Altai State University trains certified Microsoft Office Specialists

One more group of learners at Microsoft IT Academy has completed education and achieved certification for Microsoft Office Specialist. The group mostly consisted of students studying at the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Technologies. They took certification examinations in Microsoft Word 2013 and Microsoft Excel 2013.

Head of IT Department M.A. Ryazanov commented on the results of certification:

“Our young mathematicians showed high proficiency in using Microsoft Word. They even set their own records. Thus one of our students managed to score 982 points out of 1,000, which is an absolute record for our university. It is worth noting that almost all marks were higher than 900 points. Although, it was harder to pass an examination in Excel and the marks were lower. Anyway, the test takers scored the required amount of points to receive the certificates.”

Remarkably, this group of learners did not attend any additional classes in the direction of certification. They only had knowledge gained in the framework of their educational program. This fact indicates the high skill level of the lecturers working at the Department of Informatics and good quality of education.
