More than 239,000 entrants between the ages of 13 and 22 qualified for the MOS U.S. National Online Championship by earning a MOS certification in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. To achieve winning honors, students needed to earn a top score, with elapsed time completing the exam as a tie breaking factor.

“Although we couldn’t host a live competition this year, we were highly impressed by the scores and technical mastery of this year’s students,” said Ray Murray, Vice President and General Manager – IT, Pearson VUE. “These students showed that despite substantial obstacles, they’re able to leverage their certification skills in a high-pressure environment. Their Microsoft certifications and success in this competitive event will be the first step to a successful career.”

“The MOS U.S. and World Championships give students the incredible opportunity to test their technical skills and knowledge,” said Anthony Salcito, VP, Education Industry at Microsoft. “We look forward to seeing how these students leverage their skills in their future educational and career pursuits.”
