The Microsoft Certification Program puts students on a promising career path and prepares them to receive a Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification. Students are trained to become proficient in Microsoft programs such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The program provides an alternative pathway to graduation and also ensures that students are best prepared to achieve post-secondary success. Students receiving a traditional high school diploma also have the opportunity to receive this certification. ​98% of students who enroll in OCS's Microsoft Certification Program pass the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exam. ​

​*According to a recent study, holding a MOS certification can earn entry-level business employees as much as $16,000 more in annual salary than entry-level employees without the certification.
