15 x Listed as N/A
So, in the current KPI model, a TSP is only able to claim for the 64 exams / certifications. However, Microsoft also releases many courses that don’t have exams or a certification such as the 15 listed above, or now with the applied skills assessments, where there are already 20 of them, and I suppose we can anticipate more to be released.
If a TSP conducts training on everything other than the exams / certifications, does it achieve any KPIs? If not, what is the incentive from the TSP KPI achievement perspective to offer the courses? 54.7% of the total 99 courses available are then potentially not beneficial to TSPs in any way if KPIs can’t be earned from them.
I want to do conduct a Microsoft 365 Copilot course for a TSP in the next few weeks and I have identified so far that only these courses will count for redemption for an achievement code:
- MS-900
The TSP will only get half a credit for this.
There are also these courses:
- MS-012
- MS-4004
- MS-4006
But will the TSP get anything for these courses?
Hope some clarity can be provided the TSP is going in with regards to this

The team has shared this with me:
These courses will count as KPIs. Courses in duration 2 days or less will be .5KPI and 3 days or longer will be 1 full KPI. Applied Skills courses will not be capped at 300 KPI units like Fundamentals trainings.
