Why CloudLabs is the best ALH for Microsoft Learning Partners

Microsoft has for long been offering free limited access Microsoft Azure Passes for MOC course requirements. The Passes could only be obtained by authorized Microsoft Learning Partners through the Courseware Marketplace. 

However, Microsoft recently decided to discontinue Azure Passes for many MOC courses. Almost all the courses, barring a few, won’t be accompanied by Azure Passes and they cannot be obtained via the Courseware Marketplace anymore. This change makes it particularly important for Learning Partners to work with a reliable and experienced ALH partner for both Azure Pass based and managed labs. 

CloudLabs is an experienced Authorized Lab Hoster for Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) Courses and the good news is, Learning Partners can now acquire labs directly from CloudLabs while also availing discounts. It is also the only Authorized Lab Hoster to support the DP-203 course without Azure Pass since its launch in February 2021. 

We are offering Azure Pass based MOC Labs for courses including AZ-140, AZ-400, MS-720, PL-400, PL-500, SC-200, and SC-300.
