Your Guide to Microsoft Office Certifications

In this article, I want to talk about the value of Microsoft Office certifications and how to get certified. 

Microsoft Office is one of the top two most used office suites and includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access. 

Microsoft offers certification in each of these programs. But why would you want to be certified? Well, there are two main reasons: 

1. to gain additional skills that you didn’t already have, and
2. to gain recognition for those skills, perhaps in connection with a job search or a possible promotion in your current job. 

Let’s have a look at each of these in turn.

Improving your Microsoft Office skills

New skills will expand Microsoft Office capabilities or allow you to do things you are already doing faster. But why is this relevant to certifications? 

To gain these new skills, you have to know what they actually are. Unfortunately, you don’t know what you don’t know — so how can you work out what you need to know? Microsoft Office certifications can help, as they have a detailed list of individual skills that you need to learn for the exams. Essentially, they are the skills that Microsoft wants you to know. 

A certification route will give you an excellent syllabus to follow, and you can be sure that the skills you are learning are relevant to that program.
