# Microsoft Ignite | Cloud Skills Challenge

The Microsoft Learn Cloud Skills Challenge started October 12, 2022 at 4:00 PM UTC (16:00) and will end on November 9, 2022 at 4:00 PM UTC (16:00).

October has been a great month for many many things - Hacktoberfest, Microsoft Ignite, KubeCon, Inktober and so many great tech meetups and webinars to attend. 
I stumbled upon Microsoft Ignite Cloud Skill's Challenge. 

> By completing one challenge within the Microsoft Learn Cloud Skills Challenge, eligible individuals are entitled to one free Microsoft Certification exam. 

Amazing 🎊, isn't it?

You are free to complete as many challenges you like to, but you can only claim one offer per person, regardless of how many you complete.
