How you earn one
- Sign in, then start the timed test. Only attempts started while signed in count, so the result belongs to your account.
- Get at least 80% of the tasks right in one attempt (8 of 10) and hand it in before the clock runs out.
- With Pro, come back here, type the name to print and get the certificate. It keeps the score and date of your best attempt.
What it shows, and what it doesn't
- Hands-On Excel's server dealt the tasks, kept the clock and graded the answers. The score is read from that stored attempt, so it can't be typed in.
- The test isn't proctored: we can't see who was at the keyboard. The tasks and data are the same each time, so a retake is easier than a first try.
- Course lessons don't count toward it. They are checked in the browser, so the server can't confirm them.
- Hands-On Excel is an independent practice site. This is not a Microsoft certification.
Questions
- Is this a Microsoft certification?
- No. Hands-On Excel is an independent practice site, and the certificate says what you did here: you passed one of our timed Excel tests. For an official exam, look at Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS).
- How can an employer check it?
- Every certificate has its own page on handsonexcel.com with the name, the test, the score, the date and the certificate ID. A certificate that was removed or withdrawn says so, or no longer opens.
- Can I take the test again?
- Yes, as often as you like. The certificate uses your best attempt at the time you get it.
- Does it expire?
- No. It is withdrawn only if the Pro purchase is refunded, and you can remove it yourself at any time.
- Will my certificate show up in Google?
- Only if you tick "Let search engines show it" when you get it. Otherwise the page tells search engines not to index it, and only people with the link see it.
