On July 23 and 24, two 30-minute sessions of the MCT Town Hall meeting were presented by Allison Kraker (Waddell), the MCT Program Manager. Lire la version fr

The Highlights

Here's what I catched from the presentation.

1. Microsoft is accelerating the momentum related to the new role-based certifications by:
1. The enrichment of its Microsoft Learn online training platform, which will be open to its Partners, who will be able to offer, among other things, training content.
2. The organization of training events of different sizes such as the "Microsoft Ignite Tour".
3. The enrichment of the offer of classroom training rlated to the new solutions.
4. The introduction of new certifications and new role-based certifications levels (in addition to the MCSA and MCSE, the Fundamental level appeared a few months ago and a new level "Specialty" is under development)
2. The new "MCT Store" is operational and is accessible from the following url: https://mctmerchandise.com/.
   For now, it allows to claim the MCT and Anniversaries kits but the MSL team plans to add other products.

Recommendations

To close her presentation, Allison made the following recommendations:

• Familiarize yourself with MS Learn
• Submit for Ignite Call for Content
• Check out the new MCT Store
• Take advantage of the 75% MCT exam discount - get certified!
• Review latest Title Plan for MOC release.

Résumé du MCT Town Hall de ce mois de Juillet 2019

Les 23 et 24 juillet dernier, deux sessions, de 30 minutes, du MCT Town Hall ont été présentées par Allison Kraker (Waddell) la manager du Programme MCT.

Voici les points marquants que je retiens

1. Microsoft va accélérer la dynamique en rapport avec les nouvelles certifications basées sur les rôles par :
   
1. L'enrichissement de sa plateforme de formation en ligne Microsoft Learn qui sera notamment ouverte à ses Partenaires qui pourrons ainsi, et entre autres, proposer du contenu de formation.
   
2. L'organisation d'événement de différentes envergures en rapport avec la formation tel que le "Microsoft Ignite Tour".
   
3. L'enrichissement de l'offre de formation en classe en rapport avec les nouvelles solutions.
   
4. La mise en place de nouvelles certifications (en plus des MCSA et MCSE, le niveau Fondamentale a fait son apparition il y a quelques semaines et un nouveau niveau "Spécialité" est en court d'élaboration)
   
2. Le nouveau "MCT Store" est opérationnel et est accessible à partir de l'url suivante : https://mctmerchandise.com/.
   Pour l'instant, il permet de réclamer les kits MCT et Anniversaires mais l'équipe MSL prévoit d'y ajouter d'autres produits.

Les recommandations

Pour clôturer sa présentation, Allison a fait les recommandations suivantes:

• Familiarisez-vous avec Miscorsoft Learn.
  
• Soumettez vos contenus pour Ignite. Attention vous avez jusqu'au 03/08/2019.
  
• Découvrez le nouveau MCT Store
  
• Profitez de l'offre spéciale pour les MCT "réduction de 75% sur 20 examens de certification" et certifiez-vous. Attention l'offre expire le 03/09/2019.
