Digital Education have a limited number of Microsoft Specialist exams that are available for staff and students to purchase at £10 per exam through the University Shop.

Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification is a great opportunity for those looking to demonstrate their proficiency in one or more Office programs at both Associate and Expert levels.

The exam, which will last around 40-50 minutes, can be taken in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access (expert level only) across both 2016 and 2019/365 releases. Upon achieving a pass in your selected software, you will receive a certificate in addition to a digital badge, that can be added to CVs, email signatures and LinkedIn profiles.

This opportunity is offered at a 90% discount of the standard price, and staff can complete multiple examinations to build up additional certification titles – such as ‘Microsoft Office Specialist: Associate’ and the ‘Microsoft Office Specialist: Expert’.

In addition to purchasing an examination seat, you will also be provided with access to training materials (through LinkedIn Learning) as well as mock practice examinations in a simulated environment similar to that of the actual exam (though the GMetrix platform).

Exams are completed online; staff members are encouraged to download the latest version of Google Chrome to take part in an exam.

Places are limited, to book your place, please see the dates and times available on the following link:
