# Use a Voucher

> Find your voucher in your e-mails and enter it in the app to unlock your trainings and exams for free — step by step.

A **voucher** is a code that unlocks a set of trainings and mock exams **for free**. You get one,
for example, when you follow a training in person or in a hybrid format, or when your company
signs you up on the platform.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Do not mix up **voucher** and **coupon**. A coupon gives a discount on an order, in the cart —
> see [Buy a training or an exam](https://docs-strived.mintlify.site/student-guide/buy-a-training.md). A voucher gives you the content
> straight away: no cart, nothing to pay.

## Step 1 — Find your voucher in your e-mails

Your voucher is sent to you **by e-mail**, by StrivEd, with the subject **Your Voucher Details**.

The body of the voucher e-mail is written in **French**, whatever language you use in the app.
The screenshots below show it as you will receive it; the tables explain each part in English.

The 13-character code sits in the **CODE VOUCHER** box, with its expiry date
(*Valide jusqu'au* means "valid until").

![The top of the voucher e-mail, titled Votre Voucher Exclusif, with the CODE VOUCHER box](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/fr/voucher/01-email-code.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=4f9e74e6a47ec4b0bdec482ab40d22c1)

The voucher e-mail. The code is hidden on this screenshot.

> [!TIP]
>
> Cannot find the e-mail? Look in your **Spam** or **Junk** folder, then ask your instructor or
> your company to send it again.

***

## Step 2 — Check what it includes

Further down, the e-mail lists the trainings and exams the voucher unlocks:

![The Formations incluses and Examens inclus lists of the e-mail](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/fr/voucher/02-email-contenu.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=32f82e7978832d1fa7e702b65b2e4910)

The content the voucher unlocks.

Below that come the lock notice, the instructions and a button to the platform:

![The lock box, the Comment utiliser votre voucher steps and the Accéder à la Plateforme button](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/fr/voucher/03-email-mode-emploi.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=0cd4a101bb7e67f6a54636fd882c2096)

The voucher lock and its instructions. The address is hidden on this screenshot.

| In the e-mail (French) | What it means |
| :- | :- |
| **Formations incluses** | The trainings included. |
| **Examens inclus** | The mock exams included. |
| Red box *Ce voucher est verrouillé à l'adresse …* | The voucher is **locked** to this e-mail address: you must log in with that account. The box only appears on a locked voucher. |
| **Comment utiliser votre voucher** | How to use your voucher: the same steps as this guide. |
| **Video guide (EN)** / **Guide vidéo (FR)** | A video version of these steps, in English or in French. |
| **Accéder à la Plateforme** | Opens the platform. |

***

## Step 3 — Open the Apply voucher window

Log in with the e-mail address that received the voucher, then open the **Apply voucher** window:

* from the **Dashboard**: the **Apply voucher** button in the purple banner;
* or, while you do not own any training or exam yet, with the **Redeem voucher** button at the
  top of the screen.

***

## Step 4 — Enter the code

![The Apply voucher window with the code field and the Apply button](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7/images/student-guide/en/voucher/01-apply-voucher.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0bjBXtSjWLhCRwe7\&q=85\&s=54e585a6082abed90d0a9dc611fd62d1)

The Apply voucher window.

**1. Paste the code**

Copy the code from the e-mail and paste it into **Type your voucher code**. It must be exactly
13 characters long.

**2. Click Apply**

The message **Voucher has been applied successfully** confirms that your content is unlocked.

**3. Click Refresh this page**

The app updates with your new trainings and exams.

> [!TIP]
>
> Copy and paste rather than typing: by hand, the letters `l`, `I` and the digit `1` are easy to
> mix up.

## Step 5 — Find your trainings and exams

| Content | Where to find it |
| :- | :- |
| Trainings | **My Content → My Trainings** — see [Follow a training](https://docs-strived.mintlify.site/student-guide/study-a-training.md). |
| Mock exams | **My Content → My Exam Simulator** — see [Take a mock exam](https://docs-strived.mintlify.site/student-guide/take-a-mock-exam.md). |

## Good to know

> [accordion] The code is refused: what does the message mean?
>
> | Message | What to do |
> | :- | :- |
> | `Invalid voucher code.` | The code is wrong: copy it again from the e-mail. |
> | `Voucher is locked to …` | You are logged in with another account: log in again with the address that received the voucher. |
> | `Voucher has expired.` | The expiry date has passed: ask for a new voucher. |
> | `Voucher has already been used.` | The voucher has already been redeemed: it only works once. |
> | `Too many failed attempts…` | Three wrong codes in a row: wait a minute before trying again. |

> [accordion] I already own part of the content
>
> What you already own stays as it is: the voucher only adds the trainings and exams you are
> missing.

> [accordion] Can I give my voucher to someone else?
>
> No. A voucher only works once, and it is usually locked to the e-mail address that received
> it.
