How to get to be a trainer?

You can start off by here:

Remove any spaces from the link. This is all you need to know to become a Microsoft Certified Trainer. Then you can start buying books reading them to get ready for the tests. Then you take the test, pass them, and you eventually get a job training people with Microsoft..

have you applied for a training job? let your resume do the talking.

While many training role require certification, there are many that are looking for the "right" type of person. I used to managed technology training and when recruiting, it was more important to feel people that would be able to adjust to all the different "student" personally and the ability to communicate the training material in a way that was well accepted by all. Try looking at some corporation that may have in house training team. Good Luck.

Try Computer stores like Best Buy or CompUSA, they may offer free classes to their customers. They may have in-house certifications tests, you can have proof of your knowledge if you have certification.

Every answer here is good. I would add though that if you want
to find work in this field and do not have the experience then try
a private training company. Many hire people and then trin them
in their classes with their manuals and in their training style.
They have classes that do not require certs to teach, such as beg
Windows, word etc, and then may pay for cert traing and tests.
the examples that come to mind both teach many fortune 500
companies as well. I started my teaching career at ExecuTrain
which is worldwide. I take all my cert tests at New Horizons.
While I had the experience many new trainers sat in our classes
to learn the product.
