Prove it
The Microsoft Office Specialist program assesses cutting-edge skills and knowledge through project-based tests, offering students and professionals hands-on exercises to evaluate their understanding of Microsoft Office. Certified users can prove their ability to master the full range of Microsoft Office features and functionality, preparing them for future academic or career opportunities.
