The Instructional Skills Certificate is a requirement for anyone to become a Microsoft Certified Trainer. However, the two to four days course is only the first step in starting to work as an MCT, and it can be difficult to know what is really important and what less so. In what is hoped to be an interactive session, Marc will draw upon his experience of twenty-five years as an MCT and decade as a Regional Lead to cover business relationships, community, contracts, quality and what is both expected of you and of importance, while warning you of risks and traps.
I will likely develop this from suggestions of other Regional Leads and might ask some to join me on stage
Marc is a typical specimen of an “Alpine Geek” (Nerdus Alpinus), having delivered courses in two languages and multiple countries for over 25 years, but living in a three-hundred year old chalet in the Swiss Alps that only got broadband Internet in 2009. He works with Microsoft subsidiaries, particularly around Partner Readiness, presents at various Microsoft conferences (TechED, TechDays, MCT Summits) and was the longest-serving member of the MCT Advisory Council. He currently serves the Microsoft Certified Trainer community as the MCT Regional Lead for Switzerland.
