The following questions specifically address MOS certifications. Visit the Certification overview or Exam policies and FAQ pages for answers to general questions regarding Microsoft Certification or the exams.

What are the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams?
These certification exams allow you to demonstrate your skills to get the most out of Microsoft Office. You must have a Specialist certification before pursuing Microsoft’s higher-level Expert and Master certifications. There are 8 different Specialist exams you can take. Our Microsoft Office 2016 bundle course prepares you for 5 of them (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access).

Certiport Authorized Test Centre

MOS Certiport logo

GBSB Global's Certiport Authorized Test Centre is conveniently located in Barcelona where we offer Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification exams to students, employees, alumni and community members.

How long is a typical MOS exam?
Most exams take around 90 minutes to complete.

How long do I have to wait for my results?
MOS exam results are displayed on the screen right after you complete an exam. If you pass, you will receive an official certificate by mail (usually within a few weeks).

What’s the best way to study?
The best way to prepare is by reading the course material and doing the practical exercises in the course. These exercises will train you to follow the steps necessary to correctly complete the tasks. Reading the information is great, but you want to make sure you can also demonstrate the skill. Try teaching the concept to someone else so you really know you’ve got it. If you don’t understand a concept, don’t be afraid to give your instructor a call or send them an email. We’re happy to help!
