Hello Richard,

First let me apologize if there is a better place than this to ask this 'general skills' question.

I am taking your courses because it seems clear you have designed your courses around your real-world experiences, not simply to pass a skills test. That said, is there an Access course level (Advanced or Expert) where it would be reasonable to expect a student could pass the Microsoft Specialist (MOS) Certification test?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Robert, I've never had any faith in certifications. Here's why.

With that being said, I've never actually taken any of the MOS tests myself. I've never read any of the "study guide" books for them either. I have no idea what's on the tests. However, if you finish my 300-series (Advanced/Developer) of Access courses and you can't pass that test, I'd be REAL surprised.
