Hello Mark,
Appears that Microsoft has now changed the requirements for a trial to require a Work or School account to setup a Power Platform trial environment. This link shows the requirements to create a DEV environment in Microsoft 365 Developer Program: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/developer/plan.
In the past I was able to setup a free trial and the environment would be deleted after 30 days which suited the purposes of learning. If your employer will allow, ask if they can create a Trial environment and assign you permissions with your work account.
