Certification Exam
MOS exams are performance-based and include multiple projects to gauge skills. Microsoft changes exam questions and tasks frequently to maintain integrity. As such, training alone may not cover all exam topics. It is recommended candidates review the exam guide before attempting the authorized exam.
MOS authorized exams are available from Certiport. ONLC has a test from home option available for current ONLC students only. ONLC students should complete the Home Exam request form 
to schedule the authorized exam at home (other restrictions and requirements may apply). Those who prefer a testing location and non-ONLC students should visit Certiport's list of testing locations to schedule an exam.
When you pass the authorized MOS exam you will receive a digital badge for that credential. Anyone who views your badge can select it to learn about your skills and verify its authenticity.

A Note about Microsoft Outlook Versions
Versions 365, 2019, 2016 and 2013 are very similar from the user's perspective. The difference is mostly a matter of how you're accessing the software—cloud vs. on-premise. Outlook features and functions are the same no matter which version you're using, and as such students with any of those versions attend the same training.
