Microsoft Office helps people create professional looking content by combining  a comprehensive set of Microsoft tools with easy to use applications. A  Microsoft Office specialist (MOS) is a professional who has completed a series  of certification exams to demonstrate high proficiency in Microsoft’s Office  software suite. Individuals who work in positions where Office programs are  used frequently, such as administrative assisting or data entry, benefit from  MOS certification. MOS certification is available at the specialist, expert and  master level. Microsoft Office specialists, those with MOS certification from  Microsoft, typically have a wide variety of job duties. The MOS certification  validates a candidate’s proficiency in Microsoft software for office productivity,  including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Typists may also use these Microsoft  programs frequently, setting-up and preparing business reports, letters, mailing  labels and other text.  Each edition of  Microsoft Office has a different set of programs, but these programs typically include:

• Microsoft Access
• Microsoft Excel
• Microsoft Outlook
• Microsoft PowerPoint
• Microsoft Word.
