MicrosoftUpdate on MCT Manual Enrollment Process
Training Services Partners, Existing and New Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs), and ISCPs
We know it’s been a long road—over a year of manual MCT enrollments—and we sincerely apologize for the delays. Currently, onboarding is booking several months out.
💡 Need to teach before your scheduled onboarding?
If it’s urgent, email mctprog@microsoft.com and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
⚠️ Please note: Escalation grants limited access—you’ll get into the MCT Lounge, Learning Download Center, and labs.
However, Visual Studio and discounted exams will only be available after full onboarding, which takes ~2 months from your onboarding date.
🔧 We do not yet have a timeline for when the automated enrollment tool will be restored, but we’ll keep you posted.
✅ In the meantime, please continue working with your ISCP to get onboarded as an MCT.
Thank you for your patience and continued dedication to the MCT program. 💙

Hello, my visualstudio subscription is deleted even if my MCT is renewed by the system.

We are having some delays with the VSS expiration, sorry about that.
Actively working on it so please keep checking. Hi konger
How about the renewal for the existing MCT. Most of us has been extended automatically to 1-Aug-2025 by the system. If the tool is not available before 1-Aug-2025, what should we do? Will our MCT certs be automatically extended to a later date or what else we can do?- konger
Check the date again. Everyone is extended to end of calendar year
Hi konger
I just checked, and yes The MCT expiration date has now been extended to the end of this year.However, for Visual Studio subscription, it still doesn't change. Should the Visual Studio subscription be extended also?
Much appreciated thanks!
Huge thanks to Sarah
