson Vue Website and book the course (As highlighted by some of the candidates in the above comments, I can't see the term "-F" whilst I try to do that)?
Your reply would be highly appreciated.
Can you please help me ?
I am following the steps as mentioned for registering for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate & Architect Associate but the discount is not applied at the checkout.

From May 5th, 2020 it is impossible to schedule any exam with discount. The available exams are with full cost.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Cannot schedule the exams now.
I am unable to schedule any of the above certifications for free. It asks for payment at the checkout screen, and the total amount is not getting reduced to zero.
Its really a disappointment that after preparing the course for so long, when finally I was going to schedule the exam, I am unable to do so.
Need you attention and help here.
I am not getting the discount, even following the steps and also not getting the slot as well.
Please help.
Thanks
After clicking the link from the learning path, it opens a registration page instead of a sign in page where we can sign in an book an exam.
On the registration page, I am entering all the requested details and click on Register. Once clicked, nothing happens.
May I kindly request you to assist me with this please?
I am following the steps as mentioned for registering for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate but the discount is not applied at the checkout. It's still displaying as $95. What to do ?
quite honestly this whole exam thing seems to be a scam.
I had scheduled my exam, I had studied and had prepared on purpose a room getting rid of screens and anything which might disturb (I had even got my husband to leave for some hours).
I had/have run the tests on my laptop, everything was fine.
The exam day I have waited for more than an hour before being given a message saying there was a problem and to get in touch with PV in order to be given a feedback in 5 days. Obviosly I could not reschedule as well.
I take it for granted no dates will be available in 5 days (provided somebody actually gets in touch with me).
This period is tough enough for everybody, why playing People for a fool ?
very very disappointed
2- The Certification link at https://learn.oracle.com/ols/learning-path/manage-oci-operations-associate/35644/60972
takes you to a page with no option to book for exam.
3-you can only register your interest in the exam at
https://learn.oracle.com/ols/register-cert?exam=1Z0-1067.
4 - According to PearsonVue its a problem at Oracle end.
When I try to order exam using Oracle university link I have a message from the VUE side "Thank you for your interest in Oracle training and certification. Please register your interest in taking this exam by filling out the form below." I felt form and had another message "We will contact shortly" Kindly ask you to help with exam registration or extend exam time slot. Thank in advance.
Thanks for the opportunity. Unfortunately I am unable to find any of the 5 Exams with suffix of "-F". COuld you please advise the next steps to register for these exams for Free?
Thanks
Hello, carry out the process as indicated to take the exam and when you click on the first link,
https://learn.oracle.com/ols/register-cert?exam=1Z0-1085-20
request my information and a window that says:
"Thank you for your interest. We will get back to you shortly to to take the free exam."
But it has been two days and I have not received any email or confirmation to take the exam and when looking for the exam in person, it does not allow me to continue to schedule it because it indicates that the requested language is not present.
What I can do?
Thanks.
Anyone recently scheduled for examination. kindly advice.
I am unable to book date and time slot for "1Z0-1085-20-F" exam ? Is this free certification period over ? If pearson vue server is getting overburdened then please accommodate us in slots beyond 15th may and stop availing free registration or something by 15th may.
And Everytime it shows "Scheduling for this exam will begin in the future."
And if i Select "1Z0-1085-20", i am unable to claim that for Free.
please solve this.
Thank you
But when i am going for checkout it is showing 0% discount.
Can you please guide me the steps?
Unfortunately, after successully completing the check-in procedure, I have been waiting for 45 minutes before getting an error message reading “Hmm...something’s wrong”.
I filled-in a complaint form, and a few hours ago I received an email from PerasonVue saying that they had received my request to reschedule the exam.
However, as of today nothing has happened; my exam appears to be in the "expired" state, and I have no chanche to re-schedule it free of charge.
A similar experience also happened to a colleague of mine.
Has anyone of you faced a similar experience and sorted it out?
Thank you.
Some hours later
I clicked on the certifcication link but instead of taking me to Pearson site it is taking me to "https://learn.oracle.com/ols/register-cert?exam=1Z0-1085-20" and below is written:
"Thank you for your interest in Oracle training and certification. Please register your interest in taking this exam by filling out the form below."
And asks for some details and on submit says, will get back to you.
Did someone else also get this?
How to book free certification?

