Contact the Enterprise Skills Initiative Support Team
Because ESI access is handled by a dedicated support team, you must use their specific portal to check account requirements and request enrollment assistance.
General Microsoft 365 technical support cannot process Enterprise Skills Initiative requests. All account creation and enrollment inquiries must be routed through the dedicated ESI support portal.
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Enterprise Skills Initiative support page at https://esisupport.microsoft.com/en-US/signin.
Click the sign-in button and enter your company-provided Microsoft account credentials to verify your organization's eligibility.
If you are unable to log in or need clarification on enrollment requirements, use the portal's help section to submit a ticket directly to the ESI support team.

Frequently Asked Questions
