Get Certified...as a Microsoft Office Specialist

22nd January 10:00 to 12:00
A fully funded opportunity (worth up to £450) to gain external certification from Microsoft which evidences your competency with Word, Excel and/or PowerPoint. Support your IT skills in your studies, and evidence your capabilities and self-development to future employers.
This activity is offered as part of Future Me Week - five days of exciting opportunities to develop your skills, deepen understanding, gain experience and take steps towards an exciting Future You.

The Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification demonstrates the necessary skills and abilities in Microsoft Office. It is one of the top 10 skills demanded by employers worldwide. It is widely recognised and can help students to differentiate themselves in a competitive job market and broaden their employment opportunities. Obtaining a Specialist Certification requires evidence of competence in three applications and will typically cost up to £450.

However, through Rise, Manchester Met students can obtain up to three certifications completely free! Don’t worry if you don’t manage to finish all the training you would have liked to do during Future Me Week. We’ll keep providing new opportunities for you to get certified in Microsoft across the rest of the year.

To prepare to sit your exams, we have partnered with LinkedIn and created a training pack for you to complete: Rise x Future Me at Manchester Met (mmu.ac.uk).
