For this month’s blog, I thought I’d do something a little different. I’ve talked about how I rely on others to be my eyes and ears when it comes to exam security. Our Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCT) are a big part of that process. We rely on them to not only prepare students to pass our exams and get skilled, but we also rely on them to be an integral part of the security efforts here. Because I’m not often in a classroom setting, I reached out to an MCT for her perspective on what students should look for when it comes to security and a good instructor. Rachel Jones is a software developer and trainer who teaches throughout the country as well as internationally. She holds degrees in both Computer Science and Business. Rachel serves as a Subject Matter Expert to Microsoft and is passionate about helping others prepare for careers in the IT industry by developing quality certifications and curriculum. She holds several industry certifications such as, MCSD, MCPD, MTA, MCLC, MOS, and CTT+. I asked Rachel a few questions about how security in a classroom comes into play. Kerri: What kinds of things should an instructor be doing to prepare students to take an exam fairly and without taking security risks? What should students look for? Rachel: Students should look for an Instructor that upholds a high level of integrity. A good instructor will cover test objectives and provides examples but never give out specific test questions. If an instructor ever encourages you to use brain dump sites to pass the test, this is a good sign that his/her method of teaching may also lack in quality. Instructors should provide an overview of the test objectives and give real-world examples of applied knowledge. Specific test questions and answers should not be discussed in the classroom. Also, it’s a good practice to remind students that while working in a team environment, they should not share answers to the test as it devalues its credibility. Q. Should students care how a trainer prepares them for an exam, as long as they pass it? open in browser PRO version

A. Yes, because training should be centered around learning to use the skill in a real world environment. Passing the certification should be evidence of the result and not the result, itself. It would be like an earning a driver’s license without knowing how to drive! Q. Should students be concerned when an MCT points to or uses brain dump (or other illicitly-obtained) material? Or should they leave that responsibility to Microsoft and/or the Learning Partner? A. As an instructor, it’s my responsibility to uphold the value of the certification process. Encouraging brain dump sites devalues the certification which is a reflection on me as well as the certification. How students view the credibility of certification begins with me! If I, as the instructor, adhere to a high standard, it will most likely affect how the student views the process. As a student, it’s important to be part of the effort to reduce cheating on certification exams. When others cheat, it devalues the efforts of hardworking, honest certified professionals. Q. What should a student do if they think an instructor is promoting use of such materials? A. The first line of defense would be to discuss the concern directly with the instructor and the training center. If the instructor continues to promote materials and practices you feel are unethical, you should let Microsoft know. They have processes in place to harshly penalize those that do not maintain the ethical standards set forth by the MCT program. (Note from Kerri: Feel free to use the mlsecure@microsoft.com alias to report any concerns.) Q. How can students let instructors know when they are doing a good job teaching and upholding security standards? A. Most courses end with an evaluation process. Instructors truly value hearing student feedback. In addition to completing the standard 1-9 ratings, take the extra minute to write in a comment on how you appreciate the instructors’ high ethical standard. This open in browser PRO version

provides reinforcement to the instructor. In addition, these evaluations are also sent to Microsoft and provide valuable information to them. On the flip side, if you feel the instructor violated the integrity of the MCT program, let him/her know in the evaluation.
