CoventryLearning NewsLPI (Learning and Performance Institute)

Trainers who are either gaining or renewing their Microsoft Certified Trainer status can now use the Institute of IT Training's TPMA certificate (ICTP) to satisfy the trainer skills part of the global qualification.

The Institute is delighted to announce that Microsoft will accept the joint IITT/BCS ICTP Certificate - gained through a live assessment of a trainer's delivery skills from the IITT's TPMA service - towards the Microsoft Certified Trainer certification.

The ICTP certificate satisfies the MCT requirement to 'Demonstrate instructional presentation skills'.

MCT is a globally recognised trainer certification programme, which is now open to Applications trainers, following the end of the Microsoft Master Instructor (MMI) and MCAS Instructor programmes in 2009. To achieve MCT, a trainer must pass one Microsoft qualification (MOS, MCAS, or any of many technical exams), and “demonstrate instructional presentation skills”. TPMA is now recognised by Microsoft as fulfilling this criterion.

TPMA consists of a live assessment that validates training delivery skills, which can be completed at any of many TPMA centre across the UK. Anyone who has already completed the TPMA assessment can now use it towards obtaining MCT.
