What is a Microsoft Office Specialist? A Microsoft Office Specialist is a person who has passed an exam in one of the Microsoft Office products. These exams are given only at Microsoft Authorized Testing Centers, such as the one on the Wayne Campus of The University of Akron. It is advisable to study before taking the exams. The courses offered by Software Training will help you to do this.
Why become a Microsoft Office Specialist? This certification verifies that you have the necessary skills in Microsoft programs, such as Excel and Word. As employers look for verification of employee software skills, this is a way to stand out and show your credentials as a specialist in the software that a job requires.
