Hi Shane Malfent,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A platform.
To activate the Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox, you typically need a Visual Studio subscription. Specifically, Visual Studio Professional or Visual Studio Enterprise subscriptions qualify for this Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox. 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 ?

I accept the answer however, when you are going through the learning module it tells you that you are able to create a free account for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program, if i follow your link it seems this has now been restricted, which defeats the purpose of the learning module. Maybe the leaning platform should look at having their own platform for performing these functions and not rely on a system that requires all this eligibility to join.
