7/26/2001 -- Those of you waiting to find out what MOUS Master Instructor fees will be may not have to wait much longer.

A representative for Microsoft told CertCities Wednesday that full details for the new title will be released as soon as next week. The spokesperson could not give any information on what the details would be, but did say it would be a "full program roll-out."

Most of the requirements for the certification -- including exams and educational background -- have already been announced on the MOUS section of Microsoft's Web site. However, the program's fees have not yet been posted.

Complete details of the program were originally expected to be released in early July, just days after the certification's predecessor, the MOUS Authorized Instructor, was retired. No reason has been given for the delay in announcing the pricing and other details, such as what will replace the logo that was formerly given to MOUS AIs.

CertCities will bring you more on this story as it develops. --B.N.
