About Microsoft® Office Specialist Certification  

Certiport created the world’s only globally recognized, standards-based credential for validating desktop computer skills: Microsoft® Office Specialist certification. Because Microsoft® Office Specialist is the official Microsoft® Office certification for desktop productivity, it is the premier credential chosen by individuals seeking to validate their skills and advance their careers.

Microsoft® Office Specialist (formerly also known as MOUS) exams use "live" or real applications to provide the most authentic evaluation of your knowledge, skills, and abilities. Certiport’s performance-based testing uses specialized examination software while simultaneously running the actual Office programs. You can best prepare for your certification exams by using the Certiprep software — the only practice exam software that uses the same testing environment as the real Microsoft® Office Specialist exams.
