New Microsoft Office Specialist Requirements

The new Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) requirements include certification in the Windows Vista operating system. This is a significant change in the certification process. For the past 10 years, all of the Windows training and assessment was in the MSCE Engineering track. MOS certification was considered a less challenging course, and mainly for women.

The new MCAS requirements demonstrate a more realistic view of how computers are used in an office . For example, when a document doesn’t print, it isn’t a problem that can be fixed in Microsoft Word. It’s about finding the answers in the user’s Windows operating system.
