MCAS 2007 has been re-branded as MOS 2007
WHY? Because the MOS brand is significantly more recognizable and possesses substantially stronger branding than MCAS for resellers and distributors. The MOS brand also has stronger visibility alongside Microsoft Office Product branding. In addition, the rebrand from MCAS to MOS enables MOS to be used as the definitive programme brand regardless of the Office version. Do my MCAS qualifications still count? YES, all individuals who have earned the MCAS certification in the past will be considered holders of the MOS 2007 certification. They may choose to use the MOS 2007 logo on business cards or any other personal effects. MCAS certification holders should consider themselves ”grand-fathered“ into the MOS 2007 certification program. The program’s name change will NOT include any program requirement or exam content changes. Can MCAS qualified people replace their MCAS Certificate with the new MOS 2007 Certificate? YES, there are two options for existing MCAS certificate holders to obtain a new certificate: Log onto your Certiport account at www.certiport.com by logging leaving the default role setting as ”Test Candidate.“ 1. Print—To print an Official Certificate, select ”My Transcript“ tab, and click on either the PDF or XPS link associated with the certificate to be printed. Select ”View Official Certificate“ at the bottom of the page, then click the Printer icon within the certificate window (please don’t use the standard Print function as it will only print the outside borders of the browser page). 2. Order—To order an Official Certificate, select ”My Transcript“ tab, and click on either the Order Official Certificate link associated with the certificate. Select ”Add To Cart“ and follow the checkout instructions. 3. You can also view and send your transcript digitally (save trees!) Select ”My Transcript,“ then select ”Authorized View“ in the View Mode pull-down. The Authorized View displays what your transcript will look like to a 3rd party. To authorize a 3rd party (employer, college, or teacher) to see your transcript, click on the ”Authorize a Viewer“ button and follow the instructions. |
