Microsoft Certified Trainner (MCT)

Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) are the premier technical and instructional experts in Microsoft products, technologies, and solutions. To ensure a superior learning experience for our customers, MCTs are the only individuals that Microsoft authorizes to deliver training that is based on Official Microsoft Learning Products or Microsoft Dynamics Learning Products for the MCT program.

The MCT community spans more than 140 countries and includes classroom and e-learning instructors, learning consultants, authors, conference presenters, user group leaders, and more. All are united by passion and talent for helping Microsoft customers and partners realize their full learning potential.

MCTs meet high initial and on-going certification requirements and enjoy access to many benefits. These include free access to the complete library of Official Microsoft Learning products; substantial discounts on exams, books, and Microsoft products; members-only newsgroups and online community resources; and invitations to exclusive events and programs.

The Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) Program is an annual renewal program. Each year in April, you are required to complete an online application, pay an annual fee, and meet a number of program requirements to renew your certification for the coming year. As a member of the exclusive MCT Program, you will be granted access to valuable program benefits.
