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, vk2SolvedSeeking 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.

The MCT Portal is available BUT currently in a PILOT PHASE! To enable this pilot, we’ve set up a public link for early access. However, the portal has not been officially announced yet, and we kindly ask that you hold off on directing MCTs to renew or enroll for about one week. We’re working through a few bugs to ensure the best possible user experience for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we finalize these improvements. We’ll share an official announcement soon—stay tuned! MCT Program Team.Announcing: AI Office Hours for Microsoft Partners in the DACH Region

Dear Community Leaders, I hope this message finds you well! I’m reaching out to ask if it would be appropriate to share a post in the MCT Community or MCT Longue regarding an initiative I’m developing under the Microsoft XIAD program. The concept is to invite fellow MCTs—particularly those not currently affiliated with a TSP—to collaborate on future training events. While paid opportunities may not be available at the outset, we’re committed to offering visibility and recognition. One way we plan to do this is by featuring trainer profiles and their specialties on our website, helping build credibility and exposure for participating MCTs. As part of this initiative, I’m planning to organize a one-day event each quarter, and I’m looking to collaborate with five certified MCTs who hold any of the following certifications: PL300, DP100, DP203, DP600, DP700, PL200, PL400, PL600 The goal is to foster meaningful partnerships and create a space where trainers can align with our mission and potentially engage in future work. I’d love to start this conversation in a transparent and inclusive way, and I believe the MCT Café could be a great place to gauge interest and gather feedback. Please let me know if this type of post would be welcome, or if there’s a preferred channel or format for sharing such ideas. Warm regards, vk2 MCT & Head of TSP.⏳Last Call for Microsoft Partners in Switzerland!⏳
