Earning a Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification proves to clients and prospective employers that you have the professional skills to work confidently in a specific Office application and can maximize its features to complete tasks. ONLC's classes can help you prep for MOS and MOS Expert certifications.
EXCEL MOS
Earning MOS Excel confirms you have core Excel skills and maximize its features to complete tasks.
The below courses are recommended along with hands-on experience with the software to earn MOS certification.
Excel MOS Recommended Training

Excel MOS Certification Exam

MOS authorized exams are performance-based and available from Certiport. Exam candidates schedule directly with Certiport. When you pass the authorized Microsoft Excel exam, you will receive a digital badge for that credential. Microsoft changes their exams frequently to maintain integrity, as such, training alone may not cover all skills on the exam.
EXCEL MOS EXPERT
Earning MOS Expert certification proves you have advanced-level skills and understanding in a specific Office application and can assist others with proper use of the program's features.
The below courses, which are the same as those for the MOS credential above, can help you get started. You should also have extensive hands-on experience with Microsoft Excel before attempting the MOS-Expert exam as it goes into much greater depth and breadth than the entry-level MOS exam.
Recommended Excel MOS Expert Training

MOS Expert authorized exams are performance-based and available from Certiport. Exam candidates schedule directly with Certiport. When you pass the authorized Microsoft Excel exam, you will receive a digital badge for that credential. Microsoft changes their exams frequently to maintain integrity, as such, training alone may not cover all skills on the exam.
Other Information & Options
Microsoft Excel Versions
Excel software versions are quite similar. The difference is mostly a matter of how you're accessing the software. Whereas Microsoft Excel 365 is accessed via the cloud with a paid subscription, Excel 2019 / 2016 and earlier versions are purchased outright and installed directly onto your computer (aka "on-premise").
Excel features and functions are nearly identical regardless of version, and as such, students with different versions can attend the same ONLC Excel classes.
