Can I Transfer My ESI Certification to a Personal Email?

Make sure both your work and personal emails are added to the same Microsoft Learn profile. You can’t transfer certifications between profiles, but if you start with your work email for the ESI discount and later link it to a personal account, you can remove the work email after that.

You should definitely book your exam with your personal email first. When you apply the discount, you’ll need to enter your work email to link the accounts. This way, even if you change jobs later, all the exams you purchased will still be accessible through your personal account. So you’re covered no matter what!

It's best to register for Microsoft exams using your personal email. You can add your work email as a linked address. That way, when you leave your job, you can just remove the work email and keep all your certifications under your personal account. Microsoft actually recommends this setup, and you can verify it in their portal.
