Microsoft Certified Master – Week 2 is not quite ‘chalk and cheese’ when compared to Week 1, but I’m certainly feeling far more positive. We settled into a routine, albeit one of grueling 15-hours-of-study-a-day one, but the results (for me) are better than last week. Plus, the end is nigh. The first week proved just a tad too much. There is an exam after each week and I failed the first one. By just over 4% (60% is the pass). A very short post on it (due to time pressures): Time to Dust Off and Move On.

I have a feeling I should have allocated the time backwards. Continue reading Career Factor Application Microsoft Certified Master Program is pricey. Apart from the $18,500 course fee, there is also the three weeks of accommodation, food & drink, as well as the return tickets from London to Seattle. Best guestimate – $25,000, assuming all goes as planned and there are no surprise costs. Of course, that doesn’t even include the loss of income that a contractor like me has to account for. Hefty! But, apparently, there is a slim chance that majority of it can be gotten for free.
