Partner University Is Live! Did you know?

  • Artikel

In recent weeks, I have had quite a few partners reach out with questions regarding Partner University and so I thought I would spend some time today to share information and key resources.

For those that may not have heard.  We recently launched Partner University which is our new training platform for partners.  For those of you that have been around for a while, Partner University now houses all the Learning Paths.

Here’s what is new with Partner U!

  • Modern interface for a vastly improved UX. No more pop-ups!
  • Smart.  This platform remembers where you left off, so you can return with ease. Search is more robust, and content has been streamlined and contained in one place.
  • Easy admin.  The dashboard is sleek and clean, great for at-a-glance comprehension and intuitive for deeper dives. Plus a single sign on with a Microsoft account or Windows Live ID means employees don’t need to track down your organization’s MPN ID when they’re ready to take their training.
  • Reliable performance.  Partner University runs on Azure, giving it a big leap forward in reliability.
  • Fast.  With Azure on the backend, this system allows you to get in, get the training and information you need, and get on with your life.

Check out the following demos to understand how to get started on Partner University

Finding and Navigating Courses

Once you’re comfortable with using the dashboard, you’ll want to get started with your courses.

Use the below video to learn how to discover the courses that matter most to you. As you’ll see, the course player contains all of the video and PowerPoint content, as well as assessments or knowledge checks, within one window onscreen to enable you to consume it at the pace you choose. Also, if you need to step away from a course partway through, the system remembers where you left off and returns you to that exact spot when you resume the course.
