Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Excel training course

Is the Microsoft Excel certification exam fee included in the Koenig training course, and if not, what is the current cost?
The Microsoft Excel certification exam fee is not included in the Koenig training course and must be purchased separately. The current cost for the MOS Excel exam, such as MO-200 or MO-211, is $100 USD, though pricing may vary slightly by region. This standardized fee is paid directly to the exam provider, Certiport or Pearson VUE, when scheduling your test.
What training formats does Koenig offer for Excel, and is Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling available?
Koenig offers Microsoft Excel training in live online instructor-led, classroom, 1-on-1, and self-paced Flexi formats. All public live sessions are Guaranteed-to-Run, meaning the course will proceed on the scheduled date regardless of enrollment, ensuring your training starts as planned. This allows for confident scheduling of your professional learning journey.
How long is lab access provided after the Excel course, and what type of environment is used?
Koenig provides 30 days of hands-on lab access following the completion of the Microsoft Excel course. The labs are conducted in a live, cloud-based sandbox environment, allowing you to practice real-world Excel tasks on actual Microsoft 365 applications, ensuring you gain practical, job-ready skills without needing local software setup.
What is Koenig's policy for rescheduling or canceling an Excel training course?
Koenig allows free rescheduling of your Microsoft Excel training with more than 7 days' notice. Rescheduling or cancellation within 7 days of the start date may incur a 50% fee. This policy supports our Guaranteed-to-Run commitment while providing flexibility for learners to adjust their plans with prior notice.
What is the format, duration, number of questions, and passing score for the Microsoft Excel certification exam?
The Microsoft Excel certification exam (e.g., MO-200 or MO-211) is a 50-minute, proctored, performance-based assessment featuring interactive tasks within the live Excel application. It typically contains 35-40 questions, and a passing score of 700 out of 1000 is required, testing your ability to complete real-world spreadsheet challenges.
How long is the Microsoft Excel MOS certification valid, and what is the renewal process?
The Microsoft Excel MOS certification is valid for five years from the date of certification for credentials issued on or after September 2, 2025. To renew, you must retake and pass the current version of the certification exam before expiration, as there is no online renewal assessment for MOS credentials, unlike role-based Microsoft certifications.
What post-training support does Koenig provide after completing the Excel course?
After completing the Microsoft Excel course, Koenig provides 30 days of post-training support, including access to session recordings, hands-on lab practice, and exam preparation materials. You also receive a certificate of completion and may be eligible for free refresher sessions or consultation with a trainer to ensure your skills remain sharp.
What are the recommended prerequisites or experience needed before taking the Microsoft Excel Expert certification?
Candidates for the Microsoft Excel Expert certification should have approximately 150 hours of hands-on instruction and practical experience with Excel. This foundational knowledge ensures you are proficient with core features and ready to master advanced functions like macros, complex formulas, and data analysis required for the expert-level exam.
How does earning a Microsoft Excel certification impact salary and career advancement?
Earning a Microsoft Excel certification can lead to a salary increase of 12-18% compared to non-certified peers in roles like financial analyst or operations specialist. Certified professionals report median annual salaries of $75,000-$85,000, with higher premiums in major metropolitan areas and for senior analytical positions.
How does Koenig's instructor-led Excel training compare to self-study options in terms of exam success?
Koenig's instructor-led Microsoft Excel training, with its Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, expert guidance, and hands-on labs, provides a structured learning path that leads to higher exam success rates compared to self-study. The direct access to trainers and real-time feedback addresses knowledge gaps more effectively than relying solely on books or online tutorials.
