I. Microsoft International Certification System
Microsoft Certified Expert System was officially launched by Microsoft on April 1992, and was readjusted on October 25th, 2005. Microsoft international certification is divided into two series:
(1) For computer professionals, there are 12 kinds of Microsoft International Certification (MCP).
Microsoft International Certification (MCP) is a globally recognized certification system for advanced talents in computer software. A person who has passed the Microsoft International Certification (MCP) at least shows that he has reached the level of a senior expert in mastering a special product launched by Microsoft.

(b) For ordinary computer operators-office experts
Microsoft Office Expert is a globally recognized office skill standard applicable to all computer users. MOS certificates can be recorded in 65,438+0,500 universities in the United States, such as Harvard and Yale, and included in UNESCO's science and technology user program. MOS is divided into three categories: professional, expert and master.

Second, Microsoft international certification authorization channels
According to international practice, the most authoritative certification projects are usually implemented by third-party institutions. Because government certification is dominated by public power and enterprise certification is driven by interests, both of them are difficult to gain global recognition. Only by passing the certification of famous third-party organizations can they have international credibility, and Microsoft is no exception. Dozens of certificates of Microsoft International Certification 13 are all authorized to Sylvan Prometric, Virtual University Enterprises (Vue) and Certiport in the United States. In other words, these three global certification bodies have carved up all the international certification projects of Microsoft. Among them, the international certification examination for Microsoft computer professionals is authorized by Microsoft to be implemented by Hillman Learning System Co., Ltd. and Virtual University Enterprise Group. The MOS certification examination for computer users is exclusively conducted by Stirpool Global Certification Center authorized by Microsoft. Although Microsoft does not organize the implementation of the examination, as long as each candidate participates in the examination registration of these three certification bodies and takes the first examination, Microsoft will automatically record its results.
In Chinese mainland, the international certification of Microsoft computer professionals has been carried out in China for many years. Whether it is the Beijing office of Prometeric Branch of American Sven Learning System Co., Ltd. or the examination and certification center authorized by VUE that is engaged in the international certification of Microsoft computer professionals; MOS international certification started at 1998 and entered China late. In July 2004, the Stipo Global Certification Center of the United States established Stipo (Shanghai) Information Technology Consulting Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, China, and MOS international certification officially entered China. At the beginning of 2005, Sidibo set up a management organization in Jiangsu to manage the development and promotion of MOS international certification in Jiangsu.

Third, the combination of Qibao certification project course and computer public course.
Fundamentals of Computer Application is a course with strong practicality and rapid development. However, for many years, we have been making a fuss about "computer knowledge system" in the construction of teaching materials and teaching practice: habitually applying the knowledge structure of computer principles, starting with "binary", starting with microcomputer principles and DOS operating system, resulting in the boring and difficult course of basic computer application, and the teaching materials are like "heavenly books", which can not achieve the teaching purpose of enabling students to master the basic operation of computers initially.
Sibo is an internationally renowned professional organization engaged in computer application ability certification. Its MOS global certification project jointly launched with Microsoft headquarters and IC3 (Evaluation and Certification of Computer Comprehensive Application Ability) jointly launched with Global Digital Learning Advisory Committee are recognized by thousands of universities in the United States as public * * * examination results with international credibility, and are regarded as authoritative proof of students' computer application ability.
The MOS /IC3 course adopts the "task-driven" teaching mode: for example, the author of MOS textbook first decomposes the main functions of Microsoft office software into several "themes", and then designs corresponding application examples with several "themes" as the core; Then, based on a series of application examples, a complete set of teaching units is compiled. When students complete all the teaching units of a software, they can master the main skills of using the software. After a certain period of practice, you can become a skilled expert. The IC3 textbook is divided into three volumes, which systematically, comprehensively, concisely and clearly introduces basic computer knowledge, common software and network knowledge. The book takes the knowledge required by IC3 certification as a clue, develops the teaching content according to the theme, and allows students to learn and use it through rich teaching experiments. Through this "task-driven" mode, students can have a clear goal to master the relatively complex knowledge of computer beginners one by one, and with the help of the tutorial, they can be familiar with and memorize what they have learned.
In the process of MOS /IC3, "step graphic method" is adopted in the operation steps. This cartoon-like graphic way clearly marks the operation process, makes the teaching materials vivid and enhances the readability and operability of the teaching materials. Through this specific task operation, the "task-driven" teaching method can be effectively implemented, thus achieving good teaching results. It can be seen that the MOS /IC3 curriculum system is not only an effective means to cultivate the skills of the current computer public course, but also the value orientation of the current computer public course reform in vocational schools.
