[0]
Microsoft, for its Office applications such as
[2]
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook or Access,
[6]
offers Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification.
[11]
I had attempted MOS in Excel 2016 on 1st July,
[16]
and I posted the certificate on my Facebook profile,
[20]
so a lot of my friends asked how to get the certification.
[24]
So this video is for the same.
[27]
In today's video, we will learn three things.
[29]
Number one,
[30]
which different MOS certifications are available,
[34]
Number two,
[36]
where to attempt these certifications?
[39]
and number three, how to prepare for them.
[42]
So for MOS certifications,
[45]
search MOS 2016 on Google,
[48]
and check the certifications on Microsoft website.
[53]
So as you can see,
[55]
there are five MOS certifications available,
[61]
Word 2016,
[62]
Excel 2016,
[64]
PowerPoint 2016,
[65]
Access 2016,
[67]
and Outlook 2016.
[69]
Similarly,
[70]
two more certifications of MOS Expert are available,
[76]
which are,
[78]
Word 2016 Expert,
[80]
and Excel 2016 Expert.
[83]
Secondly, where to attempt these certifications?
[87]
For this, Microsoft's authorized testing body is Certiport.
[92]
and Certiport's authorized testing centers are available
[95]
in almost all big cities round the globe.
[98]
To find an authorized testing center near you,
[102]
search "Certiport locator" on Google,
[106]
and check out the link,
[107]
Select your country,
[110]
then select your city,
[112]
you may choose nearest 60 centers,
[115]
choose desired program,
[118]
which is Microsoft Office Specialist,
[120]
I would recommend the latest version,
[123]
choose any exam from the options,
[126]
I am selecting Office Excel 2016
[130]
then search it.
[131]
so there is a list of 17 authorized testing centers,
[136]
majority of which are universities,
[139]
while the rest are some private institutes.
[142]
You can call and take appointment from any of them
[146]
and attempt the test.
[147]
The pattern of the test is like
[150]
35 to 40 activities are there,
[154]
for example a data set may be given,
[157]
and you may be asked to apply conditional formatting,
[159]
you have to fulfill the instructions as they are given.
[162]
Total time given is 50 minutes,
[164]
and there are 1000 marks in total,
[165]
out of which you need 700 marks to pass the test.
[169]
The third topic: how to prepare for the test?
[172]
For this, Microsoft has
[174]
published an official study guide for each certification
[177]
made available for sale on its website
[180]
you can purchase the books for around $20 each.
[184]
Like I have purchased MOS Excel 2016 book.
[187]
Let me show you its contents.
[190]
There are 5 chapters in it.
[192]
Each chapter has different objectives.
[195]
Similarly, there is a book for MOS Excel Expert 2016.
[198]
In this, there are 4 chapters,
[200]
and each chapter has different objectives,
[205]
by completing which you get ready to attempt the exam.
[208]
So starting from tomorrow
[210]
Sunday, 25th November, 2018,
[213]
every Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 PM
[217]
Pakistan Standard Time,
[219]
I'll upload a tutorial on one objective,
[222]
and will be available on Google Hangout,
[224]
from 9:00 PM till 10:00 PM.
[226]
For one hour.
[227]
So that I may answer your questions.
[231]
For Microsoft Office Excel and Excel Expert,
[234]
there are 104 objectives in total,
[237]
so I hope that in the coming 52 weeks, i.e. one year,
[242]
we will complete the complete curriculum of
[246]
Microsoft Excel and Excel Expert in the form of tutorials,
[249]
so tomorrow my first tutorial will be uploaded,
[253]
on Objective 1.1, Create Worksheets and Workbooks.
[257]
I would recommend you to share this video,
[260]
so that more people could benefit from this course.
[263]
See you tomorrow at 9:00 PM,
[265]
thank you very much.
