Learn how to link your Microsoft Learn profile to your Partner Center account and how to get access to Partner University. Linking your profile allows your organization to get credit for the trainings, assessments, and certifications you complete on Microsoft Learn and Partner University. You can manage these processes through the Partner Center Link Learn profile page.

What you need to know

Before you start, you should know the following:

  • Microsoft Learn and Partner University are two online learning platforms that help you gain skills and earn Microsoft certifications. They also contribute to your organization's Skilling scores for membership programs, such as Specialization and Solutions Partner designations.

  • You need to have access to Partner Center to link your profiles. Your Account Admin can create a user for you in Partner Center with your official email ID. You don't need any specific role to link your profiles.

  • You need to have a personal Microsoft account (MSA) to sign up for Microsoft Learn and Partner University. To learn more, see Create a Microsoft Learn profile.

  • You need to complete at least one certification on Microsoft Learn before you can link your profile to Partner Center. To check your certifications on your Microsoft Learn profile page:

    1. Sign in to Microsoft Learn.
    2. Select your Profile icon > select Profile -> Transcript. You should have at least one completed certification before you can link this account to Partner Center.

Follow the below steps to link your Microsoft certifications to Partner Center profile, so that your organization gets scores and be counted in skilling.

  1. Sign in to Microsoft Learn with your Microsoft account (MSA) and complete at least one certification.

  1. Sign in to the Partner Center Link Learn profile page with your work account and select Unlink Microsoft Learn profile.

Unlinking your profile stops your certifications from being credited to your organization. You can link your profile to another Partner Center account if you want. You can link and unlink your profile up to three times per year, with a 30-day waiting period between each linking.

Frequently asked questions

What is a personal Microsoft Account (MSA) account?

An MSA is a personal account used to access Microsoft services and products, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Xbox, and Microsoft 365. It typically involves an email address and password that you use to sign in across different Microsoft platforms for both personal and work-related activities. To learn more, see How to create a new Microsoft account.

No, each user must sign in to Partner Center and link their own profiles. This is to protect your privacy and data.

What should I do if I have trouble linking my Microsoft Learn profile to Partner Center?

Make sure you've completed at least one certification on Microsoft Learn and that you're using the same MSA for both platforms. If you still have issues, you can contact support.

How to check if I have completed at least one certification in Microsoft Learn profile?

Sign into your Microsoft Learn profile. Select the photo avatar and select Profile from the dropdown menu. In the profile menu, select Transcript. Your transcript displays all successfully completed certifications.

How long does it take for my certifications to show up in Partner Center?

It usually takes around 10 days for your certifications or linkages to be reflected in Partner Center Specializations or Solutions Partner designation programs.

If you change your company, you can link your MSA with the new company's Partner Center account. Linking to a new company automatically unlinks your MSA from the previous company's account.

What should I do if I reach the limit of associations per year?

You can only associate your MSA with a Partner Center account up to three times per year, with a 30-day waiting period between each association. You can check your profile for the date when you can start a new association.

What are the possible reasons of failure for linking between Microsoft Learn Profile to Partner Center

There are two main reasons for the failures:

  • Before linking your Microsoft Learn profile to your Partner Center account, you must first complete at least one exam or certification in your Microsoft Learn profile.
  • Linking involves multiple systems across the Microsoft ecosystem working together. Occasionally, there might be temporary connection issues, which typically resolve themselves within a few minutes or hours. In such cases, we recommend trying again later.
