The Microsoft Office Specialist, previously known as Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) and Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS), is a certification program for demonstrating proficiency in the use of one or more applications in the Microsoft Office suite. Upon successful completion of MOS certification, membership is granted to the MOS Members section on the Microsoft Learning website. Here, credentialed users can access transcripts, get wallet & business cards, download official Microsoft certification logos, print and view digital certificates, or place an order for an official, print-certificate from Microsoft. Certificates are issued by Microsoft, bearing both the signature of the Chief Executive Officer as well as the Official Seal of Microsoft Certification. Certifications for Office 2013 were launched on February 28, 2013.
There are currently three levels of MOS certification: Specialist, Specialist Expert, and Specialist Master. For Office 2013, Specialist-level certification is available for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, SharePoint, OneNote, and Office365. The Expert certification track is currently available only for Excel and Word, each of which requires passing two expert-level exams. Specialist-level examinations in Word and Excel are not a prerequisite for achieving Expert certification. In addition to passing each of the four Expert-level exams for Word and Excel, candidates seeking Master-level certification must also pass the specialist-level examination for PowerPoint, and choose from any one of the Specialist exams for Outlook, Access, SharePoint, or OneNote.
Currently, the following exams are available for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS):
