Microsoft's Qualified Educational User definition — what it looks for
- An accredited institution, officially recognised by the relevant educational authority
- Students enrolled in formal programmes
- Licences used by staff, faculty or students of the institution
Commercial training providers are usually not eligible — if that's you, we'll say so up front and show you nonprofit or standard paths instead.

The pre-check
Tell us your institution type, country and recognising authority. We assess your fit against the definition and send your exact document checklist — before anything is submitted.
Once eligible: academic Microsoft licensing, supplied by us.
| Licence | Who it's for | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Office 365 A1 | Every school — free tier | Web Office, Teams, 50 GB mail |
| Microsoft 365 A3 | Staff and faculty | Desktop apps, device management, core security |
| Microsoft 365 A5 | Security-conscious institutions | MFA + Defender — closes the 81% MFA gap |
| Teams & Intune for Education | Classrooms and device fleets | Simple, centralised management |
Academic pricing applies only after Microsoft's approval. We supply as your academic CSP.
