Program details

Overview

Microsoft Office Specialist is a part-time certificate from Conestoga's continuing education division designed to enhance workplace software application skills. Students begin with an overview of the Microsoft Office suite, then complete separate study segments in Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint, finishing with an integration course that combines the applications. All courses must be completed within five years of acceptance into the program.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Conestoga's Microsoft Office Specialist certificate is a part-time continuing-education program. Its own admission requirements state that applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or must be 19 years of age or older by the program start (mature student status). A further condition requires that students be able to receive instruction, respond and research in the English language; no numeric IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL score is published on this program's page, and no French-language alternative is mentioned. No specific prerequisite courses, minimum grade average, portfolio, interview, work-experience requirement, or background check is listed. This reflects Conestoga's general pattern for open-enrolment continuing-education certificates, which set a bare OSSD-or-mature-student bar; applicants should confirm current terms directly with the program page before registering for this short course.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca (college code CONS): for the Fall 2027 intake the online application opens 26 September 2026, the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027, offers may be issued from 1 November 2026, and accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027; most oversubscribed programs stop accepting applications after 1 February 2027, though many programs remain open afterward. Conestoga does not publish a separate equal-consideration date for its January intake. International applicants apply directly to Conestoga and are assessed on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis until each program fills; no fixed international closing date is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
