Is your business eligible for Software Assurance?

If you are unsure whether your business qualifies for the Microsoft training vouchers offered, contact purchasing or IT, often one of the two signing your business licensing agreement. Approach the person in charge of the training vouchers so that they can register you for the training you have selected from the list of eligible training.

If you have any difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact us: we can seek the information from Microsoft and confirm if your company is eligible for Software Assurance.

How can I use my training vouchers to follow an ITTCERT training?

Depending on the licensing agreement your company has purchased, Microsoft will give you a number of free training days. It makes the site available MVLS which allows your company’s Microsoft contract signatory, called the training benefit administrator, to assign training days to employees in the form of training vouchers.

The MVLS site also helps manage Software Assurance licenses and benefits, such as Microsoft Software Assurance qualifying training vouchers.

To use Software Assurance vouchers, your training benefit administrator must:

  • connect to the site MVLS www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter.
  • create your training voucher, select the training from the list of courses eligible for Software Assurance and register the participant’s name and email address. Each training voucher is characterized by the following elements: an ID (eg: G6LT-7C88), a value (eg: from 1 to 5 days of training) and a validity (eg: 20XX- XX- XX).
  • give ITTCERT your voucher: this action will validate your registration.

What is the validity of the vouchers?

Vouchers expire 6 months (180 days) after their allocation and reservation with the partner. The training must imperatively, in its entirety, be carried out during the 180-day period.

What are the payment methods ?

  • Local terms of use established by Microsoft training partners apply.

  • The company participating in the Software Assurance registration and on whose behalf the vouchers were created may revoke this benefit or the reservation before the cancellation deadline.
  • All course days not covered by the voucher must be paid for by the company of the person taking the training. All the course days mentioned on the voucher, which exceed the number of actual course days, will be put back into the reserve of available days, which the administrator can subsequently allocate.
  • Training vouchers can only be redeemed for days of training provided by trainers at a Microsoft training partner, and only for courses that appear on the list of training offered under the Software Assurance training voucher program. .
  • These coupons are not transferable. Vouchers can only be redeemed by the company of the person to whom they were awarded. The customer must authenticate the person to whom the voucher was assigned at the time of registration and give ITTCERT the voucher number and email address of that person.
  • Vouchers cannot be redeemed for cash, cash or any other valuable consideration.
  • A voucher expires six months (180 days) from the date of issue. Vouchers can only be used to make a reservation with one Microsoft training partner at a time.
  • Microsoft’s training partner reserves the right to cancel a course in accordance with the local cancellation policy.
