Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the MOS training course

Is the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification exam included in the training, and what is the cost?
The official MOS certification exam is not included in Koenig's training and must be purchased separately. The exam costs $100 USD, though pricing varies by region and is administered through Certiport. Candidates should confirm exact fees with Certiport based on their country, as taxes and regional adjustments may apply.
What training formats does Koenig offer for MOS certification preparation?
Koenig offers live online 1-on-1 instructor-led training for MOS certification prep, delivered via virtual classroom with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling.

How long is lab access provided, and what environment is used for MOS training?
Koenig provides 90 days of lab access post-course completion using cloud-hosted sandbox environments that replicate Microsoft Office applications. These labs allow hands-on practice with real-world tasks in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, ensuring candidates gain the technical proficiency required to pass the MOS exam with confidence.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for MOS training courses?
Koenig allows free rescheduling of MOS training up to 7 days before the course start date, with no penalty. Cancellations made within 7 days incur a 15% administrative fee, while cancellations less than 48 hours prior result in full forfeiture unless under exceptional circumstances approved by management.
What is the format, number of questions, time limit, and passing score for the MOS exam?
The MOS exam consists of 33–37 performance-based questions to be completed in 50 minutes, with a seat time of 60 minutes. It uses interactive, task-based simulations in Microsoft Office apps. The passing score is 700 on a scale of 1–1000, equivalent to approximately 70% proficiency across all measured skills.
How long is the MOS certification valid, and what is the renewal process and cost?
The MOS certification is valid for 5 years from the date of issuance, after which renewal is required. Renewal involves retaking and passing the current version of the exam; there is no free assessment option. The renewal exam costs $100 USD, same as initial certification, payable to Certiport.
What post-training support does Koenig provide after completing the MOS course?
Koenig offers 6 months of post-training email support with certified instructors, access to recorded session videos, and free retake of the same course within one year. Additionally, learners receive guidance on exam registration, study resources, and troubleshooting assistance for exam simulation tasks to ensure your long-term success.
What are the prerequisites or recommended experience levels for taking the MOS certification exam?
Candidates should have approximately 150 hours of hands-on experience with Microsoft Office applications before attempting the MOS exam. No formal prerequisites exist, but Microsoft recommends competency at an industry associate level, including creating professional documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and managing data effectively in real-world business scenarios.
What career benefits and salary improvements can MOS certification provide?
MOS certification can increase employability for administrative, clerical, and business analyst roles, with certified professionals earning 10–15% more than non-certified peers. Entry-level roles like Office Assistant report average salaries of $40,000–$50,000 annually in the U.S., with higher earnings in finance and corporate sectors.
How does Koenig's MOS training compare to self-study options in terms of success rates and preparation time?
Koenig’s structured MOS training reduces preparation time from 3–6 months (self-study) to 40–60 hours with expert guidance, increasing first-attempt pass rates. Unlike self-study, it includes live labs, error correction, and exam strategy coaching, leading to faster, more confident certification achievement for your professional career advancement.
