An Updated Learning Partner Program in the Works

Microsoft has established three categories with specific metrics to achieve solution partner for training services designation. The new Learning Partner program service designations are slated to be available in the fourth calendar quarter of this year. The categories are:

            ·         Partner performance: At least 1,000 Microsoft Official Courseware (MOC) activations, and minimum of 200 Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exam vouchers purchased within a 12-month period.

            ·         Quality of training: Learning Partners require a minimum score of 4.25 out 5.0 among select survey questions on Microsoft’s Advanced Role-based courses from post-training surveys hosted on Microsoft’s required Metrics that Matter (MTM) survey platform.

            ·         Solution area depth: Learning Partners must achieve at least one solution partner designation.
