ERROR_VUE_WIDE_BLOCK is typically because your account has been blocked by Pearson Vue which normally happens because of multiple failed payments. You need to contact Pearson Vue support using the link on https://aka.ms/CertificationSupport to get the block lifted.

Contact Pearson VUE Support to investigate the GH-900 scheduling error, because Pearson VUE owns appointment and scheduling support for GitHub Certification exams.^1^

Submit the scheduling issue

  1. Open the Pearson VUE Support link under GitHub Certifications → For Exam appointment and scheduling issues on the Credentials support page.^1^
  2. Report that scheduling GH-900 displays:

    “We encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.”

  3. Attach the screenshot and provide:
    • The email address associated with your certification profile.
    • The approximate date and time of the failure.
    • The step where it occurs, such as after selecting Schedule exam or after submitting the transfer to Pearson VUE.
    • Details of any failed payment attempt. A similar case was resolved when Pearson VUE removed an account lock following a failed payment.^2^

Do not post your email address, candidate ID, payment details, or other personal information publicly in this Q&A thread.

Confirm that you are using the supported registration path

The standard process is:

  1. Open the GH-900 exam details page and select Schedule exam.
  2. Sign in to your Learn profile—Microsoft recommends using a personal Microsoft account.
  3. Ensure the legal name in the profile exactly matches your legal ID.
  4. Complete the requested address, telephone, and contact-email fields.
  5. Select Submit to continue to Pearson VUE and choose the appointment.^3^

Scheduling is limited to 90 days in advance, and no more than two Microsoft Certification exams can be scheduled concurrently through Pearson VUE.^3^

If Pearson VUE identifies a Microsoft Learn profile problem

Open a Credentials Support request:

  1. On the Credentials support page, select online support request.
  2. Choose:
    • Product family: Learning
    • Product or Service: Microsoft Credentials
    • Type of Support: Professional No Charge
    • Contact method: Email
  3. Include your Learn username, the screenshot, the error text, and the Pearson VUE case number.^1^

Credentials Support is the appropriate fallback for Learn-profile or legal-name problems; the scheduling appointment itself remains with Pearson VUE.
