  • Article
Below is information regarding Azure Passes which Microsoft provides to support lab solutions for specific courses covering Microsoft cloud technologies.

Last Updated: November 14, 2023

Microsoft is offering your students access to a free 15-day or 30-day Microsoft Azure Pass depending on the individual course requirement. Passes for students will be distributed to students and MCTs when they access hands-on labs via one of the Authorized Lab hosters (ALH’s). The ALH will automatically distribute an Azure Pass to students for courses that eligible for Azure Passes.

MCTs are permitted to request one pass for their eligible Azure course preparation needs. This continues to be the case and MCTs can request their eligible Azure course preparation pass, however this offering may be terminated at any time.

There are a limited number of passes available to be distributed to Learning Partners and MCTs. Availability can only be guaranteed while supplies last and only in countries/regions where Microsoft Azure is supported.

How to Request a Pass

Learning Partners should purchase access to hands-on labs for eligible MOC courses via an Authorized Lab Hoster (ALH). The ALH will distribute the Azure pass, once a student accesses the labs.

Are you a Microsoft Certified Trainer teaching on behalf of a Microsoft Learning Partner? The ALH will provide you with an Azure Pass for eligible courses that you are scheduled to teach using their platform.

Details about the Microsoft Learning Azure Pass

This student pass available to Microsoft Learning Partners effectively functions in the same way as the publicly available Microsoft Azure Trial Subscription with similar limitations. This pass will not require a payment instrument, i.e. no credit card details are required to activate the pass. A full list of all the legal features available for the publicly available Trial Subscription is viewable at the following site: https://azure.microsoft.com/offers/azure-pass/.
