What's in the pathway

Why certification first

Five problems graduates face, and how proof of skill fixes them.

Office skills are on almost every CV. A certification pathway turns them into three Microsoft credentials employers can verify.

A job seeker shows Microsoft Office certifications to a recruiter on a laptop
Problem 01 · Unemployment

"Proficient in MS Office" gets ignored

Every CV says it, so recruiters stop reading it.

The fix: three Microsoft badges a recruiter can verify online.
An intern builds a report in Word and Excel at an office desk
Problem 02 · Internships

Interns who need hand-holding

Placements go to people who can produce reports and decks from day one.

The fix: arrive able to build the documents the team needs.
A small-business owner prepares a quote and budget spreadsheet on a laptop
Problem 03 · Entrepreneurship

Quotes and pitches that look amateur

Clients judge a small business by its paperwork.

The fix: professional proposals, budgets and decks you build yourself.
A professional works through a complex Excel workbook with charts and formulas
Problem 04 · Deeper Understanding

Knowing a few buttons, not the app

Self-taught users miss the features that save hours.

The fix: a full objective-domain blueprint for each app, tested hands-on.
Students holding Microsoft and Certiport certifications in front of a world map showing London, Dubai, Harare and Johannesburg
Problem 05 · Global Reach

Local skills, invisible abroad

Employers outside your country need a standard they recognize.

The fix: Microsoft credentials that mean the same thing everywhere.
Why this pathway

One cert is a skill. A pathway is a job.

Anyone can claim they "know Office." The MOS Associate stack proves it across three apps offices rely on, turning a CV line into verified proof of skill.

01

Students & graduates

Walk into interviews as a certified graduate with Microsoft credentials an employer can check, with the training included in one bundle.

02

Admin & office support

Administrators, EAs and coordinators: prove the daily toolkit your role is built on and stand out in a stack of generic CVs.

03

Career switchers

Moving into office, operations or business support? Three stacked credentials show you're ready for the work.

How the pathway works

Two ways to learn. One proof of skill.

Learn on your own with OneSkillAway or with a trainer at EdgePoint. Both paths lead to OneCertificationAway.

The honest answers

Common questions.

Is the training included in the bundle?

Yes. The bundle includes full LearnKey training for all three apps, so one purchase covers learning and certifying, with no separate training fee. Study at your own pace, then sit the exams when you're ready.

Can I learn with a trainer instead?

Yes, where a class is running. EdgePoint offers trainer-led classes, and you can switch from self-paced to guided by paying the difference. See available classes →

Why does Certiport say "3 of 4"?

Certiport's official pathway lets you certify any three of four Office 2019 apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook. This bundle stacks Word, Excel and PowerPoint. If your role centers on email and calendars, you can swap Outlook in for one. Just ask us on WhatsApp.

Office 2019 or Microsoft 365 Apps: which should I train?

Microsoft 365 Apps is the current version we recommend for most candidates. The Office 2019 track exists for workplaces still running the classic suite. Unsure? Message us and we'll point you to the right one.

Where do I take the exams?

In any of 10 countries: Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Sit them at a Certiport Authorized Testing Center, or online where there's no center nearby. Book your exam →

How long are the certifications valid?

MOS certifications are valid for 5 years, and each comes with a verifiable digital badge you can share on LinkedIn and your CV.

You're one skill away.

Build the Office stack employers recognize. One bundle includes the training and the exams that prove it.
