Hi there
I was following the offer getting certificates for free. Sending the email with the needed information to the talent email account. But up to now I haven't got any voucher even after opening 2 support tickets.
There was just the answer that I should have got it. But there is nothing so far neither in my spam folder nor in any other.
Does someone know how to get this voucher?
thanks
regards
Stefan
Hi everyone,
Short version: give us a time and we'll be able to find an available slot for everyone who requests a voucher until April-15. We're expecting that this Monday, April 6 the problem will be fixed!
What's going on:
As the majority of companies, our Proctoring Service wasn't ready for a tsunami of virtual exams worldwide. They had to shut down all test centers and move every customer to the virtual exams and that had an impact as you can imagine.
We've been working with them to solve everyone's issues, and get more available slots, bear with us for a weekend more and we do expect to have everything alright this Monday end of the business day.
The positive side of the story is that they are hiring people while the rest of the world keeps dismissing.
Andrà Tutto Bene, it's the song of the moment, and trust that we'll make it happen to you all of you who request the voucher in the campaign limits, April 15th. Thank you for understanding!
@Stefan, just sent you an email with all the details about your request. Thank you for understanding!

Hi Ricardo
thank you so much for the explanation. Now I understand!
Hi, there's no more available remote schedule from today to May 31. Can we select June dates, is that valid for free exam?

I have the same question as Jan. Can we schedule a remote exam from June? or need support from OutSystem to register an exam until April 30?
I have the same issue like Jan, free voucher without available slot for online exam.
You can shedule until the end of July. Good Luck!

Hi Ricardo,
I have registered on 18th March 2020, but haven't receive the voucher code yet. Request you to look inot it.

Hi,
I received the voucher after a couple of days. They are probably very busy processing all these requests.
Hi Stefan,
Due to an overwhelming interest in the free exams, OutSystems has a huge backlog of requests. I've been told they're doing everything they can to work their way through, so you should receive an answer within some days.
Hi
my fully understanding but they told me that I should have already got it. But there is nothing. And this was already some days ago. And 1st of April the first period for getting it has already ended.
Stefan,
Don't worry. These are difficult times for everyone, so as Kilian said, the team is doing the best they can to reply to everybody in a timely manner.
We have brought this issue into attention to the OutSystems staff, so this should be sorted out in the meantime. I can't guarantee it's going to be in the next hour or the next day, but it will be.
Cheers!

Hi Stefan
Did you receive your voucher?
Same happened with I’ve sent the request mail on 31st March. I haven’t received it till now. Please help me with this if you have any solution.
Kushala.
I still haven‘t got any answer or email with a voucher or information about it although promised here. This is really disappointing and informed already German Outsystems sales guys.
I fully understand that Outsystems was overwhelmed by people asking for a voucher. But on the other side why do a lot of people already got the voucher after some days and I haven‘t got it after weeks?
It is disappointing!!
Stefan, can you please check your email server? I've sent you an email on March 30 and again on April 3rd as you can see in the image below.
I will send you a new email with a new voucher to see if arrives in 5 minutes maximum. Please check the spam. I'll also be sending a private message through the community with the same text as the email.
P.S. - New Email and Private message both sent. Please confirm you got it. Thanks and good luck with the exam!
Hello,
I am in the same situation as Stefan. I have already sent 2 emails asking for the free certification and haven't got any answer. The first email was sent 11 days ago and the second one 4 days ago.
I will appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Thanks,
Diogo Soares
Hi Diogo,
please check your email (include spam). your voucher was sent on April 11.
Thanks and Good Luck with that exam!

Hello everyone,
I'm sorry to hear that you are still facing difficulties with the exams. One of the things that happened to me was that the emails sent from OutSystems were not being received.
I'm not sure if this is the case but I've alerted OutSystems internally regarding this. Today is a holiday in Portugal, so I would suggest that you don't expect any answer until Monday.
Again, I'm sorry for the trouble and I appreciate your understanding of this tough situation, knowing that OutSystems will sort this out.
I also have a Case Open (Id#2323641) and is still pending. I haven't heard from OutSystems with any updates regarding the status of the Case since 30th March 2020.But now having read and understood the impact the Global Pandemic has had on all Business processes, it makes sense why things are taking a bit of time to move. please see screenshots below.What happened was:I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I believe my timezone is GMT +2.
While scheduling my Associates Mobile Exam, I selected a +2 code timezone - not GMT - with an 8AM time slot for Tuesday 31 March 2020.After receiving confirmation email, I logged on to the prometric.com site to check thee schedule details. The Exam details showed a start time of 01:00AM instead of the 08:00AM I booked for.With thanks.
Hi Thabiso,
you should have answer if not today then tomorrow. Sorry for taking so long to get your problem solved. The team has been working to solve everyone's issues.
Good luck with that exam!

Thank you very much guys!!!
The thread is long, so here's an update on it...
The team didn't stop during the weekend to get all the emails answered. We answered thousands and thousands of emails so far and we still have some pending emails to answer.
I do recommend to check your SPAM and also to ask your company support to check the spam server as we're getting several situations where our email is being blocked. Please check.
You can always PM me if you still haven´t received an answer to your request.
Good luck with those exams

A discussão é longa, então aqui está uma atualização ...
A equipe não parou durante o fim de semana para receber todos os e-mails respondidos. Até agora, respondemos milhares e milhares de e-mails e ainda temos alguns e-mails pendentes para responder.
Recomendo que você verifique seu SPAM e também solicite ao suporte da sua empresa que verifique o servidor de spam, pois estamos tendo várias situações em que nosso email está sendo bloqueado. Por favor, verifique.

Good afternoon.
Ricardo, I received the voucher but I can't schedule the test. Informs that there is no time available. Would it be possible to extend the tests to the August?
Tks.

Hi Queops,
please read this topic https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/59747/covid-19-free-certificate-offer-ended/
Thanks
PLEASE HELP ME! is there any possibility that I will have availibility for the certification? I've try every date in the calendar but I'd think it's full.. it's always 'no availability found' any suggestion from the community? thank you so much
Hi Patrick,
can you check latest staus in this topic please https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/59747/covid-19-free-certificate-offer-ended/

Please help me too. I have the same issue with Patrick. I have tried 2 timezones (MST & GMT+1) but there is no available slot till October 2020.
Does anyone know how long the voucher will remain valid?
Thank you for your response
Hi Patrick and Yinkus,
Did you read the link that Ricardo posted above? In that post he says "For those who got the voucher but couldn't schedule the exam, no worries about that (...), we're working to have more slots available so you can take the exam."
So the best course of action is to wait for now, the voucher will remain valid until you can take the exam.

Thanks for your reply, Kilian
You're welcome! The reason for the delays is that the proctor company is currently actively recruiting people to be able to schedule all the exams, and OutSystems depends on their effort.
It's interesting that in this uncertain time, someone (Proctor) is recuriting people. :D
Jokes apart, I got my vouchers just next day and I understood it has validity till Jun/Jul. OutSystems has extended the exam date criteria than what was earlier communicated.
Dates are extended now and 3.5K new slots are available now from June 1st onwards, go ahead and grab your seat

Hi Rex,
Dates to apply for the free certificate is gone. Last date to apply for the free certificate was Apr 15. The dates which i mentioned above 1st June onwards was to book slot for the exam
Sorry but currently outsystems not giving away free vouchers, will keep you posted once i get any update on free vouchers
As Swapnil wrote, it's no longer possible to register for the free exam. Ricardo's post above links to a post explaining it.
Even I did not get the voucher code yet, i had registered on 18 March 2020.
Hope Oustsytems team is looking at it.
