Services 

Test Preparation Classes, Practice Test Sessions and Testing Sessions are now available from the Clarkson College Technical Training Center. 

  

Test Prep Classes  

Course Length: 3 Hours 

Registration Fee: $75 

The Test Prep classes offer an orientation to the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification testing procedure and an opportunity to take one or more practice tests. This class is designed to orient you to the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification program and to familiarize you with the certification exam environment. We will complete your online registration and provide a number of test taking tips to insure that you make as many points as possible on your certification exams. We will also introduce you to the Practice Tests, register you for that program and get you started on the Practice Test of your choice. 

Recommendation: We recommend that you take the Test Prep class just once, before your first certification exam.  

  

Practice Test Session  

Course Length: 2 Hours 

Registration Fee: $50 

Practice Tests allow you to get more comfortable in the exam environment and "helps" will walk you through any area where you are having difficulty. There are two modes for the Practice tests: Training Exam and Testing Exam. In the Training Exam mode you work through each question in your own time. If you have difficulty with any part, you may redo the question with "helps" that walk you through step by step. The Testing Exam mode is timed and you take it just as you would a certification exam. You will receive your score, and then have the option to retake any missed questions with "helps". 

Recommendation: We highly recommend that you take a practice test before each certification exam. 

  

NOTE: The Test Prep Class and the Practice Test sessions are not a requirement for taking the Certification Exams. 

  

Certification Exams  

Course Length: 1 Hour 

Registration Fee: $95 

The Certification Exams are administered online and certifications are awarded directly by Microsoft. The tests are timed, approximately 50 minutes, and are available for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook. You take a separate test for each application. We are currently testing for Office 2003 only. We will be adding testing for Office 2007 products in the near future. Our testing sessions are set at 1 hour to allow plenty of time. Results are available immediately after the test and your score is printed for you to take. If you pass, Microsoft will mail the Certification certificate directly to you within one to two weeks. Registration Fee includes the cost of the test.
