Same problem for me, I cannot see the concierge subscription even after switching to the Microsoft Learn Sandbox Directory (signed up today) as suggested by @ajkuma.

EDIT : it seems that going to a page involving the sandbox allows you to give the appropriate authorizations to your account : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/describe-core-architectural-components-of-azure/4-exercise-explore-learn-sandbox?source=learn

Grégoire Preud'homme , Apologies for the delay! Looks like you have now figured out the issue. Thanks for the update.

Yes the first time you activate a sandbox and accept the terms, your Microsoft account is associated with a new Azure directory named Microsoft Learn Sandbox, and you're added to a special subscription named Concierge Subscription.

Just for additional info:

For majority of the Azure Fundamentals Lab exercises, you can just use the sandbox to complete these lessons without a paid Azure subscription. The sandbox works independently from your regular subscriptions.

However, a few Azure modules exercise is a Bring your own subscription exercise, meaning you’ll need to provide your own Azure subscription to complete the exercise.
Example : Describe features and tools in Azure for governance and compliance ( Unit 5/8).

Please refer to the below link for sandbox related issue here:

Kindly take a look at the FAQs for more info:

Do I need an Azure account to use a sandbox?

No. All you need is a Microsoft account to sign in with. If you don't have one, you can create one for free.

What if I'm not in the right subscription?

If you sign in to the portal and are in your own subscription (or you sign in to your subscription and end up in the sandbox), one of two things might be wrong. Either you haven't activated the sandbox or your Azure settings put you in a default directory. You can change the directory by selecting the Directory and Subscription filter button on the toolbar along the top.

Hi,

Are you able to switch to the Microsoft Learn Sandbox tenant via the Directories + subscriptions screen:

https://portal.azure.com/#settings/directory

If the sandbox has expired you would need to activate a new one.

Thanks.

Answer 2

@Chloe Fathers, Vodafone ,

As TP mentioned, kindly switch the directory on Azure Portal. It should say Microsoft Learn Sandbox.

You can tell whether you're in the sandbox by looking at the directory listed under your name in the upper-right corner. It should say Microsoft Learn Sandbox.

If you sign into the Azure portal and are in your own subscription (or you sign in to your subscription and end up in the sandbox), one of two things might be wrong. Either you haven't activated the sandbox (I see from the screenshot, Sandbox is activated) or your Azure settings put you in a default directory (the issue is mostly, due to directory). You can change the directory by selecting the Directory and Subscription filter button on the toolbar along the top.

Just adding more insights on this:

The sandbox works independently from your regular subscriptions. In this case, you don’t have to leverage your free subscription.
Any unit that uses the Azure portal will always have a link in the instructions to make sure you're in the sandbox. You should always use this link to open the portal, because it will put you in the right directory and subscription. When you're prompted for a username and password, be sure to use the same account that you used to activate the sandbox.

Another trick to try

I was already in Azure learn directory but still want not able to see resource group learn under conceirge subscriprion.I went to directory section again and the toggled between the 2 directories.Basically switch on and off and then I could see the "Learn" group.
