MOS World Championship Application form and Process

Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship Application Process

Students can register themselves for the Championship by following the steps given below

Guidelines to fill the Application form

  • Participants can register themselves for the competition using any of the following steps:
    • Register just before taking the test: Students have to take the test in any of the Exams from an authorized ACADEMIC Certiport Authorized Testing Center.
    • Register just after taking the test: They can also register any eligible Exam after getting the passing score by logging into the Candidate’s homepage.
      • To register, they have to click on the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship link and follow the instructions.
  • Students can take the exams more than once in a day, provided they don’t violate the terms of the Certiport exam retake policy. But if they qualify for participating in Regional/Country round or the Final round, they can appear for the exam in only one of the Exam tracks, i.e. the track in which they have qualified.

How to Participate in the Championship

  • Option to Register for Championship while taking the Exam: Students will be asked to participate in the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship 2015 via a dialog box which appears on the screen while sitting for the exam track in MOS 2013 Excel, Word or PowerPoint or MOS 2010 Excel, Word or PowerPoint tracks.
  • Choice to Opt Out of the Championship: He/she can also choose to not appear for the Championship by removing the tick on the checkbox.
  • If the student has passed the exam, and has not removed the check on the box, he/she has now entered into the Championship.
  • Certiport Solution Providers will now contact the qualifying students and give them further information for the next round.
    • Some countries also conduct a Regional/Country wise Championship as a qualifying round for the World Championship.

MOS World Championship Selection Process

Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship Selection Process
