Microsoft® Office Specialist Certification Testing Center

To support students, job applicants, and employees who wish to validate their computer skill proficiency, the Skagit Valley College Office Administration and Accounting Technologies department has been designated as a Microsoft® Office Specialist (MOS) certification authorized testing center. Located at SVC's Mount Vernon Campus, the testing center provides the only comprehensive certification program designed to validate computer skills using Microsoft Office programs.
