MCT Annual Membership

The MCT Program is an annual membership. To maintain your MCT qualification and benefits, you must renew your membership each year prior to your expiration date. If your MCT status has expired, you will be required to reinstate your MCT status to rejoin the program.

MCT expiration date will not be anymore on the transcript, but you will find in the new MCT Portal .

Requirements to renew your MCT status

  • Review and agree to the MCT Program Agreement on the MCT Portal
  • Possess a current Microsoft Certification or qualification eligible for the MCT program (see MCT Qualifying credential).
  • Meet the minimum instruction requirement of teaching at least one class, as validated by Metrics that Matter (MTM) OR any other survey tool.

MCT Qualifying credential

Your Microsoft Learn user profile must include an Associate or Expert level advanced role-based certification. This requirement for an Associate or Expert certification ensures MCTs possess advanced technical knowledge in Microsoft products and services.

  • The Microsoft Learn credentials site provides details on all role-based certifications.
    • Only credentials for technical Roles qualify for MCT status. This excludes non-technical Roles, such as Business User and Business Owner.
    • And, only those credentials denoting “Associate” or “Expert” in the certification title will qualify you for MCT Program enrollment or renewal.
    • Please note that Microsoft Office Specialist certifications do not qualify for MCT enrollment. For instance, the MOS Excel Expert certification is not an MCT-qualifying credential.

Note Microsoft Certifications and qualifications eligible for the MCT program are subject to change. All new role-based certification will become eligible for the MCT Program once they are released. Certifications that are retired will be eligible for the MCT program up to 6 months following the retirement date. To learn more about retiring certifications, visit: Certification retirement.
