Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) are
qualified instructors, certified by Microsoft to deliver Microsoft training
courses to Information Technology (IT) professionals and developers.
Microsoft certifies professional trainers who have demonstrated expertise on
Microsoft technologies and maintain the necessary instructional skill set
demanded in today's learning environment for Information Technology (IT).
Certification means these professional trainers meet Microsoft's high
standards for delivering Microsoft training.
The Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) credential allows students, training
providers, and organizations to identify leading technology trainers who can
deliver superior training on Microsoft technologies and products. With
Microsoft certification, MCTs have a competitive edge in their career and
are a vital resource in today's technical training community.
In addition to industry recognition, Microsoft provides MCTs with a valuable
set of trainer resources to aid them in becoming some of the best technology
trainers in the world. Members of the MCT community receive a number of
program benefits, including discounts on MCP certification exams, access to
courseware support, and direct communication from Microsoft on courseware,
certification, and program announcements.
The Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) Program is an annual renewal program.
Each year in October, you are required to complete an online application,
pay an annual fee, and meet a number of program requirements in order to
renew your certification for the coming year. As a member of the exclusive
MCT Program, you will be granted access to a number of valuable program
benefits.

Microsoft recognizes and promotes MCTs as Microsoft product and course
experts. Because MCTs play such an important role in the training process,
it is important that MCTs have the instructional skills and technical
qualifications to deliver the best possible training to IT professionals and
developers. For this reason, the requirements of the MCT Program ensure that
MCTs have broad technical knowledge and up-to-date teaching skills.

development activities of our trainers.
