SYNOPSIS
Microsoft’s MOS (Microsoft
Office Specialist) certification is meant for people in any industry and with various
job roles who want to demonstrate a high-level of proficiency with Microsoft’s
Office applications. Microsoft has positioned MOS exams such that they provide
a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise by
evaluating your overall comprehension of Office or Microsoft Project
applications, your ability to use their advanced features, and your ability to
integrate the Office applications with other software applications.
The MOS
got its start back in 1998 as the MOUS certification, Microsoft Office User
Specialist, with exams on Office 97 applications. In mid 2002, Microsoft
changed the name to MOS as well as stopped certifying people on Office 97
products. However, these Office 97 certifications “will not be retired or
otherwise invalidated.” The same lifetime rule applies to the new MOS
certifications. There are no prerequisites for MOS certifications, although
some MOS certifications build on others.
Passing
any single Core MOS exam, offered in more than 100 countries and in 18 different
languages, results in a MOS certification for the related product.
In addition, there is the Microsoft
Project 2000 Core certification. This certification is appropriate for project managers,
business mangers, construction managers, network managers, webmasters, and
programmers, among other job roles.
Another perk of the MOS certification is that the
American Council on Education (ACE) has issued a one-semester
hour college credit recommendation for each Microsoft Office Specialist
certification for Microsoft Office XP applications.
