FY27 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: decks and recordings of previous calls are kept on the Learning Resources site for 12 months in our Community Call collection. Files from the most recent Community Call take 1-2 weeks to land in the collection. New this fiscal: to be better prepared to present the information you want to hear, we've created a question intake form that we'll use to help plan the calls. Drop a question or some feedback and we'll take the information into account. https://aka.ms/TSPCallQuestionsLab Issues - Rolling Updates
Hello all, We're working on ways to better update our partner ecosystem on issues with labs. Until we have a more sustainable and scalable solution, I will provide updates to this pinned thread. August 13 AZ-500 issue has been resolved. SC-500 labs will be delayed one week to August 21 (August 7th title plan says August 14 release) August 10 From Skillable for AZ-500: "A subset of labs in the below courses are currently impacted by an older VM SKU with limited availability. We have updated the labs under our control and have engaged Microsoft to have the content updated to a new SKU with more general availability." Our Microsoft labs team is aware of the issue and working on it. Will update here when I have more info. August 4 365 Defender Lab: Resolved AB-210, AB-250, and MB-230: Resolved July 29 Impact: 365 Defender Lab set to release 7/31. A bug is causing issues in activating the M365 Connector for the Security for AI service. User cannot proceed past trial activation window. Issue has been escalated, no time to resolution yet. Impact: AB-210, AB-250, and MB-230. Dynamics trial license issue, unable to redeem Sales license. Issue has been escalated, no time to resolution yet.SC-500 - Where are the ALH Labs?
I just downloaded and reviewed SC-500 and Instructor Notes. It seems the ALH Providers are not offering LABs for this course. Some Labs show "BYOS". That is not deliverable. No one has free SCU or Copilot for Security Licenses on stock for training. Only slides, no exercises or only click thru simulations again. Please come on, not another one of that. Can anyone give a tip, where and how fully functional tenants for ALL (including the "expensive" copilot stuff) labs are available? Thanks for any help Mario
The new MD-102 and the missing labs
Hi. This complete rewrite of MD-102 has been long underway and very much wanted. The new courseware arrived on time, but much to our disappointment, we discovered that labs will first arrive in the next 30-60 days. Clients will not be happy with a 5 days course without labs. If this is the new norm, then it will render the Courseware Title Plan useless, if we only get part of the course on the dates mentioned.
Students See Admin-Completed Modules After Redeeming Course Code
Is there a way to reset a Code Admin Account (e.g. the email address removed for privacy reasons) used for Microsoft Learn learner course and achievement code generation including distribution? Preparation completed by a TSP using the Code Admin Account appears to be carried over to students when they claim their codes. As a result, modules that were previously previewed by the admin are already marked as completed in the students’ module lists once their codes are activated. I may be missing something, but I’ve attached an image showing how students see some course modules already ticked as completed after redeeming their course code. I also have a related question: are trainers able to view their students’ progress for Microsoft Learn training materials redeemed through these course codes? Specifically, can trainers see whether their students are progressing through the self-paced learning modules? If these questions have already been answered elsewhere, I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Any input or guidance would be greatly appreciated to resolve any or all of the above. Thanks in advance.
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?Seeking Guidance & Partners for Promoting Microsoft TSP Training
Hello everyone, I’m exploring effective ways to market our Microsoft TSP (Training Services Partner) courses and would really appreciate insights from the community. If you have experience promoting Microsoft training offerings, I’d love to learn about recommended approaches, or useful resources that have worked for you. I’m also open to connecting with individuals or partners who support course marketing on a commission basis. If you have suggestions, guidance, or services you’d like to offer, please feel free to share. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support. vk2
Clarification 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, Archit
