Why should you become a Microsoft Certified Trainer?

Ninety-three percent of US companies say they are “not where they want to be” in terms of IT skills (CompTIA, State of the IT Skills Gap, February 2012).

Whether its in a face-to-face environment or via various learning technologies, people learn from people. Using your skills to promote and maintain a learner-centric environment is key to knowledge and skills transfer. CompTIA's Certified Technical Trainer certification covers all aspects of instructor-led training and is worldwide recognised - Microsoft view it as an essential way to demonstrate your instructional competence as part of becoming an MCT.

Cloud Technologies (Azure) Bring New MCT Opportunities

80% of businesses are expected to be using cloud computing by 2020. This means there's a huge opportunity for training and for you to distinguish yourself as an MCT!

Azure incorporates a great depth and breadth of technologies with products added at increasing frequency.

What are the Requirements for MCT?

As an MCT, you'll need a Microsoft Certification to validate your experience and knowledge in the product area you're delivering courses for.

Microsoft focus the MCT requirement on achievable practical skills and experience. For example, you can currently achieve MCT application status by holding an MCSA and the CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+) to demonstrate your instructional skills competence.

Do I Have to be an MCSA / MCSE / MCSD First?

You can attain the certifications in any order, CTT+ first or Microsoft technical certification first.

It may be most efficient to gain your CTT+ first from a course timing perspective. You don't need to have Microsoft certifications to achieve your CTT+. The CTT+ encourages considering learning from all perspectives i.e. those of the learner, the learner organisation, the trainer and the instructional designer. Considering all viewpoints improves course preparation and learning and may well speed up your own learning process.
