I'm trying to schedule my AI-901: Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals exam (in-person)

Steps:

  1. Selected the exam from my Microsoft Learn profile and was redirected to Pearson VUE.
  2. entered address details. Redirected to Pearson Site and selected in-person exam.
  3. Reached the "Agree to Microsoft policies" page for AI-901 and accepted the Admission Policy.
  4. Immediately redirected to learn.microsoft.com/en-us/unexpected-error?s=ERROR with the message: "Unexpected error — We encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. If this issue continues, please contact site support."

This happens every time, consistently, across multiple attempts over several hours.

Already tried:

  • Retrying multiple times
  • Incognito/private browsing
  • A different browser
  • Contacted Pearson VUE chat support — confirmed my account is not blocked;

Has anyone else run into this same "Unexpected error" page specifically after accepting Microsoft's exam policies on Pearson VUE? Any idea if this is a known/active issue, or suggestions on how to get it resolved faster ?
