Microsoft Technology Associate ( MTA ) is an entry-level Microsoft certification that validates the fundamental knowledge of those new to IT who need to start building a career in Microsoft technologies.
With a modest investment of time and resources, candidates can build a foundational understanding in the areas of IT Infrastructure, Database or Development.
ONLC Training Centers, a Microsoft Gold Partner, has the Microsoft authorized MTA classes that will help you prepare for MTA certification.
Classes are hands-on, instructor-led training offered at our more than 300 training locations. Not near one of our sites? Attend the same live classes from the convenience of your home/office PC via our Remote Classroom Instruction (RCI™) technology.
MTA is appropriate for individuals who have an interest in starting a career in IT or wish to further their learning. MTA is an excellent stepping stone to MCSA, MCSE and MCSD certifications and provides an option for those not yet ready to pursue more advanced credentials.
