Recently announced change to the Software Assurance Benefits program:
We’re retiring the Software Assurance training voucher benefit starting in February 2020, and training days will no longer be used to convert to Planning Services days. You can still use training vouchers until January 2022, with the exception of Azure training, which will be removed from the course catalog in February 2020.
Software Assurance training vouchers provide in-depth technical training for IT professionals and developers. Developed by Microsoft experts with classroom training, taught by Microsoft Certified Trainers and Microsoft Official Courses On Demand (MOD) hosted online and taught by top trainers. Training vouchers help your IT staff deploy, manage, support new software and stay current with technology—without impacting your budget.
Your training days are based on the type and number of licenses you have with Software Assurance. Work with your Microsoft Certified Trainer partners to identify the right option for your training needs.
- Learn how to create and assign a training voucher for eligible services.
- Select a Microsoft Learning partner to provide your chosen training.
- Review the Product Terms to learn about the Software Assurance Training benefit and how the benefit’s allocation is calculated.
- Learning partners can review Software Assurance Training Voucher guidance for more information on using you training vouchers.
