Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!

No experience, but I would imagine it is a similar concept to being a franchisee.
i.e. You have to buy your training material from MS at the price they set. -

I am considering becoming a Learning Center , but it is just an idea at this time. I don't have classrooms etc. As for the requirements you need at least 2 mcses I guess , plus the fee .Comment
