Subject: Delivering Microsoft AI Certifications in a 5-Month MOOC Format
Hi, As an active MCT and Training Services Partner (TSP), we are looking to expand our delivery beyond standard 5-day intensives like AI-102 Certifications. With the latest Microsoft AI certifications for business and tech professionals, we aim to offer a 5-month, long-form MOOC curriculum directly via our TSP portal (similar to the Microsoft AI & ML Engineering Professional Certificate model). We are seeking the correct contact within Microsoft Worldwide Learning to discuss a partnership for TSPs to deliver these extended 'Professional Certificate' programs and the licensing required for multi-month, modular learning formats. We believe this paced approach is key for students to truly master AI. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, vk2FY26 TSP Community Call Thread
We'll use this thread to post updates for TSP Community Calls, including calendar invites to upcoming calls and links to post-call decks and recordings. Please note: the folder linked after each call is a temporary repository while we wait to get the deck and recording uploaded to the Learning Resources site. These links expire after each subsequent call. Instead, you can find the last 12 months of call decks and recordings in our Community Call collection.AZ-900 - Correct Lab Usage?
Hello, The Courseware Title Plan Courseware Title Plan | Microsoft Community Hub lists Microsoft Learn as the correct source for labs for AZ-900. However, as some of us know, it was unceremoniously cut. What is the correct method for labs for this class now? Also my followup question which I feel like I have asked before but get a new answer each time- Can a TSP/MCT decide they dont want to use labs because it costs money? Or if a lab is listed in the title plan, are they expected to use it to be KPI eligible?
TSP Courseware Completions not populating in Partner Center
Hi DanDonohue We are seeing an issue with TSP qualification data in Partner Center. Courseware Completions are not populating. Exam unit purchases and average response score are reflecting correctly. However, Courseware Completions remain at 0/1000, even though learners have redeemed achievement codes for Applied Skills. We would like clarification on the expected behavior of the Courseware Completions metric. First, are completions counted only for official Microsoft instructor-led courses mapped to a specific course ID, such as MS-900, with achievement code redemption. Second, should Applied Skills, Microsoft Learn modules, or other Learn-based achievements also contribute to this metric. Any guidance on whether this is expected behavior or a known issue would be appreciated. We can share screenshots if needed. Thank you, ZaibSeeking Guidance & Partners for Promoting Microsoft TSP Training

Hi All, we are trying to deliver SC200 course. Out MCTs tell us the courseware is not working at all. Video Links are not working eg. (Playback Error - We are sorry something went wrong) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/videoplayer/embed/RE4yiO5?rel=0&postJsllMsg=true https://www.microsoft.com/videoplayer/embed/RE4bOeh?rel=0 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/videoplayer/embed/RE4bGqo?rel=0&postJsllMsg=true AHL Labs are not working because of cloud slice architecture We (the MCts) use hours to find out how the lab should work in ALH Labs. Missing Permissions Wrong Links I cannot find any contact to get answers to these issues? Can anyone give hints how to discuss these topic. Just to play ping-pong between ALH and "Content Creators" (1 Month Feedback Time) and getting no resolution doesn´t help here. Can you please get back to a working environment. (Full Azure Access, Real World Training Situations) Not a Video Here, a Simulation There. Regards, MarioClarification on Courseware Completions Metric for TSP Qualification
Hi DanDonohue We are seeking clarification on whether Applied Skills learner achievement code redemptions contribute toward the Courseware Completions metric for TSP qualification. Specifically, could you please confirm whether this metric applies only to official Microsoft instructor-led courses mapped to a defined course ID (for example, MS-900) with redeemed achievement codes, or if Applied Skills achievements, individual Microsoft Learn modules, or other Learn-based credentials are also included? Thank you, ArchitMCT Email in MTM
📣 Important Update for MCT Renewals – Effective October 2026 Beginning with MCT renewals in October 2026, all trainers will be required to have taught 6 sessions (or 6 days) during the previous enrollment cycle. ✔️ Please refer to the attached PDF for the official definition of what qualifies as a session or day of delivery. This activity will be tracked in MTM (Metrics That Matter) using the MCT email address that the trainer is registered with in the MCT Program. 🔔 Important Notice for Learning Partners & TSP Community If your MCTs deliver classes under a learning partner email address, they will not receive credit for those deliveries in MTM. To ensure accurate tracking and compliance: ➡️ MCTs MUST use their official MCT email address when logging deliveries in MTM. ➡️ Learning partners, please ensure your trainers are aware of this requirement and are using the correct email when delivering and reporting classes. Maintaining accurate delivery records is essential for renewal, program integrity, and ensuring we continue to uphold the high standards of the MCT community. Thank you for your cooperation! Any questions please email mailto:mctprog@microsoft.comAccess Restricted Error On Partner Center Dashboard
Hi all, As mentioned in the last community call, we're seeing some users get an "Access Restricted" error when they try to access the Training Services Partner dashboard on Partner Center. This is not impacting your KPIs, just your view to those KPIs. Thanks to everyone who messaged me with their details after the call. I've compiled the errors and sent to the engineering team for further investigation. I will update you here when there is news to share.
