MOS certification helps students differentiate themselves in today's competitive job market, broadens employment opportunities by displaying advanced skills, and results in higher earning potential. Microsoft Office Specialist certification can also lead to increased job satisfaction. Research indicates that certified individuals have increased competence, productivity, and credibility with their employers, co-workers, and clients. For employers, the certification provides skill-verification tools that not only help assess a person's skills in using Microsoft Office programs but also the ability to quickly complete on-the-job tasks in Microsoft Office Word software. In addition, the American Council on Education (ACE) has recommended college credit for select Microsoft Certifications. Approved certifications are applicable for one to six semester hours of college credit in bachelor's-degree or associate-degree classes on computer applications, information technology, or computer information systems.