On May 9th,2020 I'm unable to book the certification 1Z0-1085-20-F : Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundation Associate which comes under free certifications offer till May 15th,2020. Please provide support. Thanks
When I am trying to register the slot, it is allowing to book the slot in the month of July. But the discount has been applied and I got a invoice of 0 INR only.
As per the blog it has mentioned the exam should be completed by May 15.
So Is the registration valid and I can take the exam at free of cost in the month of July as well.
Could you please confirm on this.
Thanks,
Ravi
I got the link to schedule the pearsonvue exam, but it have dates only after two month. I did schedule for exam at July. is that possible to reschedule before this month possible.
Once I try to schedule the exam, not getting any available appointment on or before 15th May. However, I got an appointment in the next month and applied the discount, I trust it will be valid since I booked before 15th. Please advise, thanks for your awesome course and thanks Oracle.
Regards
Raj

1Z0-1085-20F
I thought the certification was free until May 15 but I am trying since a week and I don’t see any discount. Are you going to share a discount coupon or extend. I did my preparation already.
Today on 10th May, I tried to book for a slot before 15th May buy could not find an open slot before 7th July. Therefore, I have booked for 13th July. I want to know if it still be free or I will have to pay.
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance.
The embedded link to “Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate” was working fine until last week, but now they are not accessible. Would you know if the link/course time has expired. I was about to complete the video courses and then go for the certification exam.
Thanks
I am unable to find any slots for May both for the Test Centre and At Home Test Options. I think I followed the steps exactly as listed including navigating to the Pearson Vue Site from the Oracle Learning Page. Hope you are able to assist.
Thank you,
Hari
Very frustrating, because after selecting an avaliable schedule, we have to go through 5 different pages, lots of loading time, to receive this error.
Every time I proceed to checkout and submit the order, it returns: 'The appointment is no longer available. Please choose a different date or time'
Very frustrating, because after selecting an avaliable schedule, we have to go through 5 different pages, lots of loading time, to receive this error.After all these weeks of dedication on OCI, It feels heartbroken.
On May 09th I got a reply from Oracle saying that the new exam slots are made available due to increase in demand.
I was so happy seeing this and immediately went to book the exam slots, guess what happened?, there was not a single slot available to reserve.
Fully disappointed.
If anyone from Oracle looking at this, I request you to make this impossible possible.
Sincerely,
Shravan

i have booked my OCI foundation exam and according to the policy my name should be match with my ID, here is a problem i filled the space of surname during registration but on the government provided ID, i don't have surname.
so can anyone tell me ho can i delete my surname from the Pearson VUE account.
i can not see any slot available for Oracle Cloud Free Certifications within 15 May,2020 as posted in the blogs.
Will you increase the addition slot in May or June month for Free Certifications.

There's this problem of mine that there are no slots available for taking up Oracle cloud infrastructure foundation associate exam in both May and June. Will i be able to get this free certification if I book a slot in july as it's written above that all registrations and exams must be completed by 15th May.
Can we still get an opportunity?
There are no dates available anymore.
I have registered for the exam at no cost after 15th May as it was showing *no available slots* for both May and June. I wanted to ask if I will be able to give the exam in July on the scheduled date free of cost or do I need to pay for that?
I have booked for the exam!
Now the exam booking is working but unfortunately the booking date is extended till July.
Yes, you need to schedule and take your exam by May 15, 2020, to receive the 100% discount.
WHAT HAPPPENS IF THE FIRST AVAILABLE DATE FOR EXAMINATION IS FOR JULY ?
CAN WE QUALIFY FOR A FREE EXAMINATION ALSO ??
