1What it is
A practical certification in the Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook) at two levels: Associate for the essentials and Expert for advanced use. Candidates are tested inside the application itself by completing tasks rather than answering questions about it, which is why it is convincing evidence of office skills.
2Who it suits
Administrative staff, secretaries and department coordinators, and students and researchers who want to prove their proficiency.
3What it requires
None.
4How it is earned
One exam per application at authorised test centres, many of them in universities and technical colleges. The Advanced Excel entry in this directory complements it.
