The Importance of MCTs and MCT Regional Leads for TSPs - Brief Overview (Issue 1)

Good day, and a warm Welcome

I would like to discuss the importance of MCTs and MCT Regional Leads for all TSPs. The purpose of this is to provide a brief overview of the roles.

MCTs:

Now to put it simply an MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) is the go to professional for all your training needs. Not only do most of them provide you with excellent client service, they also provide knowledge and in most cases a vast amount of experience. Using MCTs to train your clients allows you to complete MTMs which in facts allows the you to reach your training targets set out. 

MCTs are the Only Professionals that are allowed to provide Training on Most Microsoft Services and it has been the standard for decades now to have MCTs provide training. Provided that they provide training in their specific specialty in which they are certified in.

MCT Regional Leads:

MCT Regional Leads are there to support, guide and help MCTs in their respective regions and/or the world. They have the most vital job function and that is to be there not only for the MCTs but to help TSPs find talent, evaluate resources and many more in and effort to have the best training experiences. Overall the MCT Regional Leads allows MCTs to have some senior to look to for assistance or advice. (As we can all agree that without a proper structure/leader everything becomes a challenge).

In General MCTs and Regional Leads have their own community called the "MCT Lounge" where they engage with thousands of trainers world wide, sharing and participating in activities such as:

• Answer Question
• Create and Share Content
• Organize Online Events
• Organize In-Person Events
• Train-the-Trainer Initiatives

and many more... 🙂

I hope this clears up some questions for New and Existing TSPs.

Please do leave a reply should you have any questions so the MCTs and Regional Leads will be able to assist 🙂

Kind Regards

Phillip Roos (MCT Regional Lead, South Africa)
