Consumer electronics retailer Best Buy has trained 300 Microsoft Certified Professionals on its way to a goal of 900 MCPs as it ramps up its services capabilities for a major push into small business sales.

The Microsoft Training business unit unveiled the numbers on Thursday to highlight the adoption of its certifications by a major retailer.

Earlier this year, Microsoft?s partner organization called attention to Best Buy?s efforts to play by Microsoft certification rules when the Minneapolis-based company became the first national retailer to attain Gold Certified Partner status.
