MICROSOFT EXCEL ASSOCIATE MO-210 CERTIFICATION BOOTCAMP
Level: Intermediate | Delivery Channel: In-Person Classroom | CPE Credits: 16 Credits | Duration: 2 Days (16 Hours)
The Microsoft Excel Associate MO-210 Certification Bootcamp is a two-day intensive that prepares you to pass Exam MO-210 and earn the Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel Associate (Microsoft 365 Apps) credential. The bootcamp uses a proven bookend design: it opens by teaching how the exam is structured and the best strategies for taking it, then you sit a live baseline attempt on Day 1. From there, every exam domain is taught hands-on in live Excel via practice exams — we will go through multiple practice exams — and the class closes on Day 2 with a second live attempt. Sitting the real exam first removes test-day anxiety and gives you a personalized map of exactly which topics to focus on. As a Certiport Authorized Testing Center, we administer the official proctored exam on-site, so there is no separate testing appointment to schedule.
WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR
Excel users with solid fundamentals — roughly the 150 hours of hands-on experience Microsoft recommends — who want to earn the industry-recognized Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel Associate certification.
Job seekers and working professionals who want a credential that proves associate-level Excel proficiency — and who want to walk out having actually sat the official exam.

Do I need to be an Excel expert to take this bootcamp?
No, but this is exam-focused preparation, not a from-zero beginners course. Microsoft’s candidate profile expects roughly 150 hours of hands-on Excel experience. You should already be comfortable entering and editing data, writing a simple formula such as =SUM(A1:A10), applying basic cell formatting, and creating a simple chart. If several of those are unfamiliar, ask us about foundational pre-work before you enroll.
What certification will I earn?
By passing Exam MO-210 you earn the Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel Associate (Microsoft 365 Apps) credential — an industry-recognized certification that validates your Excel skills at an associate level.
How much does the bootcamp cost?
$995. This includes your on-site attempt(s) at the official MO-210 exam.
Does this class qualify for CPE credits?
Yes! This bootcamp is accredited through the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy and earns 16 CPE (Continuing Professional Education) credits. You will receive a certificate of completion at the end of class.
Do I take the real exam during the bootcamp?
Yes. Excel Experts is a Certiport Authorized Testing Center, so you sit the official, proctored MO-210 exam on-site as part of the bootcamp — a baseline first attempt on Day 1 and a second attempt on Day 2. There is no separate testing center to travel to.
What do I need to bring to the in-person class?
Just need to bring an ID: A valid Driver’s License, Passport, or Military ID! We provide a full-size training computer, class materials, and snacks and drinks throughout the day.
What if I have taken the MO-210 exam before?
Microsoft enforces waiting periods between attempts — 24 hours after a first attempt and 14 days after later attempts, with a maximum of five attempts within 12 months. Tell us your exam history at enrollment and we will plan your attempt(s) so your exam falls safely outside the required waiting period.
How big are the public classes?
In-person public classes are small — up to 6 students — so you get plenty of individual attention from the instructor.
Can my whole team take this class together?
Absolutely. We offer private group training tailored to your team's schedule, location, and skill level.
Is the training hands-on or lecture-based?
Yes. Our classes are highly interactive with guided labs and exercises so participants practice every concept rather than just watching demonstrations.
