IAT has been listed as a Presentation skills provider for Microsoft Certified Trainer Certification. IAT Certified Trainer Course received approval from Microsoft making IAT the first and only recognized Presentation Skills Training providers for the East African region.

Through this accreditation, IAT will be able to conduct Training for Trainers, especially those working towards attaining the MCT certification from Microsoft. Microsoft only recognizes MCT's as the approved trainers to conduct the wide range of Microsoft's ICT training programs. Other training institutions that intend to or are currently conducting any Microsoft training, can also send their trainers to IAT to acquire the certification. The training will also be suitable for individuals aspiring to develop training skills especially for professional (technical) training programs; even if they don't intend to focus on Microsoft courses alone.

Mr. Thomas Gitumbi, IAT's General Manager for East Africa was elated by the news of the accreditation.

"This is a significant milestone for IAT", Mr. Gitumbi said.

The IAT Certified Trainer Course is designed to equip the participants (instructors-to-be) with the professional and (minimum) technical skills necessary for effective management of the teaching and learning process. The course is specifically designed to prepare participants for the MCT Certification program from Microsoft.

IAT's Country Manager Ms. Wangui Mwangi was full of praise for the IAT team that has developed the course. "Our becoming a Presentation Skills Provider for MCT Certification for the Eastern Africa region is great news!" Ms. Wangui added.

IAT intends to roll out the course to Trainers offering Microsoft courses (and would like to attain the MCT certification), newly recruited teaching staff before they are assigned actual classes and formal teachers wishing to improve their training skills.
