Are You a CPI Yet?

Certiport has created a new designation for instructors. CPI stands for Certified Professional Instructor. This designation is available in two areas, one that aligns with the MCAS program (Office 2007 + Vista) and another that aligns with their IC³ (digital literacy). It is an involved process to apply including passing either MCAS or IC3 Master Instructor qualifications, references, proctor and other testing administrator training. There is a fee to apply with an additional yearly fee. I am halfway through the process and will keep you updated as I go through the CPI and administrator training.
