    Hi,

    Looking at doing the microsoft mcts exam 70-680. Am unemployed at the moment so was wondering is there any discounts available? I rang the exam centre, its 150, but often hear of people getting reduced rates? Thanks.

    Its usually possible to find a 15% code for most modules for starters. They're included in the official books usually and otherwise given out on technet from time to time and so on.

    If you're on the dole you can apply for a Technical Employment Support Grant which can cover exam fees for certs like this one. All I know is that it exists, I wouldn't really know how to apply or how easy it is to get. The course you want to do must not be already be available through a state funded training programme. As far as I know, FAS don't offer the 70-680 directly so it may well be eligible for this grant; although I don't know how they define 'state funded' in this instance.

    I'd suggest contacting FAS (or SOLAS, or whatever they call themselves these days) to see how you might go about this.
