What is the value of a certification 

In a world where competition for jobs, pay increases, and academic success continues to increase, certifications offer hope because they are a credible, third-party assessment of one’s skill and knowledge for a given subject.
​
The Microsoft Office Specialist certifications that are available are Word Associate, Excel Associate, PowerPoint Associate, Outlook Associate, Access Expert, Word Expert & Excel Expert. The Microsoft 365 Apps and Office 2019 exams have been mapped to one set of revised objective domains to reflect the skills required in today’s modern workplace. The Microsoft Office Specialist Program now has multiple levels: Associate and Expert. Students still earn a certification for each exam they pass, however if a student earns any three of the four available associate certifications they will become a Microsoft Office Specialist - Associate and earn an additional certification for their accomplishment..

If students would like to advance even further and earn their Associate certification and any two of the three available expert certifications they will become a Microsoft Office Specialist - Expert and achieve the highest certification within the Microsoft Office Specialist Program.

​Some of the key benefits of certification include:

• Validation of knowledge
• Increased marketability
• Increased earning power
• Enhanced academic performance
• Improved reputation
• Enhanced credibility
• Increased confidence
• Respect from peers
