Career Step Launches New Online Training for the Microsoft Office 2010 Suite of Applications

PROVO, UT, January 24, 2013 (Press-News.org) Career Step, an online school offering career-focused education, has launched its newest training programs: a suite of courses designed to teach students how to use the 2010 edition of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Access programs. The new training courses range from 36 to 61 hours and prepare our students to earn the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) credential.

"We are pleased to be offering these new courses that continue to fulfill our mission of career-focused training," said Chris Powell, Career Step Vice President of Program Development. "Our goal is to make sure our students are prepared for the workforce; and, with the prevalence of Microsoft Office 2010 in business settings, this new 2010 training option offers our graduates one more edge in the job market."

The Career Step training courses are available online, which allows students to study on their own schedule and at their own pace with 24/7 access to the curriculum. This provides more flexibility than training presented either in a classroom or by online programs that closely simulate the classroom environment with scheduled lectures and login times.

The courses were developed to prepare students to earn the MOS credential for their specific Microsoft Office program of study. Students who certify as a specialist in Word, Excel and PowerPoint as well as either Access or Outlook are designated by the MOS Master credential. The Career Step courses help students prepare for these industry credentials with comprehensive curriculum and hundreds of hands-on exercise files that allow them to practice the skills required to earn the credential.

The individual Microsoft Office 2010 courses are priced at $149. Students interested in all five training courses can purchase the training bundle for $499. To learn more about the Career Step Microsoft Office 2010 training courses, visit CareerStep.com/microsoft or call 1-800-411-7073.
