Inquiry about Becoming a Microsoft Learning Partner (Authorized Training Center)
Hello Tech Community, Our organization, currently a Microsoft Legacy Silver partner with certified MCTs, is eager to transition into a Microsoft Learning Partner (MLP), an Authorized Training Cent...
Hello, Haneya!
You are correct that Learning Partners are now called "Training Service Partners", or TSPs. This was a change done over the course of 2023.
Great that you already have MCTs in your org, and also purchased the Learning Action Pack!
I believe you are referencing the documentation found here:
https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/asset/collection/get-started-solutions-partner-for-training-services-designation#/
You are actually already a TSP at this point, now you just need to start training!
(To confirm if your registration was successful, you can check for your action pack benefits. Also, you should now have a TSP dashboard in partner center.

For step 3, "Use Official Microsoft Courseware, Labs, and Exams", this means you will need to
1. Have MCTs download the slides from the Learning Download Center. Link can be found in the MCT Lounge.
2. Coordinate to have your labs provided by one of the 5 approved lab provider companies. I usually recommend people reference
https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/en-us/azure-pass-retirement-partner-faq.pdf
for the list of providers.
3. Create an achievement code. Steps in the documentation above.
If you have those above steps ready, then you can find learners and schedule the class in Metrics That Matter. To get credit as a TSP, remember you MUST have learners redeem achievement codes and fill out MTM surveys.
If you have more questions please reach out at anytime.
Good luck training!
