IAMCT ATT Programme (MCTECT)
MCT Europe have been approved from IAMCT to deliver and manage the ATT programme. The IAMCT Approved Technical Trainer is a teaching certification that enables you to apply for status as a MCT. For current MCTs it's a good way to refresh and keep your skills. The training is priced to only cover IAMCTs costs of arranging the training and therefore the prices will vary between countries. The certification is accepted by Microsoft Learning to show presentation skills just as a CTT+ from CompTIA. You will obtain a diploma after a successful examination. Before becomming a certified MCT you will also need to have one technical exam within the area of your teaching MCTS, MCITP, MCPD etc.
