Microsoft Office Specialist Program

Microsoft Office 2019 

Microsoft Office 2019 is a previous version of the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification program that covers the updated features and tools introduced in the 2019 application. Like its predecessor, it provides “Live-in-the-Application” certification exams that validate knowledge in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Each certification exam is 50-minutes and provides multiple projects per exam, ensuring accurate skill validation and results. It incorporates Microsoft Office 2019 features including 3D models, morph animations, slide zooms, excel functions, ink, and more.

Just about every business is using Microsoft Office. If you have documented computer skills, you will be seen as more qualified to do the job. Employers recognize the importance of those skills.

Become a Microsoft Office Specialist Associate or Expert

Leverage the power of combining certifications to demonstrate advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office with the MOS Associate or Expert certifications. Students earn a certification for each MOS exam they pass, but if a student earns any three of the four available associate certifications, they will become a Microsoft Office Specialist - Associate and earn an additional certification for their accomplishment. They can advance even further once they earn their Associate certification and earn two of the Microsoft Office Specialist – Expert exams and achieve the highest certification within the MOS program.
