LearnKey self-study courses
Self-study courses are available for all versions of Microsoft Office. Courses for Office 2003 and Office 2007 are featured in our online catalogue and are listed below.
Self-study courses enable individuals to learn at their own pace, at times and locations that are the most convenient to both individuals and employers. This can be a real benefit for small businesses that cannot afford to have their staff out of the office attending external training courses.
These courses are highly regarded and include good quality video presentations from leading professional instructors together with interactive elements to aid with the learning process.
Courses can be purchased online as Single-User Licences, or for Multiple Users we can supply either Library Licences, or WorkGroup Licences. For more information about multi-user licences see our February 2008 Training Newsletter.

 Certification Focus
- MS Office Specialist
Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification is still available for Office 2003,
Office XP and Office 2000.
For Office 2007, Microsoft has introduced new certifications - Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) and Microsoft Certified Application Professional, (MCAP), which are part of the new Microsoft Business Certification programme. They are set to become the new globally recognized standard for validating expertise with Microsoft Office 2007 business productivity applications. We will deal with MCAS and MCAP in a future issue of this newsletter.
However, for now, Microsoft Office Specialist is still a globally recognized standard for demonstrating desktop skills. The exams provide a reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise - evaluating overall understanding of Office products, the ability to use their advanced features, and the ability to integrate Office programs with other software programs. The certification programme provides individuals with three levels of certification to meet the need for varying skill levels as follows:
Microsoft Office Specialist
SPECIALIST level |
requires one exam to be passed in any one of Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project or Word. |
EXPERT level |
requires passes in either Excel or Word EXPERT exams. |
MASTER level |
requires passes in all three of Excel EXPERT, Word EXPERT and PowerPoint, plus one elective exam in either Access or Outlook. |
Although we can provide courses for Office 2000 and Office XP if required, we would recommend that only Office 2003 and Office 2007 are worth considering at this stage of the Microsoft Office product lifecycle.
Our featured courses for Office 2003 and 2007 are listed below.
