<p>Should I list my Microsoft Certifications as an Honor?</p>
<p>I have my Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Access Certifications. Would these be considered an Honor?</p>
<p>If so, would they be considered a National Honor? I wouldn't think so, but I wouldn't consider it a School or Regional Honor, either.</p>
<p>It’s not critical where exactly you put these and the honor section is fine, but you might consider putting them in activities where you have slightly more room to indicate how or why you earned them or to put them in a broader context as to where you have used these certifications.</p>
<p>That’s a good way to put it. I’ll think about it. Thank you!</p>
<p>I don’t really think an earned certificate is an “honor,” any more than a high school diploma or a driver’s license is an “honor.”</p>
<p>I agree with niceday that it probably doesn’t matter where you list them, but it also probably makes more sense to put them under activities.</p>
<p>If you mean the certificates for attending and passing the course, the awards/honors section is really about special academic achievements or other distinctions. You could wrap them all up into the very last line of activities- but all these bits are choices and your choices can be revealing. Just think about it. This may be something more relevant to a resume than a college app.</p>
<p>He’s talking about a paid test. You are under a time limit and have to successfully execute certain instructions. By passing, you are a Microsoft Office Specialist. I’m personally including mine under honors since I took the exam in school.</p>
<p>Is it an honor?
See, that’s the question. If a kid wants a CS major, it may be relevant. But an honor or award? Thousands do the cert. You paid, you passed the course. Actually, maybe it’s not even relevant to CS. It shows some initiative, though.</p>
