The Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) suite of certification products helps schools teach and validate core IT infrastructure, software development, and database administration knowledge. Becoming MTA certified provides students with IT career exploration opportunities and confidence, while allowing them to demonstrate aptitude for more advanced certifications, internships, apprenticeships, and some entry-level jobs.

Over 95% of companies around the world use Microsoft products and solutions to help run their business.* Microsoft Certifications remain the method by which IT pros and developers stand out from their peers and by which employers recognize candidates/employees who have the skills they are looking for.

For those new to IT, MTA is the optional starting point and stepping stone to all Microsoft Certifications.

Integrating the MTA Campus License in your IT program will help your institution stand out as an innovative technology curriculum provider while offering students an opportunity to earn a Microsoft Certification right in the classroom.

MTA exams are based on high-demand industry career tracks and designed by Microsoft Learning experts and professional educators. Each exam has a companion MTA certification exam review kit and MTA student study guide designed to supplement the courseware already in use by educators.

An MTA Campus License allows institutions to deliver MTA exams to all registered students on campus, as well as to faculty and staff, as a development resource. Contact your school administrator to find out if your school is an approved MTA testing center.

If your school is not already an MTA testing center, a faculty member or administrator can contact a Certiport sales consultant to learn how to obtain an MTA campus license.
