MOS
certification offers:
- a means for individuals to demonstrate their knowledge
of the world’s most recognized and utilized suite of business
applications, as well as many important business concepts;
- a standard by which employers can recruit candidates
with the most current desktop skills;
- a baseline for academic institutions to measure
desktop preparation;
- a means for training organizations to verify and
measure training results;
- a tool corporations can use to elevate productivity;
- and a nationally recognized
credential which both employers and job applicants can use for successful
placement.
The Specialist exam is not a written test. Instead, it features real-world assignments that are based on the way you actually use your computer. Using an actual document, for example, you'll be asked to perform a series of tasks that clearly demonstrate your desktop computing skills.
The typical exam takes less than an hour -- and in some cases as little as 30 minutes. It all depends on how efficiently you work. In addition to measuring your skills, each exam also gauges your productivity.
And the reward for passing? A Microsoft Office Specialist certificate -- proof that you've got the desktop-computing skills you need to work more productively and more efficiently than many of your co-workers. SOMETHING THAT WILL BE VERY IMPRESSIVE ON YOUR RESUME.
That's good news to anyone in charge of hiring -- and promoting!
