One thing that I don’t like about my career is the constant demanding maintenance of my certifications.
And it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
So, to clarify, I’m an MCT, which stands for Microsoft Certified Trainer. I’ve been continuously certified and delivering Microsoft content for 22 years as of this August. The real number is even longer if you go back to teaching day long seminars on how to optimize your experience running Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
For on-premises deployment, people will typically deploy a Windows Server solution with services like email, database, management, and other services. For the last twenty plus years. Microsoft has updated those package every 3-5 years. For a certified trainer, that means we have a three to five year cycle to keep our certs up to date.
Now I’m certified in Office 365 and Windows Azure.
Certification in those areas requires a little more frequent certification cycle. Annual renewal.
Ugh.

A student of mine had a wonderful analogy regarding trying to learn new things. She said her iceberg could only hold so may penguins. As something knew needed a permanent location on the iceberg, a few penguins got booted off… no more room.
Time for me to start throwing some elbows on the iceberg.
I just hope I don’t end up like Johnny Mnemonic and have to sacrifice my childhood memories for an extra terabyte of data.
Peace, y’all
