How does the Microsoft training compare with ECDL?
MOS is more in-depth but there is one important contrast.  Unlike ECDL there is no need to complete every module – individual certification is given for each module. For example, if you complete PowerPoint only, you will still be accredited as a Microsoft Office Specialist in PowerPoint.
