Because I took the User Certification and not the ProAdvisor course, the price was lower. The $475 is a good price in reference to the price list I have. I'm going to begin my certification in May/June.
I haven't gotten any hits from the Intuit web site, but during networking meetings like QB Meetups, there has been mention of people seeing my listing.
I'm looking forward to a bright future with Intuit as QB fits perfectly with my other skills and services.
