    Hi all,

    im wanting to expand my knowledge of Office and was wondering what certs would be worth going for? and also can anyone point me in the direction of good study material for Office>? im used to using study material such as mike meyers and cbt nuggets but dont know if either offer OFFICE study material.

    On a second point, would exchange be classed as an office product or stand alone exam? i know it is part of the suite but wa sunsure if it would be included.

    thanks all

    just to clarify my intentions are to further learn office from a helpdesk point of view ie being able to support users in need of advice, configuration , setup etc etc

    There are two routes that are available:

    Helping users with the features of Office (eg. creating formulas, formatting, etc) and from a technical point of view (office repairs, installations, etc).

    For the first one, look into the Microsoft Office Specialist range of certs.

    For the second one, look into the MCDST (70-271 + 70-272, this covers XP & Office 2003) and/or 70-681 (this covers Win 7 & Office 2010. The Office 2007 deployment with Vista was discontinued in Oct 2010.

    For Exchange, it has it's own range of certs. See here. However if you're talking about Outlook, it's covered by the MOS exams.
