Thanks Ken, I really needed to read some good news this morning and this is just the ticket. Lets hope the Irish and other employment markets start to reflect the US trend for a more prosperous 2011 for all.

Hi Ken,

With the recent re branding of the MOS (Office) certification, please can you share some statistics on the MOS certification program and how they are viewed from employers/recruiters?

I am actively trying to promote MOS 2007 (and 2010) but I find that awareness is minuscule and traction is poor with feedback on the e-learning (2007) content poor.

What can you share, and do you have any facts/figures about increased employability once gaining the MOS?

Kind regards

Andrew
