Adaptable Training Experiences

Effective curriculum that makes
the right kind of difference

‍

It's challenging to teach high school students the basics of computers all the way to advanced Word and Excel functions, while keeping everyone on track.

TestOut Pro Certified: Microsoft Library’s unique proficiency-based curriculum collection systematically builds critical-thinking skills using technology that acts like a tutor and is ready to help as needed.

• Engaging videos with interactive scripts and visual text lessons make learning more effective.
• Labs and exams are scored on correct answers, not on the specific steps or “click paths.”
• Students will get credit for the correct method they use, including shortcut keys.
• Simulations and Live Projects make it so students can’t lose files or cheat by copying, downloading, or sharing work.

TestOut is passionate about improving the lives of students. We’ve crafted this course to be enjoyable and effective for students with different learning styles and accessibility needs.

Progressive Practice Labs and Projects

Master skills & demonstrate proficiency

‍

Using a drill-and-practice learning framework with four types of labs helps students retain, over the long term, the skills they learn.

Skill labs offer guided practice on individual skills with positive feedback when tasks are performed correctly and provide hints if needed.  

Challenge labs are timed labs that offer some hints, but if a student wants a score, the task needs to be repeated without using hints. Students can review their speed on a leaderboard, motivating them to drill and practice to get the ranking they want.

Applied labs are timed, scenario-based projects that test students on their ability to connect their knowledge to real-world activities without hints.

Live Projects are scenario-based projects that are live in the Microsoft Office^® application.
