Lab Credits and First course
Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to learn how other colleges handle student access to Azure when offering introductory AI or cloud-based courses my goal is to teach Microsoft Azure AI fundamentals. My understanding is that each student is asked to pay individually for Azure access. This model won’t work well for our institution or our student population. I would also like more than 30 day trial of Azure to test out the materials. For those of you who teach AI, cloud computing, or Microsoft Learn for Educators courses, I’d really appreciate your insight: How does your college provide Azure access for students? Do you use institution-wide Azure credits or centrally fund Azure usage? Are there specific Microsoft AI courses (e.g., Microsoft Azure AI fundamentals) that your institution uses as their first one? Any details about processes would be extremely helpful. My goal is to offer hands-on AI learning without placing a financial burden on students, and I’m hoping to learn from your approaches. Thank you in advance for your guidance and experiences! Best regards, JoeUpcoming MSLE Community Call December 11!

creating a separate tab for a common table
My question from a few days ago disappeared and I cannot locate it. I have created an Excel financial spreadsheet for myself that amasses all monthly data from my checking, investments, and credit cards. There are about 20 tabs including each month, each major account and others. Each monthly and account spreadsheets are identical. I created a table that has 3 column of data: Payee, account, and category which, in theory, auto update each spreadsheet. The downside to what I currently have is that every sheet needs an updated table which doesn't always work out to be complete. What I'd prefer is to have a separate tab in the spreadsheet that every tab could reference. I saw this once and know it can be done but, of course, I cannot find it. So, the question is, how can I get each month to find the separate tab (call it Ref or anything else) and input the appropriate data into the sheets? The current formula I am using for assigning the info is: =XLOOKUP(H14,Q:Q,S:S). The column reference are currently being used are because that's where they fit on each monthly spreadsheet. The data example is in the last row of the spreadsheet. All help is appreciated. Steve Backman💡 Building Future-Ready Skills: ESGTS and Microsoft Certifications
Hello everyone! I’m a lecturer at the Escola Superior de Gestão e Tecnologia de Santarém (ESGTS) in Portugal, and I’d like to thank Microsoft for the great work they’re doing with the Microsoft Learn for Educators (MSLE) program. We first heard about it in February 2025, when we started our onboarding process. The program immediately caught our attention because it offers two complementary learning paths, Microsoft Certifications and Microsoft Applied Skills, both of which align perfectly with the courses our School already teaches in Computer Science. The flexibility of these learning paths, some longer (Certifications) and others shorter (Applied Skills), along with multilingual support and hands-on labs through the Skillable platform, without students or teachers needing to use their own Azure credits, were key reasons why we decided to adopt the program. We’ve also seen growing interest in the topics covered by Microsoft certifications such as AI, AZ, DP, MS, and SC, among others. We quickly began training and certifying our teaching staff using the vouchers provided through the MSLE program, with the goal of soon extending this training to our students as well: In addition to our academic training, our School’s strategy also focuses on developing students’ skills using official vendor content. This effort led to our first in-person MSLE training session — AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals — held on June 11 and 12, 2025.

Hello, Does anyone know what happened with the Microsoft Office specialist official courseware? A week ago, it was available on the instructor recourses page on Microsoft Learn, but right now I can't find it there. The OneDrive links aren't available too; it says that they have expired.
