Microsoft Office 2019 

Microsoft Office 2019 is a previous version of the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification program, covering the features introduced in the 2019 applications. Like other MOS certifications, it uses Certiport’s “Live-in-the-Application” testing to validate skills through real-world, project-based scenarios.

These certifications demonstrate key industry skills that help individuals enter or advance in the job market. Candidates should have around 150 hours of instruction and hands-on experience. While open to all, the exams are best suited for ages 16 and up. No bachelor’s degree or additional prerequisites are required beyond the Objective Domains. Certifications are stackable, issued once, and valid from the date of passing.

Just about every business is using Microsoft Office. If you have documented computer skills, you will be seen as more qualified to do the job. Employers recognize the importance of those skills.
