How Do I Get Certified in Microsoft OneNote?

Microsoft OneNote is a note-taking program that helps users gather free form information. The information to make notes may be acquired from drawings, clippings, audio clips, and notes.

Microsoft's OneNote helps you store your notes in one central location for easy access and storage. The primary benefit of the organizational tool is that it substantially increases productivity.

To be completely proficient in the use of Microsoft OneNote, you will have to undertake a training course. Once you complete the training course, you will receive a genuine certificate from Microsoft and Microsoft Office specialist status.

An extra perk of becoming certified in Microsoft office is getting a free t-shirt from the Xbox store if you are interested.

How to Get Certified

The process of getting certified for the Microsoft OneNote training course is not easy. First and foremost, you will have to be serious about taking the course.

It requires a lot of effort and commitment to complete it. Moreover, taking the course is not free, so you should apprise yourself of the costs involved.

You may know a bit about using Microsoft OneNote if you are a fan, but if you want to get a comprehensive account of the course, you should visit the Microsoft Learning site where every detail of the course will be outlined.

The course will typically involve learning about creating notes, the Microsoft OneNote interface, creating a simple notebook, integrating OneNote with other applications, and sharing notes with others.

Once you are on the Microsoft Learning site, it is time to check the Microsoft OneNote section. To get Microsoft OneNote certification, you will first need to pass exam 77-421.

You should read the prerequisite for doing the exam. You should also check the skills measured section. As a result of this, you will find a summary of the subjects you can expect in your exam.

After reviewing the skills measured, you should have a vivid picture of what is required. If you think you are up for the exam, then you make arrangements to do the exam.

You should note that the questions will test what is outlined in the skills measured, but it is not limited to them. If you are proficient, you may be tested on something else but related to Microsoft OneNote.

Certiport provides the Microsoft OneNote exams on behalf of Microsoft. Therefore, you will visit their website to schedule their exam. You can find the link to the examination from the Microsoft website as well.

You have to register at Certiport before taking the Microsoft OneNote exam. It would be best if you did it before taking the exam to avoid any inconvenience.

All you will require is a username and password. The good news is that there is no charge for registration on the site.

On the other hand, you will have to pay to take the exam. The price varies from country to country, but the default price on Certiport is $100.

You can take the exam whenever you feel ready. If you think that you need some time to prepare, then you can schedule the exam for a specific date and do it on that date.

Once you take the exam, the results will be made available immediately after that. A draft of your exam score will be sent immediately after you complete the exam.

If you pass, you will receive the Microsoft OneNote certification in the address you submitted when you registered at Certiport.

It is a simple process to do the exam and receive OneNote certification, but there are occasionally going to be problems with the service. If so, feel free to contact Microsoft OneNote customer service as soon as you can.
