Absolutely! The bootcamp is hosted on the OpenLearning platform.

We recommend that you attend as many as possible to make the most out of the bootcamp, however, we understand that the timing of our scheduled live sessions might not be ideal for everyone. That’s why we record them all for you to play back on demand!

You can check the live session times under the “What to expect” section on the home page: https://www.tech-academy.com.au/deakin-home

Set up your certification profile here and edit your profile by selecting "Student" in the Job Title Field. This will activate additional Microsoft student discounts.

As the bootcamp itself takes place online, the exam will be online too. You will be required to book your own exam but we will provide instructions on how to do so. Pearson Vue, the exam provider, has a large range of exam dates and times available so you will definitely be able to find a time that suits you. Please note AM and PM as students have previously booked their exams for 12AM instead of 12PM.

You are required to schedule and take your exam before or on Sunday 3rd March 2024.

The passing score for all exams is 700 points out of 1000. When answering most multi-part questions, you’ll receive points for each correctly answered component. No points are deducted for incorrect answers.

For fundamental exams, the exam itself is about 60 minutes long. However, you will need to allocate an additional 30 minutes so that you have time to set yourself up, log in, review the instructions and go through the check-in process with the proctor.

The number of questions vary for each exam. You can expect between 35 - 50 questions of varying difficulty.

For most exams, you will have results within minutes of completing the exam. You’ll also get a report with your exam score and feedback on your performance. Your score report will be available in the Certifications tab of your Microsoft Learn profile within 24 hours - 48 hours.

You will have access to the bootcamp portal for at least a month post-bootcamp. The live session recordings are only available for 30 days post-session so make sure you download it if you would like an offline copy.

Fundamental certifications do not expire. Associate-level certifications, on the other hand, need to be renewed annually to ensure that tech professionals keep skills up-to-date with evolving technology.
