Just letting everyone know that MCT Sweden (a community initiative) now have been formalized and were starting a website, blog and private native language forums. Also working on alot more features to offer swedish MCTs on the site such as online profiles and blog functionality. Amongst the fun things that we will offer in complement to what is offererd from Microsoft is:

* local swedish discounts (several about to be signed)
* real courses in pedagody and TTTs in local language
* quarterly events in stockholm, gothenburg and malmoe
* discount at accounting services (many of us are freelancers)
* social events

MCT sweden is not affiliated with any CPLS, nor are we ar religous group or anything like that. We´re just a bunch of MCTs creating some additional advantages of beeing a MCT. Maximizing the network advantages of the highly skilled professionals in the MCT programe. The group main objective is to raise the already high standards of MCTs. Providing aspects such as soft skills and other things that we need to be good at technology.

There is still lots to do and if you are a Swedish (scandinavian?) MCT and would like to participate, or help with the community dont hesitate to  vistit the website. (Mind it’s still on some poor hardware so could be kind of slow at the moment)… http://www.mctsweden.se
