The different kinds of Microsoft Office Specialist certifications

“

- [Instructor] Let's review the three different levels of MOS certifications that you can obtain. First, we'll take a look at the Microsoft Office Specialist. A Microsoft Office Specialist, or MOS, is an individual who's demonstrated expertise bypassing a certification exam in one or more Office programs, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, SharePoint, OneNote, or Office 365. Moving on the second level is our Microsoft Office Specialist Expert. This is an individual who has taken their knowledge of Office to the next level, demonstrating their mastering of more advanced features based on Word or Excel. The Microsoft Office Specialist Expert exams for Word and Excel consist of one exam for each program. To obtain the expert level, you need only pass the Word Expert exam or the Excel expert exam. Our final level is the Microsoft Office Specialist Master. The MOS Master is an individual who has demonstrated their expertise in Word and Excel by passing both MOS Expert exams. The MOS Master must also pass the PowerPoint exam, and one of the elective exams listed here. This course is all about preparing you for the Access 2016 Microsoft Office Specialist exam. Once you watch all the videos and complete the challenge exercises at the end of each chapter, you'll be able to move onto the full practice exam at the end of the series. When you've mastered the full practice exam in the allotted 40 minute time frame, you should be ready to do your final preparations for the live Access 2016 MOS exam.
