Important Program Clarification

FDTEC Certified Instructor™ Is an Independent Professional Certification

This page retains a legacy URL from FDTEC's historical Microsoft Certified Trainer-related business. The URL is being preserved to maintain continuity for visitors, existing links, and search history.

FDTEC Certified Instructor™ is now an independent, cross-platform professional instructor certification. Enrollment in the current FDTEC program does not represent enrollment in Microsoft's MCT program and does not require payment of Microsoft MCT program fees to FDTEC.

Earning FDTEC certification does not grant Microsoft MCT status and does not automatically authorize the holder to teach proprietary Microsoft or other vendor content. Vendor-specific certification, authorization, licensing, contractual requirements, or intellectual-property permissions may still apply within individual technology ecosystems.

FCI is designed to complement existing technical, industry, vendor, professional, or subject-matter expertise by developing and validating professional instructor capability.
