Re: Access denied - https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/_forms/default.aspx
@MindyAllison I can confirm that a user accessing the site for the first time does not have the option to request access, like they normally should. I tested this on some accounts that do not have access and all were met with an error. In the past, if it was the user's first time accessing they would be given a chance to request access.Re: Can we get the profile of the MCT, with MCID? Want to know the authenticity?
Hello,SrinivasR There is currently no directory of MCTs available for reference. That could be a useful tool in the future, but currently there is not one we can use. An MCT needs to choose to share their transcript with you for you to verify if they are an MCT. Most MCTs are accustomed to doing this when starting teaching with a TSP, it shouldn't cause issue.Re: Can we get the profile of the MCT, with MCID? Want to know the authenticity?
You are likely referencing their Transcript. Getting an MCT transcript is fairly simple. Have the MCT access https://learn.microsoft.com/users/me/transcript and then on the right-hand side "Share Link". They can share their link with you, and you can use this to validate the credentials they have.Re: Inquiry about Becoming a Microsoft Learning Partner (Authorized Training Center)
Hello, Haneya! You are correct that Learning Partners are now called "Training Service Partners", or TSPs. This was a change done over the course of 2023. Great that you already have MCTs in your org, and also purchased the Learning Action Pack! I believe you are referencing the documentation found here: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/asset/collection/get-started-solutions-partner-for-training-services-designation#/ You are actually already a TSP at this point, now you just need to start training! (To confirm if your registration was successful, you can check for your action pack benefits. Also, you should now have a TSP dashboard in partner center. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/training-services-partner/training-services-partner-dashboard-now-live-on-partner-center/td-p/3996100 ) For step 3, "Use Official Microsoft Courseware, Labs, and Exams", this means you will need to 1. Have MCTs download the slides from the Learning Download Center. Link can be found in the MCT Lounge. 2. Coordinate to have your labs provided by one of the 5 approved lab provider companies. I usually recommend people reference https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/en-us/azure-pass-retirement-partner-faq.pdf for the list of providers. 3. Create an achievement code. Steps in the documentation above. If you have those above steps ready, then you can find learners and schedule the class in Metrics That Matter. To get credit as a TSP, remember you MUST have learners redeem achievement codes and fill out MTM surveys. If you have more questions please reach out at anytime. Good luck training!Re: Cannot register to certification exam with my last name (and city name)
While I am unfamiliar with this issue in regards to a European background, in Japan we of course face a similar challenge. I tell my students to input their name and city information in English characters, and none have reported an issue to me so far. Have you contacted Pearson Vue to confirm with them? In my experience they are usually understanding and aware of the limitations of the system. https://www.pearsonvue.co.uk/Test-takers/Customer-service.aspx Here is the link for EMEA support for test takers. You could also just call your test center directly, they're generally pretty helpful.Re: HOW TO RETRIEVE MY MCP ID
Hello,y2m2target If you have lost access to your account because it is with a former employer, 2 things to keep in mind. 1. If you need profile support, you will likely end up athttps://trainingsupport.microsoft.com/en-us/mcp Consider going directly there as the staff there have the tools to help you recover and merge accounts when you cannot. That's your best bet to get access to an account you lost access to. 2. If you took a Certified Exam, it should be tied to your personal Microsoft account as the exam process (should) prohibit you from taking an exam with your work account. Could you specify what exam it was and around what time (maybe even year) it was when you took it? The above Credential forum I linked not only supports users with their learn profiles but also all credentials (certs, applied skills, etc.) Hope you're able to get access somehow.Re: Unable to get My DP-203 Certificate

I can only guide you through the standard procedure, beyond that I am just a user like you πRe: Unable to get My DP-203 Certificate

Click on "View certification details" to Download, Print, or Share your certificate. If your certificate isnot there, please see my above reply for the correct forum to get support.Re: Unable to get My DP-203 Certificate

Hello,sheri-produhktiv Here is a quote from the official announcement. You can read itread it here. I am pleased to announce that we are adding a powerful new resource designed to help with all role-based (associate, expert, and specialty) certification exams. This means you can tell your learners and clients that all exams, except for fundamentals, will have this resource available.Re: Ability to underline and add notes as trainers on MOC
Hi,Cornelia_Erasmus From my own experience, small additions or clarifications, such as a text box (sticky note) appearing on a slide should be no problem if that is how your trainers want to add value to their courses. They'll surely have additional commentary or experiences to share as experts, and the visual cues can help them remember to go over them in class. I would confirm that: >Trainers are not altering the actual content itself, only making additions >It is made clear these additions are coming from the trainer/partner, andnot from Microsoft (maybe in your sticky note, the top can be labeled something like "Note from Trainer:" >You could consider additional slides to accomplish this, where you might show images or experiences from your trainer Please note this is my understanding of the policies regarding MOC. Could eitherDanDonohueorMindy_Rosenthalconfirm this is the correct way to make additions while maintaining compliance?Re: MS102 vs. MS102 Lab Pricing
Hi,Mario_Fuchs I did check 4/5 of the ALH and you are correct that MS102 lab provisions are more affordable than MD102 labs. However, while both have overlap on 365 administration content and are 5 days in length, I believe MD102 discusses how to use some premium features and tools related endpoints that are not covered in general 365 admin MS102, which would lead to the discrepancy in cost. Just for reference for anyone wanting to compare the ALHs, here is the PDF I reference for the list of the approved 5 companies and their websites. https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/en-us/azure-pass-retirement-partner-faq.pdf I believe the difference in tools would mean you'd need to use MD-102 lab for its course, however I have not taught MD-102 yet and would appreciate confirmation fromMindy_RosenthalorJillArmourRe: Become a Learning Partner
Just another thing to consider, Rather than preparing licenses for your trainings, many of the ALH providers we use for labs can also offer more customized solutions. It may be worth looking into to see if you can create those simulated environments for trainings, rather than purchase new licenses each time. That being said, I can see the value-add of selling your students a license during trainings. Just an idea for you. Best of luck!Re: MCT and marketplace
Hi, MostafaHemdan! If you are looking for Official Microsoft Courses (what the Training Partner program officially uses), Courseware Marketplace no longer fills that role. Here's some links for reference for you. https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/en-us/courseware-marketplace-and-skillpipe-retirement-partner-faq.pdf https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/asset/collection/transition-courseware-on-microsoft-learn#/ If you are an MCT and you are planning to teach a class, you should be getting your materials through MCT Lounge with the Learning Download Center. Your Training Service Partner company should be familiar with how to do this. For your students, they will access Microsoft Learn as their textbook. If you still have questions, feel free to ask!Re: Certification Link doesn't display well
Hi, Nabil! Sorry you're having trouble with your link. From my side, your link opened to the certificate just fine! Could you maybe explain what the issue with the HTML is? The image you uploaded seems to have been compressed too far, so I cannot read it very well.Re: ALH Lab VMs - Super Current Software
Mario_Fuchs That is understandably very frustrating. You are trying to ensure a quality class for your clients. Since this is a public forum I don't want to endorse one provider over another necessarily, but I do recommend contacting the other 3 as well. I would hope the ALH will be willing to provide a good experience for your students.Re: I want to renew my azure student service
Hi! Questions about Azure are probably best suited for the Microsoft Hub of the same name. Here is a link: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure/ct-p/Azure Posting your question in that forum will assure that people with the same question as you can see an answer in an on-topic forum. Hope you are able to renew your student subscription!
