Interview with Tjeerd Veninga, Microsoft MCT Community Lead

Kasia Grabowska — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:00:02 +0000

Did you know — there are over 17,000 Microsoft Certified Trainers in 150 different countries. Microsoft Certified Trainers are experts on Microsoft technologies and include classroom and e-learning instructors, learning consultants, authors, conference presenters and even user group leaders. MCT’s are also the only individuals authorized to deliver training for Microsoft Certifications.

What does it take to become an MCT?

The bare minimum requirements to become an MCT include at least one year of experience and one of the required Microsoft certifications. But don’t be fooled, MCT’s have to meet stringent requirements each year in order to renew their certifications.

But there are also many benefits to becoming a Microsoft Certified Trainer such as free access to the complete library of Microsoft learning products, discounts on exams and books, access to newsgroups and online resources as well as exclusive events and programs.

Meet Tjeerd Veninga, MCT Community Lead

If you’re an MCT or are interested in joining the ranks, the one person you need to know is Tjeerd Veninga, MCT Community Lead at Microsoft Learning.

Tjeerd is the person that brings the MCT community together through events like the MCT Live Summit which is coming up next month and the the ongoing MCT Readiness online programs.

Tjeerd also brings a wealth of information to the table on Born to Learn helping Microsoft trainers stay in the know and continue learning.

I got a chance to meet Tjeerd at TechEd and talk to him about what he does to keep the MCT program fresh, how cloud computing has changed Microsoft learning and much more.

Tjeerd also shared the secret to what makes a trainer the best trainer.
