Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT)

The Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) certification is for individuals who intend to train users wanting to obtain any of the other certifications. They must have some type of certification out of the Microsoft Course, they must also prove their instructional presentation skills, obtain a "Metrics that Matter" ID, and apply and pay to become a MCT. In Australia, many MCT's have a diploma or degree in teaching either primary school or secondary education. It is also a requirement by many training companies, especially Microsoft Gold Partners to have MCT's with a degree in teaching.
