I had a question about the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Certification Exam.
I was wondering if it worth the trouble to take the test. Has anyone passed the test? Is it beneficial to have and do the employers value it? Does one have to get the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification for adding real value for job placement? In these difficult economical times, I am looking for a way to survive by advancing my career. I appreciate any inputs.
