Microsoft Office Certifications are optional credentials that demonstrate specific competence in one or more Microsoft Office programs. The Microsoft Office Specialist Certification allows candidates to showcase their abilities and proficiency in Microsoft computer programs. Certification options include MS Word, MS Excel, or MS PowerPoint, and individuals can pursue certification in multiple programs.
Before taking the Microsoft certification exam, individuals have the flexibility to choose between self-learning and participating in formal computer training courses and workshops. There are no prerequisites for the MOS certification exam. Let’s discuss the steps to become a Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS):
1. Acquire Basic Computer Skills:
Before pursuing Microsoft Office Specialist Certification, candidates need to possess basic computer skills. If necessary, they can enroll in a basic computer program to gain fundamental knowledge, especially if they have limited or no computer skills. Alternatively, they may choose a program that focuses on specific skills, such as internet usage.
2. Enroll in Microsoft Office Courses:
The next step involves enrolling in Microsoft Office training courses. While individuals can self-learn Microsoft Office programs, professional courses and workshops provide comprehensive training on using all features of Microsoft Office software. These courses cover MS Word, MS Excel, MS Access, Outlook, or PowerPoint.
3. Choose a Certification Program:
To obtain Microsoft Office Specialist Certification, individuals must select a certification program based on the specific software they want to become certified in. Certification is available for all Microsoft Office programs, with each program requiring a separate exam. For instance:
- MOS Word certification is suitable for those who create and update documents like newsletters, invitations, press releases, or manuals.
- MOS Access certification is ideal for individuals responsible for managing and creating databases.
- MOS PowerPoint certification is recommended for professionals who regularly give presentations.
- MOS Outlook certification is beneficial for those working in firms that use Microsoft Outlook as a closed and secure email system.
