Pearson VUE or Certiport

r9 · Apr 14, 2018

I'm looking to take of the Microsoft certs and I can see that you can buy the exam voucher via Pearson or Certiport.
Certiport being much cheaper $79 with retake Pearson is $129 w/o retake.
And it says Certiport is owned by Pearson VUE.
Can anyone tell me what is the difference ?

I've used pearsonvue before for comptia certs.
When I tried to schedule the exam from the microsoft site it gives both options but recommends Certiport if you are a student.
Just googling to buy the exam voucher takes you to the Certiport and it doesn't say anything about being is school, you can just buy it.
And on the Certiport website it says Pearsonvue business.
Certiport looks too good to be true. And in my experience it's provable what end up being.
There has to be a catch.
