MCT Requirements
Hello Everyone, Just I need your assistance to help me to become a MCT. I have completed and passed in the following exams (through Certiport): Microsoft Word 2016 Expert. Microsoft Word 2016. Microsoft Excel 2016. Microsoft PowerPoint 2016. My problems are: I can't see my certificates and transcript in the Microsoft Website, and also when I started the process in the MCT enrollment website it show that I didn't meet the requirements (We're sorry, but in order to apply to the MCT program, you will need one of the required qualifying certifications.). So kindly assist. Thank you.
