5. Who can apply to join the program? The CPLS Engagement Program is open to all CPLS located within United States. We profile your company and MCTs. The Microsoft CPLS program manager will select the CPLS based on the following factors:
The CPLS maintains an active Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions Competency status during the period in which all events are conducted by the CPLS.
Academic learning providers are excluded from this program.
The CPLS applying must have a valid CPLS location within United States.
Partner satisfaction and MTM (Metrics that Matter) evaluation scores from previous years are over 8.1 from scale 1-9 (and 7.8+ for Dynamics).

The CPLS must have a Hardware Level of at minimum 4+ as identified within the CPLS Program Agreement. Requirements may be higher depending on training offering.
6. What is the enrollment process? The CPLS Engagement Program always runs for one fiscal year and all CPLSs need to re-enroll on a yearly basis. For FY11, the enrollment period for all CPLSs interested in joining the program will be May 17th to June 18th, 2010.
During the enrollment period, qualified CPLSs can enroll online via the CPLS Portal: http://www.cplsportal.com
New CPLSs who have not participated in the program yet will be accepted on probation period. They will receive assignments, and must attain over 8.1 in instructor and event management scores (from scale 1-9) for their first 3 events, to be fully approved into the program.
CPLSs can also join the program after the enrollment period but we prefer that the majority enrolls in the May-June timeframe so that we know who our pool of training partners will be for the fiscal year.

Availability within specific timeframe.
