Recently, Microsoft announced that training materials developed for the Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) program must be evaluated using the CAQC quality standards. As a result, to be accepted as an authorized training provider and be listed on the Microsoft website for referrals, presentation skills courses/TTT workshops must first be approved by the CAQC program.

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 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.
