Hi Kyle,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A platform.
Typically, you need a Visual Studio subscription, with standard Professional or Enterprise subscriptions qualifying for this developer subscription. It's important to ensure that the email is not associated with a Microsoft 365 tenant (like those ending in *.onmicrosoft.com) and that it meets the eligibility requirements for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. Please follow below:
How do I get a Microsoft 365 E5 developer sandbox subscription ?

What if I don't have a visual studio subscription, is there any way to qualify for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program, in order to continue learning and check the exercises in the learning path?
Hi Hend AlShubaili,
You need a corporate/business account associated with the Microsoft 365 tenant. Then you can be able to access the Microsoft 365 developer program.
Hello Kyle,
We're delighted to hear that you are able to find the solution. If you encounter any further challenges, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us, and we'll be more than happy to provide additional assistance.
Hello, thanks for your swift response.
I actually did sign with my corporate account, however I'm still getting the "you don't qualify" message. And I also tried a personal account and got the same message.
I'm currently stuck with my learning journey I cannot finish the course because of the sandbox issue, if you can please guide me on how to associate my corporate account with the Microsoft 365 tenant, to be qualified for the Microsoft developer program, I would really appreciate it. Or else if there's another way to practice the exercises on the courses? Thanks!
Hi Hend AlShubaili,
For information on any restrictions that may be in place, please contact your IT administrator. Currently, access to the Microsoft 365 Developer program is limited. Please go to the FAQ and Microsoft blog.
