The Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Academy is designed for individuals who already have some experience using Microsoft Office applications, whether through employment, education, or personal use, and are looking to gain an industry-recognised qualification to enhance their skills and career prospects.
Students will enrol at 2 Queen’s Square through Middlesbrough College Adult and Community Learning and will be provided with access to an online learning portal. This flexible approach allows learners to study remotely, work through the course materials at their own pace, and fit learning around existing work, family, and personal commitments.
The academy offers specialist modules in:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Outlook
Each module typically takes around 10 weeks to complete, depending on individual commitment and study time. Learners can choose to complete a single module or progress through all three modules to broaden their skills across the Microsoft Office suite.
For those wishing to maximise their qualifications, completing all three modules provides the opportunity to work towards becoming a Microsoft Office Specialist Expert, demonstrating advanced proficiency across multiple Microsoft applications and providing a valuable addition to any CV.
Microsoft Office Specialist certifications are recognised by employers worldwide and can help learners demonstrate their competence, improve workplace productivity, and stand out when applying for new roles or seeking career progression.
Upon completing their studies, learners will sit their final Microsoft Office Specialist examination at 2 Queen’s Square, Middlesbrough College Adult and Community Learning, where successful candidates will achieve their accredited certification and receive an official Microsoft qualification certificate.
