Microsoft® Office Specialist
The Microsoft® Office Specialist program is the only comprehensive certification program designed to validate desktop computer skills using Microsoft® Office Applications.
Microsoft® Office Specialist improves computer literacy, measures proficiency, improves productivity and identifies opportunities for skills enhancement. The exams are not a written test. Instead, they feature real-world assignments that are based on the way people actually use their computer. Using an actual document, for example, students will be asked to perform a series of tasks that clearly demonstrate their desktop computing skills.
AP Courses is an authorised testing and training centre for the Microsoft® Office Specialist exams. Upon gaining the award a certificate is awarded. This is a valuable credential recognised worldwide.
