Microsoft Office Specialist

You can earn a Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification on Microsoft Office programs and Windows operating systems. This certification features Web-based pretests, program-specific certification exams, and a series of Microsoft Press step-by-step books that help you demonstrate expertise in accomplishing essential job tasks across multiple programs. After earning an MOS certification, you receive access to a member Web site where you can print transcripts to demonstrate proof of certification and receive a certificate that verifies your successful completion of the exam. Additionally, professionals who earn this certification gain access to a certification logo that they can display on their resumes and other business materials.

Earning a Microsoft Office Specialist certification can help you differentiate yourself in today’s competitive job market, broaden your employment opportunities by displaying your advanced skills, and result in higher earning potential. Microsoft Office Specialist certification can also lead to increased job satisfaction. Research indicates that certified individuals have increased competence, productivity, and credibility with their employers, co-workers, and clients.

The typical candidate for the MOS: PowerPoint 2010 exam is a student, office worker, or instructor who needs to navigate PowerPoint 2010 at the feature and functionality level. Users create complex slide shows, such as product plans, reports, and marketing materials. They create slide shows based on custom templates generated by others and frequently reuse slides. Their slides include sophisticated data presented in visual formats. These users know how to pause and move back and forth in slide shows, jump to specific slides, drill down to supporting data, and mark up slides.
