MOUS Master Instructor Fee: $95


8/1/2001 -- Microsoft has announced fees for its new MOUS Master Instructor certification.

New applicants to the program will be charged $95. Those previously certified as MOUS Authorized Instructors (MOUS AIs) will be charged $50 if they apply for the program before Dec. 31, 2001.

Microsoft replaced the MOUS AI program with the MOUS Master Instructor title in July. The education requirements for both titles are very similar, but candidates for the MOUS Master Instructor title must pass at least three more exams than the MOUS AI required.

Microsoft also announced benefits for those who become Master Instructors. They include a pin, wallet card, certificate and monthly newsletter.

8/1/01: Robert says: I think the slight increase in cost will pale compared to what Nivo/Microsoft will reap from those having to invest in up to 3 additional exams.
8/1/01: Joseph says: Hey, the recertification fee of $50 isn't bad. in fact it's less than the cost of any single MOUS exam. At under $100 its reasonable.
8/2/01: Rob says: Hey I note that the new program now gives a wallet card and a lapel badge for $95 but the newsletter they are promoting to us is for all MOUS masters not specifically for Master instructors they are still playing the game of giving away freebies (actually we are paying $95 for what is probably less than $10 worth of ggods) and not communicating or doing anything to promote MOUS
8/4/01: Disappointed says: The benefits you receive for this program are poor. No logo or polo style shirts will be used for this program. The 1 email I received from Nivo was that a lousy t-shirt is available for a fee but their will not be a logo available. Nivo/Microsoft need to treat the MOUS program and MOUS Master Instructor with respect instead it is being treated as a useless certification program. This is just another case of a fee for nothing program.
8/5/01: Ralph says: I paid $50 for the AI, and now I've got to pay $50 more to keep my instructor cert. $100. New MOUS instructors pay $95.
8/6/01: Robert says: The new MOUS MI is ALL about money and MORE money. Who gains? The certifieds or NIVO or Microsoft? 6 Aug 2001.
8/6/01: Joseph says: Who cares about polo shirts, free pens, etc? Those things don't prove anything. The only thing that has value is the certificate. Microsoft/Nivo isn't obligated to give anything else. We aren't employees!!! Every vendor recertification costs money, not just Microsoft. I think the MOUS program is the least expensive.
8/6/01: Joseph says: If you are a new MOUS MI, the fee is $95. If you're upgrading your MOUS AI to MOUS MI, it's only $50 for each track (Office 97, Office 2000, Office XP 2002) you wish to instruct.
8/6/01: Anonymous says: Joseph, from reading your comments above and other articles one would come to believe that you work for Microsoft/Nivo because you are always defending Microsoft/Nivo and criticizing anyone who says anything negative. You just don't get it this is suppose to be a better program but you receive less benefits but at a higher cost. I know from experience that the polo shirts, the little things helps make the program worthwhile. It allows the students to see that you have proof of certification and it is free advertising for the program when people see the logo on a professional looking shirt.
8/6/01: Anonymous says: For great benefits of a application program, including usage of a logo, go to Corel. They are not embarased to have trainers display that they are certified on their application products.
