While proficiency in Microsoft Office is essential in most professional settings, earning a Microsoft Office Associate certification signifies that you have a deep level of skills needed to use the Office suite.
The Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Associate Certification Training course will teach you how to use the Microsoft Office suite at an advanced level. You will build your expertise through hands-on exercises, in-depth course material, and supplemental video demonstrations. You will also prepare for the certification exams for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. As you prepare for each exam, you will test your skills at regular intervals with quizzes and exams.
By course completion, you will be fully prepared to take the MO-200 and MO-201 (Excel), MO-100 and MO-101 (Word), MO-300 and MO-310 (PowerPoint), and MO-400 (Outlook) exams. To earn the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Associate Certification, you must successfully complete 3 Associate level exams of your choosing.
This course offers enrollment with or without vouchers. The vouchers are prepaid access to sit for the certifying exams upon eligibility. Proctor fees may apply, which are not included.
