Microsoft Office User Specialist

What is MOUS?
MOUS stands for Microsoft Office User Specialist. This is a program introduced by Microsoft as a new global standard for desktop productivity, with Microsoft exams and certification designed to validate proficiency and skills in desktop applications.

What applications are covered?
Training and testing is available for most standard Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook, for both Office 97 and the latest 2000 versions. Training and testing is also available for Project 2000.

Specialist or Expert?
MOUS testing is available at two levels of proficiency, Specialist and Expert, to fully reflect skills and experience. Certification at Master level is also available, upon completion of the following five exams: Word Expert, Excel Expert, Access Specialist, PowerPoint Specialist and Outlook Specialist.

How are the exams taken?
All exams are taken on PCs, not as a written test, and are based around how you would actually use your computer. For example, an exam may include a sample document that requires alteration, formatting or a spell check. The exams themselves take between 30 minutes and an hour, and test both skill level and productivity. Results are provided at the end of the exam, with the Certificate following later.

What are the benefits?
For individuals, MOUS Certificates can be added to CV's and formal qualification portfolios, and used as documentary evidence of skills attained throughout career development. For companies, these Certificates provide a means of verifying, assessing and monitoring staff training requirements, as well as a record of the quality of the training delivered.
