Employers and Employees
are Enjoying the benefits of
Certification

The guesswork in qualifying candidates for computer competency is much easier than a couple of years ago. Employers see many resumes each day, scanning for keywords and phrases to decide if a candidate is qualified – phrases such as, years of experience, industry experience, skill-sets and education. Certification is now one of these keywords as it simplifies the employee selection and hiring process by easily identifying individuals with the skills to be productive from day one.

For any employee or candidate who regularly uses a computer in their business, two certificates scream out from the page of the résumé; Internet & Computing Core Certification (IC³) and Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS).

IC³ is a globally recognized certification that offers candidates the opportunity to learn and demonstrate computer and Internet literacy through a worldwide industry standard that accurately validates skills and productivity in the workplace. The broad-based IC³ certification verifies candidates possess the accepted standard level of basic computer and Internet literacy and are more efficient and marketable.

The Employer who encourages MOUS certification and hires MOUS-certified job candidates has increased employee competence and productivity with Microsoft Office programs. Employers who invest in MOUS certification experience a quick return on their training and certification investment. Investing in their skills brings improved employee morale, while increasing your bottom line.

What is MOUS? It is the acronym for Microsoft Office User Specialist program, the premier certification for desktop applications. MOUS is globally recognized for demonstrating desktop skills with the Microsoft Office Suite. By encouraging individuals to develop advanced skills with Microsoft's leading business desktop software, the MOUS program helps fill the demand for qualified workers. At the same time, MOUS helps satisfy an organization's need for a qualitative assessment of employee skills for any or all of the Microsoft Office products. Now more than ever, professionals need certification and corporations need individuals with certification.
