Microsoft Office Specialist 2013 - Part 1: Word 2013 Triple

After my long study for the Microsoft Office Word Exam, I have passed all 3 of them. The Office Specialist and the 2 part Expert Series.

1st time I took the MOS Word exam this was tricky.
Unlike Microsoft Certified Professional exams which I take a lot of times, this Microsoft Office Specialist is a whole different level.
Instead of questions, you have a document and a project and you have to do set of tasks to complete. I rather not divulge on the name of the project as that will violate the NDA (Non-Disclosure agreement).

When I started the Expert stages the exams was very hard. It was hard because the tools I never used during my career. So I did further training to study the tools after few attempts I have finally passed Part 1 & 2 on the Expert level.

Since I become the Word 2013 Expert I have learned so much and deeper about Microsoft Word than I ever did and also the Expert Certificate gives me the ability to utilise most of the tools on Microsoft Word.

I am now adapted to the Microsoft Office Specialist Exam format.

Exams required:

77-418 - MOS: Microsoft Office Word 2013
77-425 - MOS: Microsoft Office Word 2013 Expert Part 1
77-426 - MOS: Microsoft Office Word 2013 Expert Part 2

 

Microsoft Office Specialist Course

After my long journey of getting many Microsoft Certified Professional Certs.

I am also done with CompTIA Certs as they served my purposes in my IT path. My 3 year certs retired and no point on renewing it and keep my original A+ & Network+ in tact. I may think about getting CompTIA Linux in the future.

I am now moving to the Microsoft Office Courses so I can become the Microsoft Specialist Certifications as it is next on my list whilst I take a pause on Microsoft Certified Professional exams. The journey may be long but I will be focusing one by one on each Office packages on both 2013 & 2016. Also work towards the Master Level.

My main goal is not just get the MOS Master Certificate but I want get the Grand Slam status.

What do I mean by Grand Slam?

Grand Slam is my personal achievement meaning I want to pass all of the Microsoft Office Specialist exams in the series.

Why am I doing this? Because I need to learn every tool on the Microsoft Office packages and also teach others on how to use them.

On the Office 2013 Series there are total of 11 exams and 2016, there are 7 to pass.
In deed that this will be a long journey

Getting the Master Certificate is one thing, the question is that "Can I get them all?"

I sure will.

Watch this space and my Microsoft Office posts on my progress.

MCSA: Mobility - My favourite Certification

After I pass my Exam #696: Administer SCCM & Intune. I finally become the MCSA Mobility.

To me Mobility is the best achievement out of all of the MCSEs because even I got other MCSEs I am certified, the Mobility to me is like the Desktop Support Cert which holds more weight that others for me as I am the best at Desktop and Technicians level.

I never knew how hard this one was because the Desktop Support are more focus on cloud other than premises along side with my MCSA Windows 10 which I achieved Charter Member Status on.

I just realised that this I have few days to pass this exam because this had few days to retire and will replace with the new one (#703: Administering Microsoft SCCM and Cloud Services Integration).

Microsoft Edge: Vintage Web Tech

I went to one of the sites and I saw this Vinage Warning sign on Microsoft Edge.

This is new to me as I never heard about the vintage web tech.

What this basically means that some websites runs on very old browser and Internet Explorer.

I found a link on how to resolve and troubleshoot the Vintage Browser:Microsoft Edge: How can I remove 'You've stumbled upon some vintage web tech. Open with Internet Explorer' message from showing?
