Microsoft Office Certification

There are three office certification: Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS), MOS Expert, and MOS Master. They are intended to demonstrate increasing levels of proficiency in using one or more of the five main Office apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook.

The key word here is “using”. These certs are all about using the Office apps, not installing or administering them.

We used the term “increasing levels of proficiency”, but maybe we should say “increasing breadth of proficiency”. That’s because, apart from Expert level exams for Word and Excel, specialist level exams are used at each level. You just have to pass more of them as you move up the ladder. The current certification exams are for the 2016 versions of Office apps, which are also available via cloud and outlook .

Microsoft Office Certification is the premier credential chosen by individuals seeking to validate their skills and advance their careers. Microsoft Office is a powerful service designed to unleash the best ideas, get things done and stay connected on the go.
