Free Fundamentals Training

SCCM financial awards will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of 10 training programs will be funded per fiscal year (October 1 through September 30). If all financial awards for a fiscal year have been distributed, a site may reapply for the next award cycle. A site may receive an SCCM financial award only once.

SCCM financial awards will be distributed to course sites to host these courses in person or online:
