Udemy Certification Exam Vouchers
Save ~10% on CompTIA, AWS & Microsoft Exams

A voucher is a prepaid exam seat. You buy it on Udemy for roughly 10% less than the retail exam fee, receive a voucher code in My learning → Certifications, then enter that code at checkout when you schedule the exam on the provider's site — Pearson VUE for AWS and Microsoft, CompTIA's scheduler for CompTIA. Exams can be taken online with a proctor or in person at a test center.

Udemy guarantees savings versus booking direct — typically around 10%. That means roughly $35–$40 off a $404 Security+ exam, ~$25 off each $253 A+ core, $10 off a $100 AWS Cloud Practitioner exam, $30 off a $300 AWS Professional exam, and ~$16 off a $165 Microsoft exam. The bigger saving comes from pairing the voucher with a discounted prep course instead of paying full price for training.

Both are retake safety nets that must be bought together with the voucher — never separately. Second Chance (AWS and most CompTIA exams): if you fail, report it from My learning → Certifications within 9 months and Udemy verifies your result, then issues a brand-new voucher code, usually within 7 days. Retake Assurance (Microsoft and select exams): if you fail, you re-sit the exam under the provider's exam policies using the same arrangement. Each covers exactly one extra attempt, neither is refundable, and neither applies if you pass on the first try.

No. Udemy coupons and site-wide promo codes never apply to exam voucher purchases — this is stated on every Udemy voucher page. However, Udemy credits (earned from refunds or promotions) can be applied to vouchers, and coupons do apply to the prep courses themselves. The cheapest overall path is a coupon-discounted prep course plus the voucher.

At least 9 months from the date of purchase, including any Second Chance or retake coverage. Vouchers, Second Chance, and Retake Assurance are non-refundable and non-transferable, valid only in the country of purchase, and an expired voucher's value is forfeited. Schedule your exam early and confirm the exact expiry shown at checkout.

Complete beginners: CompTIA Tech+ or A+, AWS Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02, or Microsoft AZ-900 — all foundational with no prerequisites. Aspiring cloud engineers: AWS Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 or Microsoft AZ-104. Aspiring security analysts: CompTIA Security+ SY0-701, then CySA+. Each provider page below lists exams in recommended order.

Udemy does not handle scheduling — all booking, rescheduling, ID checks, and technical issues go through the exam provider (Pearson VUE or CompTIA). After purchase, copy your code from My learning → Certifications and paste it in the payment step on the provider's scheduling site. If a code will not apply, verify you are booking the exact exam and country the voucher covers, then contact the provider's support.

Voucher stock is limited and popular exams sell out. Udemy advises checking back regularly — vouchers can also surface inside eligible prep courses under the Overview tab. Use any waiting time to finish the prep course and practice exams so you are ready the moment stock returns.
