      I am teaching at university from long time and I would like to become a Microsoft Certified Trainer. It seems the certification is well recognized and it will give me the chance to move to more private companies. Thank you for showing me the way!

      Hi Team,
      My MCT has expired, I missed the renewal and now when I tried to renew it, I was given the option of MCT Alumni program instead of “MCT”.
      I need your assistance for the originial MCT instead of alumni program.

      Thanks,
      Santosh

        Hi,
        please check you meet the MCT program requirements as described in the page. Check also the status of your Microsoft qualifications eligible for the MCT program as role based certifications need to be renewed once a year.

        If you meet requirements and your certifications are still okay, the support forum at the page https://aka.ms/mctforum can help escalating the case.
