How to check in for GH-300 exam

For an online GH-300 appointment, check in directly through your Microsoft Learn certification profile; you do not need to wait for an Outlook email link.

Check-in steps

1. Check-in is available 30 minutes before through 15 minutes after the scheduled appointment time.
2. Sign in to Microsoft Learn using the personal Microsoft account associated with your Microsoft Certification profile.
3. Select your profile picture → Profile.
4. In the profile navigation, select Certifications.
5. Find GH-300 under your upcoming appointments and select Go to the exam.
6. On the Pearson VUE page, select GH-300 under Purchased Online Exams.
7. Select Begin exam. This button starts the required self-check-in process.
8. Follow the prompts to install or launch the secure browser, photograph your ID and testing area, and connect with the greeter/proctor. ^1^

Microsoft also recommends signing in about 15 minutes early. ^2^

Before the appointment

On the same computer and internet connection you will use for the exam:

• Run the Pearson OnVUE system test again.
• Sign in to the computer with local administrator permissions.
• Stop unnecessary background processes and disable browser pop-up blocking.
• Have a current government-issued ID whose name exactly matches your Certification profile.
• Prepare a private room and clear the desk and surrounding testing area.
• Keep your phone nearby for check-in photos or contact from the proctor, but place it out of arm’s reach after check-in. ^1^

If Go to the exam does not appear, first confirm that you signed in with the same personal Microsoft account used to schedule GH-300. Try an InPrivate or Incognito browser if the Learn profile does not load correctly. If the exam fails to launch during the check-in window, use Pearson OnVUE Support live chat; if you cannot access the Learn appointment, open a Microsoft Credentials support case. ^1^

If GH-300 was booked at a physical test center, these online check-in steps do not apply; follow the appointment confirmation and report to the selected center instead. Microsoft exam scheduling supports either online delivery or a local test center, depending on availability. ^3^
