Hi all,
My name is Tjeerd, that s a strange name even in The Netherlands where I m from and pronounced as Cheered , and I just earned the dubious Last to join the blog team Award...
I work on the Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) program and work closely with Bill who you may already have seen on this blog. 13.000 Trainers all over the world are training hundreds of thousands on Microsoft Technology! It is really cool to see that happening in all kinds of countries, inside all kinds of cultures and surroundings, and wherever you go you sense that strong passion for technology!
Right now we are working to organize a series of events known as the MCT Summits. Conferences where trainers from all over the world gather to hear about new technology so that they can train people on new technology at a very early stage, sometimes before the product is actually released! We ll be blogging over the next three months as we set these events up, we intend to run a large number of them and there is never a dull moment. Also, if you are considering becoming an MCT, you may want to look out for one of these events near you as we also offer a bootcamp by which we prepare you for a fast entry into the program. The event will live on www.mctsummit2009.com and we will be adding information on that site over the next few months. The event is really meant for MCTs or people who want to become one, if you re interested in the MCT program, check out www.microsoft.com/mct.
And, totally unrelated to any of the above, if you want to see something really cool that shows you more about our training and certification tracks, check out this cool online catalogue that was developed by our team in Europe: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/momentumemea
Enjoy the day!
Tjeerd
