Cloud technology is a major component of how services are delivered to customers. It's creating new jobs and expanding IT roles. To stay current and valuable, IT certifications need to include cloud technology.
Microsoft's role-based certifications do just that. There are three levels of Microsoft technical role-based certifications:

The best way to prepare for a Microsoft certification exam is by having hands-on experience with the technology. ONLC excels at doing that plus provides several additional advantages:
To become Microsoft certified you must pass the designated authorized exam(s). In addition to multiple choice, exams will contain active screen scenarios, drag-and-drop options, and even case studies that address situations you would encounter in the real world. Performance-based testing gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your skills in ways that align with the way you actually work.
Students can register directly with Pearson VUE for technical-level Microsoft exams and in some cases you may be able to test from your own location. See Online Proctored Exams for setup requirements.
When you earn a Microsoft certification or pass a Microsoft exam, you'll receive a notification email directly from Microsoft on how to claim your badge. Badges are digital so one can post achievements online on sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, and embed the badge into your resume, email signature, etc.
Microsoft role-based certifications earned after June 29, 2021 are valid for one year.Role-based certifications need to be renewed annually by passing Microsoft's online assessments which are free. Note, recertification does not apply to Fundamentals level certifications as they do not expire.
As soon as you're eligible to renew (up to six months before your certification expires) Microsoft will alert you and provide assessment information. If you allow your certification to expire, you will need to earn the certification again by passing the current required exam(s).
ONLC also has hands-on, instructor-led training for business / end users to become proficient with applications in Microsoft Office including Microsoft Excel, Word, Access, PowerPoint and more. Our classes can be used to prepare for Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification.
