How to Open a Microsoft Certified Training Center

If you've already obtained the proper Microsoft certification, you may qualify to teach others in this area of software. With the right knowledge and the help of other trained Microsoft professionals, you can open your own training center. A good training center will offer programs and lessons for all levels of a Microsoft education. You may want to hire several employees to help you cover these areas.

• 1

  Complete the appropriate education and certification requirements. To become a fully certified Microsoft professional, you need at least two years of IT experience. After completing this you can go through the Microsoft certification program. A background in IT education, such as an associate's degree, is also helpful.

  Choose an office and classroom facility where you can accommodate students, staff and faculty. You may want several classroom areas so that you can hold multiple classes at the same time. An office area is necessary for administrative duties such as maintaining student files.

• 3

  Buy equipment and resources for your facility and students. You'll need computers, desks and chairs, as well as books and Microsoft software. You can either install the software for students to use while at the school, or keep a larger inventory and become a distributor of the necessary resources.

  Hire a staff and faculty. Focus on choosing people who are knowledgeable and certified in the specific area in which they will teach. Solicit applications and resumes, then conduct interviews.
