EARN YOUR MICROSOFT OFFICE SPECIALIST
Microsoft Office Specialist Certifications: The number of industries that only use one Office application is zero. Whether creating spreadsheets, presentations, outlines, mockups, wireframes, formal documents, flow charts, or emails, employers work through shared information and overwhelmingly rely on Microsoft Office to manage and organize it. The Microsoft Office Specialist Associate credential shows an employer that an individual is ready to be productive in many important situations. Demonstrating you are an individual with the Microsoft Office Specialist Associate pathway, can set you up for a myriad of opportunities down the road.
Microsoft Office Manager Credential: Office managers have the challenging task of ensuring work keeps moving, despite what obstacles may get in their way. So how do you convince a company that you have what it takes? Validate your support, administrative, and management skills by earning the Office Manager credential. From managing databases to creating important procedural documents, tracking with spreadsheets, and delivering professional presentations, the Office Manager pathway credential is the best way to prove you have the skills to keep an office running smoothly.
