I'd like to see Peace of Mind insurance return as well. I can't really afford to risk $750 on 1 attempt. I can risk the extra cost for 2 attempts. I get that the cost adds an air of exclusivity to the certification, but it's also a huge burden, especially for the many IT workers who are laid off and trying to upskill as they search for new employment.
There's the added perverse incentive that if I DO try the exam and fail, under the previous terms, even if POM returned, I wouldn't be able to buy it for 12 months. I'd have to put down another $750 for a single attempt. This just further discourages trying the exam.
Please bring back the Peace of Mind promotion. It would be an instant purchase for me.
