I don't know if I'd waste the money on IGI unless you 1) cannot afford your CFII and 2) have a job offer teaching instrument ground that requires an IGI.
Having the AGI/IGI on your certs is meaningless as far as your career goes, and even more meaningless if you have flight instructor ratings. The money is better spent on beer or hookers.

I paid the money to get the AGI and IGI because the school I was training at was going to pay me to teach groundschool while I worked on my CFI/CFII so for me the $150 was a good investment (offer was 50% of the tuition from as many students as I could get in class - I typically had 8 to 10).
As a professional instructor - and yes you can make money at it by charging the right fees and getting the right clients - it may be worthwhile to have the AGI/IGI. Better credential is the master CFI which is much harder to get and keep as it must be renewed every two years. Again, these are for "professional instructors" not those seeking a career elsewhere.

Buckle down and get off the forums. I finished at UVU while working full time. I have 2 college age sons now. I know what I am talking about.

UVU lost their 141 cert. Well, revoked i should say, more or less i would never go there to fly.
I am reading and studying the material, the man does know his stuff, its just a matter of how he teaches it. Being a first year teacher is understandable for me, but not in instrument ground.
