BHS STUDENT SUCCESS VALIDATED ONCE AGAIN

Bandera, Texas ● February 22, 2008

            Students enrolled in Bandera High School’s BCIS II students recently took the world’s only globally recognized, standards-based credential for validating desktop computer skills: Microsoft® Office Specialist certification.  Because Microsoft Office Specialist is the official Microsoft Office certification for desktop productivity, it is the premier credential chosen by individuals seeking to validate their skills and advance their careers.

            With the globally recognized Microsoft Office certification, students can prove their skills with ease. Whether they are looking for the ideal job, trying to advance in their present career, or pursuing academic goals, Microsoft Office Specialist gives you the tools to achieve more, distinguish yourself, and advance in today’s competitive academic and professional environments.

            Microsoft Office Specialist certification allows employers to differentiate and helps job candidates get hired. Research shows not only do Microsoft Office Specialists find work faster, they also earn up to 12% more than individuals who are not certified. The certification also provides a firm measure that validates Microsoft Office training and gives credibility and substance to work skills.

            At Bandera High School students that pass the test are given Advanced Measures for their degree plan. Many times, colleges recognize this certification and either wave a computer class requirement or give actual college hours for the certification. For more information about signing up for BCIS II in the 2008-2009 school year, please contact Mrs. Colleen Lewis or contact a counselor at the high school.
