How the Engage Center Redeem Training Key works—and why it matters

The Redeem Training Key feature in Engage Center is your secure access to WorkshopPLUS hands-on labs. Here’s how it works:

• Simple Access: After you register for a WorkshopPLUS session, your instructor will provide you with a unique training key. During the workshop, sign in to Engage Center with your work (Entra) account, navigate to the Learning > My Learning page, and select "Redeem Training Key" on your My Learning Dashboard.

• Seamless Lab Entry: Your instructor will provide you with your training key. Enter your training key on Engage Center, and you'll be directed to the Learning Campus, where your enrolled course and its associated labs will appear. This process ensures you're recognized as an authorized participant and launches your virtual lab environment with just a click.

• Security First: Using the Redeem Training Key feature through Engage Center—rather than accessing labs directly—ensures that you use your organization's secure work account. Using your secure work account is critical for protecting your data and aligning with Microsoft's security standards. Due to these enhanced security requirements, personal accounts are not recommended for lab access.

• Importance: Redeeming your training key in Engage Center guarantees a streamlined, secure experience. It connects your lab activity to your organizational profile, supports compliance, and helps track your participation and completion. Skipping this step or using a personal account can lead to access issues and may prevent you from receiving credit for your training.

1. During the workshop, sign in to Engage Center with your work (Entra) account.

Tip

Make sure your Entra (work) account is set up before your workshop and that you've been granted permission to access Learning on Engage Center. If you need help, check Group Management in Microsoft Engage Center.

This approach not only simplifies your access to hands-on labs but also ensures your learning journey is secure and properly tracked for your organization.
