    Hello,

    I've got a little question which couldn't be answered by visiting the Microsoft Learning page:

    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mos.aspx#certifications

    When I want to earn the Microsoft Office Master certification, I have to take the Word Expert exam (77-887) and the Excel Expert exam (77-888). Do I have to take the Word exam (77-881) before I can take the Word Expert exam and the Excel exam (77-882) before I can take the Excel Expert exam?

    Greetings,

    Toni

    Hi Toni,

    No you don't as they're considered to be seperate certifications from what I can tell.  The certifications for Excel for example, read as follows;

    When you pass Exam 77-882: Excel 2010, you complete the requirements for the following certification(s):Microsoft Office Specialist: Microsoft Excel 2010

    When you pass Exam 77-888: Excel 2010 Expert, you complete the requirements for the following certification(s): Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS): Microsoft Excel 2010 Expert

     

    Good luck

    Hi Toni,

    You can do them in any order you'd like. Remember though that you need a couple more to earn your Master Certification but those are the easy ones right?

    Good luck on taking the exams...

    Hello,

    thanks for the information.

    My question was just for planning purposes since I'm busy earning the MS Exchange Certifications (passed 70-662 on Friday, yes! :-))
