Learn. Get certified. Advance.

Pick your MOS program, and your exam voucher or certification pathway bundle unlocks the official training. Learn at your own pace — or with a trainer at EdgePoint — then sit your exam and move forward with proof of skill.

One purchase. Training included. A credential that opens doors.
Why MOS

Not a tutorial. Not a participation certificate. Proof.

MOS doesn't ask you what a SUM function is. It hands you a real spreadsheet and asks you to build one. Here's why that matters.

01

Live-in-application

You take the exam inside the real Microsoft software — building actual files and completing real tasks. Not multiple-choice guessing. That's why employers trust it.

02

Microsoft-endorsed

Officially backed by Microsoft and delivered through Certiport, the world's leading skills-certification program for productivity software.

03

Stackable credentials

Start with an Associate. Add an Expert. Stack a specialty like Excel for Accounting, Business Finance or Operational Management. Build a portfolio employers can't ignore — one credential at a time.

The MOS programs

Pick the program that picks your career.

Ten Microsoft Office Specialist programs — Associate, Expert and Specialty. Every voucher unlocks its training. Check a program's official objective domains before you study.

Why certification first

Five problems graduates face. One answer: Microsoft-certified proof of skill.

A qualification says you studied. A Microsoft Office Specialist certification proves you can do the work every office runs on — and that changes what happens next.

Graduates welcomed for a job interview
1
Unemployment

"I have a qualification, but no job."

Almost every office job ad asks for Excel, Word or Outlook. A MOS certification proves you have it — employers verify it in minutes instead of trusting "computer literate" on a CV.

"Computer literate" is a claim. MOS is proof.

Internships

"I need experience to get experience."

Interns who can build a spreadsheet, format a board report or manage a calendar from day one are the ones who get kept. MOS shows a host organization you can contribute in week one.

Walk into your internship already certified in Microsoft Office.

Entrepreneurship

"I want to build something of my own."

Run your own books in Excel, write proposals in Word and pitch in PowerPoint — or sell those skills as a freelance virtual assistant, data or admin-support business.

Your first business tools are already on your laptop. Get certified in them.

4
Deeper understanding

"Knowing where the buttons are isn't enough."

MOS exams run inside the real apps. You build working spreadsheets, documents and presentations — and understand why a formula, a style or a PivotTable works, so the skill carries across new versions and new roles.

Anyone can learn to click. MOS proves you understand the work.

Global reach

"My qualification doesn't travel."

MOS is recognized in 140+ countries and delivered in 26 languages. The same Microsoft credential counts in Harare, Johannesburg, Dubai or London — and anyone can verify it online.

Your certification speaks every employer's language — in any country.
From graduate to certified graduate: Microsoft-backed proof of skill that gets you hired, gets you started and travels with you.Training included with every voucher and certification pathway bundle — you pay once, to prove it.
How it works

Train and certify in one purchase.

Most people pay for training, then pay again for a certification — and often never get a credential to show for it. Your voucher unlocks the official training, so one purchase takes you from skill to proof of skill.

1

Get your voucher

Pick your MOS program and voucher option on OneCertificationAway. It unlocks the structured, self-paced training.

2

Train against the objectives

Study against Certiport's official objective domains so you walk in knowing exactly what's tested.

3

Book & certify

Book your exam at a Certiport test center — or online if there isn't one in your area — and earn a Microsoft-backed credential.

One credential. Two ways to get there.

Common questions

The honest answers.

Is the MOS training included with the voucher?
Yes. When you buy a MOS exam voucher through OneCertificationAway, it unlocks the official structured training — no separate training fee. Study at your own pace, then sit the exam when you're ready.
Can I get the training without buying a voucher?
No. Everything — the training included — unlocks with a voucher, pathway bundle or Mastery Challenge purchase. That's how one price covers both the learning and the proof of skill.
Do I have to sit the exam right away?
No. Train at your own pace and sit the exam when you're ready, within your voucher's validity period. We never auto-charge you.
What does a MOS voucher cost?
Every MOS program uses the same four-tier ladder, training included: $75 for the voucher only, $99 with a retake, $115 with a GMetrix practice test, or $135 for the full bundle. Want several? A pathway bundle like MOS Associate ($349) or Staff Accountant ($455) costs less than buying the vouchers separately — and unlocks SkillUp Pro.
Does a MOS certification expire?
MOS certifications earned on or after 23 September 2025 are valid for 5 years. To stay current after that, you recertify by passing the current version of the exam. Certifications earned before that date don't expire.
Which Office version should I train on?
Microsoft 365 Apps is the current, future-proof version and what we recommend for most candidates. Office 2019 tracks still exist for workplaces running older software. If you're unsure, message us on WhatsApp and we'll point you to the right one.
Where can I take the exam?
At a Certiport Authorized Testing Center. If there isn't one in your area, you can sit it online with a live remote proctor through Certiport Compass Cloud — your webcam stays on throughout, and you're liable for any interruptions on your side, such as network, power or device issues.
Who can take MOS with us?
Candidates in Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
