Microsoft Fabric—the all-in-one analytics solution that covers everything from data movement to data science—has enabled the role of enterprise data analyst to evolve into that of analytics engineer.

Updated July 26, 2025 As we step into FY26 on July 1st, 2025, I want to share some important updates regarding the MCT Program—especially for those planning to renew. New Fees Coming October 2025, no exact date and the cost will be shared at a later date. Starting July 1st, 2025, we will introduce: A renewal fee (ecommerce tool will be available in October 2025 for everyone to renew) A new MCT enrollment fee (ecommerce tool will be available in October 2025 for new MCTs) Our systems are currently being updated to support this change, with the new tool expected to launch in October 2025. More to come on costs. Pricing will be region supported. Session Requirement for Renewal Effective January 1st, 2026, MCTs will be required to complete six (6) sessions or six (6) days of training per calendar year to qualify for renewal. For clarity on what qualifies as a session, please refer to the attached PDF: Mandatory Use of MTM We will be enforcing stricter requirements for using Metrics That Matter (MTM) to log sessions with your Training Services Partner (TSP). Please coordinate with your TSPs to ensure MTM is being used correctly. What to Expect Next More details on program costs will be shared closer to the tool’s release. All MCTs that were MCTs before manual enrollment have been extended through January 1st, 2026, with full benefits. You’ll see this extension reflected in your profile in your MCT Trainer History NOT active certification. All current MCTs will be able to renew when the tool is available in October 2025 and the requirement to renew will be to have an active certification and have taught one class since your last renewal and pay the renewal fee (costs to come later). We will be checking that you have taught the one class using MTM. New MCTs will need ISC certificate, one role-based active certification and pay the MCT new enrollment fee.

How to download Microsoft Learning Partner Logo or badge
I am a Microsoft Learning Partner, but I don't know where to download the latest Microsoft Learning Partner Logo or badge. Currently, on the MCCP website, there are logos available for download for Microsoft partners, but they do not include the wording "Learning Partner." Can you please tell me where I can download the latest Microsoft Learning Partner Logo or badge?
URGENT: Monthly Title Plan Maintenance
Hello, everyone -- I wanted to provide an update about the August Monthly Title Plans. The current system we use to generate those reports, is being worked on. We hope to have this resolved by tomorrow. I will immediately put an August Title Plan out once I can. Then we will continue our bi-weekly cadence as usual. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Please refer to these slides below, shared on the Partner Community Call for information on updates. They are also attached to this post as well. Thank you all for your patience.MS LEARN Issue: Learning Paths vs Modules on MS Learn
Hello Team We have a quality issue with MS Learn. If you compare the official courselink we are supposed to send out for any course ( the one that includes our MPN ID see here for MS-102: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.microsoft.com%2Ftraining%2Fcourses%2Fms-102t00%3FWT.mc_id%3Dilt_partner_webpage_wwl%26ocid%3D5023439%23study-guide&data=05%7C01%7CNicola.Keskin%40tdsynnex.com%7C67230da53551447526dd08db731dfb72%7C7fe14ab68f5d413984bfcd8aed0ee6b9%7C1%7C0%7C638230344842339972%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YhBUUsIlYHxLy8KhEWVIntqIaqkuFeXHtVdyDKCG%2Bww%3D&reserved=0 https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.microsoft.com%2Ftraining%2Fcourses%2Fms-102t00%3FWT.mc_id%3Dilt_partner_webpage_wwl%26ocid%3D5023439%23study-guide&data=05%7C01%7CNicola.Keskin%40tdsynnex.com%7C67230da53551447526dd08db731dfb72%7C7fe14ab68f5d413984bfcd8aed0ee6b9%7C1%7C0%7C638230344842339972%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YhBUUsIlYHxLy8KhEWVIntqIaqkuFeXHtVdyDKCG%2Bww%3D&reserved=0 Now if you browse MS Learn differently and start searching for the Exam, MS Learn shows the self study material which is structured differently: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fcertifications%2Fexams%2Fms-102%2F&data=05%7C01%7CNicola.Keskin%40tdsynnex.com%7C67230da53551447526dd08db731dfb72%7C7fe14ab68f5d413984bfcd8aed0ee6b9%7C1%7C0%7C638230344842339972%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BoU2BTeiOSfdtx7WYVpgj0yeE1ecNC87KwRuZof3hSU%3D&reserved=0 We also saw this with SC-300 and we realized that the self study material that you find if you go through the exam seems to be the updated one (aligned to MCT officially available course) - while the courseware link that we have to share with our MPN ID does not follow the official MCT documents, making it hard for our MCTs and making us look unprofessional as well . This happens with a lot of courses, the best way would be to show the same content through both links - preferably of course the same way the MCT material is structured. Happy to go with you through an example in person but please advise and check Nicola
