Tired of spending your time getting your students to a testing center to obtain their certifications? Total Seminars can help!
Becoming a Total Seminars Certiport Center enables you to administer Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification and Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3) exams at your facility. Your school can provide a secure, performance-based testing center that enables students to obtain their certifications in a familiar environment. Once certified, students can easily market their credentials to maximize their employment opportunities.
MOS - Microsoft Office Specialist certifications demonstrate that the student is skilled in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, or Project. The certifications show a measure of technical proficiency and expertise by evaluating overall comprehension of Microsoft applications. MOS certifications are available at three levels: Specialist, Expert, and Master.
IC3 - Internet and Computing Core Certification shows that the recipient has the skills and knowledge necessary to use computer applications and the Internet. Students attain IC3 certification by passing three exams: Computing Fundamentals, Key Applications, and Living Online
