Students will begin working on Standard 3: Word. Students will get a chance to test and pass for certification by taking the Microsoft Certified Professional test on Word.

If students pass the certification test, students will:

• Earn college credit. Students who pass a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exam can get credit toward classes in college.
• Get hired. Employers know that certified staffers can be more valuable. So tech companies actively look to hire and promote candidates with certifications.
• Make more money. Certified employees earn 15 percent more, on average, than employees without a certification.1
• Get promoted sooner. A Microsoft Certification is like a badge that lets your boss know immediately how professional and competent you are. Certification can help you pull ahead of the pack when applying for your next promotion, project, or opportunity.

Please encourage your son / daughter to complete daily, great opportunity. See link below for more information.
