5 Steps to Stay Ahead of Your Microsoft Designations

For Microsoft Partners, Designation renewals can feel like a moving target. Deadlines don’t just come once a year, depending on your renewal date, they can land any month. The difference between keeping your benefits or losing them often comes down to how well you plan, motivate your team, and stay ahead of certification requirements.

In this one-hour session, you’ll get a proven 5-step roadmap to stay in control: from identifying missing certifications and motivating your team for continuous learning, to using your Co-op funds wisely and securing your Solutions Partner status without last-minute stress.

Designation renewals are more than just a compliance exercise — they’re the foundation of your Microsoft partnership. Yet many Partners scramble at the last minute, risk losing incentives, or waste valuable Co-op funds. The key is having a plan you can share with your team: which certifications matter, when they need to be completed, and how to keep skilling momentum alive. Heine Pedersen will share practical strategies used by successful Partners to stay ahead of renewals, including how to build team accountability, align training with business goals, and track deadlines with confidence.

In This Session, You’ll Learn…

  • How to run a quick and accurate Designation gap analysis
  • Mapping certifications to role-based learning plans for your team
  • Smart strategies to fully use Co-op funds before they expire
  • Why instructor-led training delivers faster results than self-paced video
  • Real-world success stories of Partners who stayed ahead of renewals

This session is perfect for...

  • Microsoft Partners working toward or maintaining Designation status
  • Partner Center admins responsible for compliance
  • Training and skilling managers planning team readiness
  • Cloud and technical leads managing certifications
  • Business decision-makers overseeing Microsoft partnership requirements

One of the most insightful Microsoft sessions I’ve joined this year. Practical, actionable, and refreshingly clear. The instructor made Azure AD and Microsoft Entra topics feel simple and achievable.

This wasn’t just theory — I left with a concrete roadmap to improve our Microsoft 365 and Azure security posture before 2026. Highly recommended for any leader managing Microsoft environments.
