Subject: Delivering Microsoft AI Certifications in a 5-Month MOOC Format
Hi vk2, thanks for reaching out.
There is no absolute requirement that you deliver course training in successive days. TSPs can get creative with the cadence in which they are delivering training. If you want to extend an official MSFT course over weeks and months because it fits your business model, then you are empowered to do that.
I think the tricky part is labs. Labs have inherent cloud cost exposure which is why they are generally limited to quick durations. I know there is not currently a Microsoft solution for this. I would suggest working with your preferred Authorized Lab Hoster (ALH information is in our Get Started documentation), to see what options are available to you.
I’ve contacted all four Authorized Lab Hosters (ALHs) in the United States and received very positive responses from each of them. I’ll be having follow‑up meetings soon, and one provider in particular has shown strong willingness to accommodate our specific requirements. I’ll keep everyone posted. My thanks to the community members here — especially DanDonohue and JillArmourMicrosoft — for consistently guiding me to the right forums and providing valuable support.
Thanks
