    The rep I spoke to today and the girl at my exam center says sometimes you can only book upto two months in advance and their systems are probably getting updated. The girl said people should try next week and apparently all the test centers in Holland are available until 31st June

    Yeah, I sent them an email basically say they need to get their act together because they are pissing everyone off who wants to take the exams.

    You'll probably have to turn Prometric off and then back on again for them to pick up the change...

    I just got an email worded exactly the same apart fron the fact there was an apology :D

    I told them in my email that they were pissing everyone off and people find it difficult to believe that Microsoft trust them to host their exams :D

    Still no exams listed, I have chased this up, and I am going to every day until the exams are listed. I am getting worried as there are only 6 days left to book in march at my local test center. If they don't add these exams soon the whole of April will have gone!

    Ive been checking prometric everyday for the april dates to become available and getting worried due to not being able to have time of work in March if i needed to squeeze the exams in. Finally they have shown up this afternoon. Took them long enough!!! i will be looking to get my 70-271 booked at the beginning of April now.

    YES!!! I can also confirm there are dates up in April now at my local test centre only 5 miles away:biggrin

    Happy days, hopefully some of my pestering of MS and Prometric has paid off, lovely job I can now book 271 for April and 272 for May/June.

    Its all good,

    thanks to all for their input on this, still think someone at Prometric should get the sack:twisted:
