Below is additional information regarding Elevate America:

All training vouchers must be ACTIVATED on the Microsoft learning portal by October 31, 2009. Clients using the examination vouchers must complete testing at a Certiport Center by October 31, 2009. Lumity (a Certiport Center in Chicago) is offering FREE certification exams on the days and times listed below:
