    I am hoping somebody can clarify a couple of questions I have in regards to MCT. I have asked a question on here once before and the answers I received were very helpful, but I am having a hard time figuring out exactly what a couple of the requirements are for MCT. I have searched Microsoft several times and clicked on several links, once again, it seems like I am going in circles. Any help would be appreciated. I figure it best that I just paste my email that I sent to MCThelp. I tried to be as specific as I can with my questions.

    Thanks in advance.---Rhonda

    Here is the email with my questions:

    I would like to become eligible to be a Microsoft Certification Trainer, but I need some clarifications. According to the website it states, Provide evidence of your employment status with an accredited academic institution which is listed as one out of the four options one can use to demonstrate instructional presentation skills. I do work at a community college as an Instructor which I work with students that take courses in Microsoft Office 2007. Can you tell me what do I need to show as proof? Or is this not acceptable as proof?

     

    I was also reviewing the fees. My goal is to be able teach/train others on Microsoft Office. To be able to do this do I pay the fee for MCTs who deliver Microsoft information worker courses only for $150 or would it be the other which is $400?

     

    I did pass all of the certification exams and obtained my Microsoft Office 2007 Master. I appreciate any help/advice that you may have to offer.

    Hi Rhonda,

    You have to both be qualified to teach and pass the Certification you are wishing to teach.

    You Microsoft Regional Service Center can help if you are confused, I have always found them very helpful.

    If you are already an MCP you can apply to become MCT, the detailed requirements and guidance is available from the MCP site when you apply for MCT.

    Good Luck,

    Ozzy Geoff

    Hi RLarity,

    If you have any MCT related questions you can contact Tjeerd, below is his contact info and he is very helpful:

    Tjeerd Veninga

    http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/CertGeneral/thread/2bb8d9c8-4524-41a7-b986-ab11481d3d60

    If you just want to teach/train others on Microsoft Office only, I believe it's only $150 instead of $400.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks, Michael Mei

    Hi Ozzy,

    I finally did get an email but I was still unclear as to what was needed from my employer for instructional presentation skills. I did email back and received clarification of exactly what it was that my employer needed to state in the letter and what paper it needed to be submitted on. I'm learning that you must be specific in the questions you ask. At least I know now and can move forward.

    Yes all the information I can get is a huge help.
    Thanks again,
    Rhonda
