UPDATE ON THE 2020 MOS U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
May 18, 2020
The Microsoft Office Specialist U.S. National Championship is a special event for Certiport, student competitors, parents, and teachers, but the health and safety of everyone is our biggest priority during this uncertain time. Due to the difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the current travel and large group event restrictions, we are disappointed that we will not be able to recognize the hard work and congratulate the MOS Fall and Spring State Champions in person this year at this event. We hope that they understand the need to make this decision based on the current circumstances that are out of our control with the COVID-19 threat in the United States.
The 2020 U.S. National Championship is cancelled. However, we are excited to invite the 2019 MOS Fall Qualifier and 2020 Spring Qualifier State Champions to the 2021 Microsoft Office Specialist U.S. National Championship at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista in Orlando, Florida, June 21-23, 2021.
Initiations have been distributed to all 2019 Fall and 2020 Spring Qualifier State Champions to register for the 2021 U.S. National Championship. Additional information about the 2021 MOS U.S. National Championship will be posted on this website in July. We look forward to recognizing the 2020 and 2021 MOS students at next year’s event in Orlando!
If you have any additional questions, please contact us at moschampionship@pearson.com. We hope that you are staying healthy and safe during this time.
What is the MOS U.S. National Championship?
The Microsoft Office Specialist U.S. National Championship presented by Certiport, Inc. is a competition that tests students’ skills on Microsoft Office Word, Excel® and PowerPoint® (2016 or 2019). Top students are invited to represent their respective states at the U.S. National Championship. In some states, students are invited to participate in a Statewide Championship, and the winners of that event continue on to the U.S. National Championship.
Individual partners/states may have additional published rules.
MOS U.S. National Championship and COVID-19
**Amidst all the uncertainty with COVID-19, Certiport wants all invited attendees to be aware that we are still planning to proceed with the 2020 MOS and ACA U.S. National Championships. We are hopeful that the virus will be under control this summer, and that we can come together and celebrate the accomplishments of the incredible students. Any change or cancellation will be communicated immediately after a decision is made.**
