Hi folks,
I manage the Microsoft Certified Trainer program for Microsoft, and I wanted
to let you know that on October 1, we launched our new MCT 2005 program.
MCTs are the only audience that Microsoft recognizes and promotes to teach
our official learning products to our customers, and it's an extremely
passionate and active community.
If you spend even part of your time teaching Microsoft products and
technologies to IT professionals and developers, I encourage you to check
out the new program--visit
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mct for
details.
One new change this year that you may not be aware of: we now accept
trainers into the program with MCDST, MCSA, and MCAD credentials (in the
past, we required MCSE, MCSD, or MCDBA only). There are restrictions around
what you're authorized to teach, however, so check out the program guide for
full details.
There's also a great slate of benefits for MCTs this year, including:
* free access to all Official Microsoft Learning Products and MBS Learning
Products via the MCT Download Center
* 45% discount on MCP and MBS exams (20% discount in countries where exams
are priced below $125 US)
* 38% discount on TechNet Plus
* free access to all e-learning courses at
www.microsoftelearning.com (North
America, EMEA only)
* 50% discount on all MS Pree books (North America only)
* exclusive, member-only newsgroups
....and more.
I'll be hanging out in the microsoft.public.cert.mct newsgroup to answer
questions, but you're also welcome to e-mail me directly if you have
questions.
I hope you'll consider joining us year!
