Not all redeemed classes were included under the “Courseware Completions” criteria in MPN center
Hello Team, When comparing the data extracted from the MPN portal under the “Courseware Completions” criteria with the data available in the Microsoft Organizational Skilling Portal - Home, we noticed that several redeemed classes are not included. As a result, our Courseware Completions score appears to be incomplete, which may affect our renewal status. Examples of missing class IDs include: M3MGZ9 (SC-300), 54N235 (AZ-104), and others. In total, more than 15 classes are not reflected in our Courseware Completions score. I can share the two source files used for the comparison if they would help with the investigation. Could you please review this issue and advise on the next steps? Many thanks,Partner Center Dashboard Access Issue
Hi all, I'm getting some reports that some of you who previously had access to Partner Center and the TSP Dashboard suddenly lost access in the last couple week. If this is you, can you please send me a direct message with a screen shot of what you're seeing, as well as the email address you're using to log into the site and your Microsoft Partner ID number. Please do not post that information as a reply to this thread. Please send directly to me DanDonohue. Thank you.FY27 TSP Community Call Thread

Question about Microsoft IT specialist certification, in relation to Coursera.
Please, bear with me, as it took me 3 hours just to get navigated here for help. I am taking IT courses with Coursera. I am not an IT professional...I am trying to change my career and my life. I was taking Googles IT Support Specialist course, but after 4 days of classes, I came across a major roadblock: Outdated information on their QwikLabs setup. The course was at least a year behind, the Demo on how to use Qwiklabs was seriously outdated, and Google has changed Qwiklabs into a "Pay to Create" gimmick that really doesn't work for anyone that is a Student, imo. $25+ to create a project, per project, and then 3 cents an hour while its running, can build up really fast. It was also changes and charges that Coursera was unaware of. So, how does this relate? I want to switch over to Microsoft IT Support courses and certification, but i want to make sure that its up to date, and that i won't run into another "out of the course" pay wall structure, because i really don't have that kind of money to throw around like that. It may not seem like a major deal to alot of people, but I am maintaining two households, on two continents, off one paycheck, and Im a kitchen employee...so Im sure alot of people can relate to how this is suddenly an issue. Can anyone verify how up-to-date that course is, from Microsoft, on Coursera? Im trying to change my life, and its already upsetting finding i wasted a weeks worth of effort.What is the proper way to join TSP?
My company joined MAICPP already. We also filled the TSP onboarding form. However, there is no email send to us. I cannot find any info from the Partner Center too. May I know what is the proper way to join TSP? Is there a website or email address to get in touch with support team?MCAPS Start for Partners Today (July 22)

MCAPS Start for Partners
Hello all - Coming off the recent MCAPS Start for Partners event, I want to make sure you're up on the latest that has come out of the Microsoft partner ecosystem. First, check out this blog post from Nicole Dezen, our Chief Partner Officer, which has a good summary of the announcements. You can also visit our Partner Activation Zone which has additional resources that will aid you understanding Microsoft's direction. A couple items to note: Some of the announcements do not have an impact on the Training Services Partner ecosystem and I want to ensure we don't generate any confusion. Things like the Partner Capability Score and Specializations are currently outside the TSP scope. I can tell you that behind the scenes we're actively working to bring the Frontier Partner vision into Global Skilling, but don't have anything to share with you yet. There was further explanation to last year's announcement about the 6 solution areas moving down to 3. The team made it clear that this was a customer-facing marketing change only and has no impact on requirements, KPIs, benefits, incentives, or specializations. This means that you'll continue to be able to meet the 6 solution areas and you'll received additional benefits for each one that you achieve. For example, if you achieve the Business Applications solution area you'll soon receive the public-facing AI Business Solutions badge. If you then achieve the Modern Work solution area you won't get an additional badge (it's the same as BizApps), but you'll get the benefits associated with achieving the additional area. Same goes for the 3 solution areas that feed into the Cloud & AI Platforms badge. Previous 6 designations/paths New badge Business Applications AI Business Solutions Modern Work AI Business Solutions Data & AI (Azure) Cloud & AI Platforms Digital & App Innovation (Azure) Cloud & AI Platforms Infrastructure (Azure) Cloud & AI Platforms Security Security For those that registered for the event you can review session recordings here: MCAPS Start for Partners Home. If you have any questions about what was announced at MCAPS Start for Partners, please let me know.Fix Implemented - Are You Having Achievement Code Issues?

I'll keep you updated when we get the fix implemented. Thank you for your patience. July 15 - our engineering team is not seeing a widespread outage on their side, but they are continuing to investigate. If you are still experiencing an outage please send me a private message (please do not post any PII directly in this thread) with the following: Your partner organization name (+ MPN ID if you know it) Email address you're using to log into your Admin account on Learn Which courses you were previously able to generate codes but no longer can (examples, doesn't have to be all of them) Approximately how long you have not been able to generate the codes I plan to update this thread every 2 days while we investigate the issue. Thank you! July 13 - thanks to all that shared their current achievement code issues. The team continues to investigate but no current time to resolution. July 1 - Hi all, I've seen a few posts regarding sudden issues in generating achievement codes. If this is an issue for you can you please reply to this with the course you're trying to generate and the approximate time you tried to generate? Trying to determine the scope of the problem. If you previously had an issue but it appears to be resolved now, please let me know that as well. Thanks, Dan
