Anyone know a CCI?

[JWR1972]

Just curious if anyone is or knows of a CCI? I am thinking of becoming one after my CCEA. I need some details on how the 4-day Trainer course is.

Thanks

I know a couple of CCIs in the UK, and there's a good guy in the US called Ronald Oglesby.

He might know of someone nearer to you - and is a very helpful chap!

You need an MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) or other evidence of training abilities before Citrix will allow you to attend the CCI course - it's quite tough.

Hope this helps CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks for the info. I am going to apply for MCT in October when the new MCT calendar starts and then work on the CCI. I know there can't be too many CCIs. I just enjoy teaching and learning something new everyday.

I'm a CCI. It's not tough. What do you want to know?

 

[CitrixEngineer]

I think it's fairly tough in that you have to have gained MCSE before you can go for the MCT, and MCT before you can go for the CCI!

Also, speaking to my contacts, I understand that you need to make several presentations, one of which is videoed.

Is the MCT similar? CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk

Well, 'tough' can be relative. That being said, becoming a CCI is not all that difficult in my opinion. That WAS the question that started this thread. I was an MCT when I became a CCI almost five years ago, so it was a simple matter. But you don't need to be an MCT if you have another training certification such as the CTT. As far as the Train the Trainer course, you will teach a section of the course and be evaluated and given feedback. The course is relaxed, and for those who like to teach, quite easy. You do have to pay though, so if you are footing the bill yourself, that could be a pain.
