Hello with MAPS / LAPS retiring next year what is the process now to get LAPS ?
- Sep 05, 2024
Hi Donny, the Learning Action Pack (LAPs) is still available until January 21, 2025. After that point LAPs / MAPs will no longer be available. We suggest you explore the benefits package options that will remain including Partner Launch Benefits, Partner Success Core Benefits, and Partner Success Expanded Benefits. More information can be found in this blog update.
If you're referring to needing LAPs to stay in the Training Services Partner ecosystem, that is no longer a requirement. I've removed that requirement from our program documentation but perhaps did not make that clear on the last Community Call. Will address again on the September call.
You can consider LAPs optional at this point - it does provide far more value in licensing and Azure credit than the associated fee, so partners will still leverage while it is available. There is no current plan to have any of the new benefit packages be a prerequisite for future TSP ecosystem access.

So how do we get access to MOC etc as New Partner (registered this week). And in that case how do we get to working to be a TSP.
In summary how can we access the MOC and request for labs, etc.
Thank you!- Julian_SharpSep 20, 2024Learn ExpertThere is no MOC, all courseware is on Microsoft Learn
