Knowing how to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access has done me well in life: as a business owner, a teacher, and a course developer.
What is Proficiency in Word?
The Microsoft Office Specialist certification uses computer exams to measure whether you mastered the specific skill sets in the Microsoft Office Specialist Program: Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, OneNote, and SharePoint.
You can choose which exam(s) to take according to which skills you want to validate. The Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams ask you to demonstrate that you can find, format and update the tools in Microsoft Office. The certification exams are project based, not multiple guess. You need to edit a document or create a formula.
