No. We recommend taking the Work Smarter with Microsoft Word course first as this contains a module that presents an overview of Microsoft 365 and the features available with different subscriptions. However, there is no need to take the courses in the order they are presented. The content in the courses don't build on information from earlier courses.
In short, no. Completing this Specialization will not earn you professional or academic credits. If you need to know whether a Coursera Certificate will count toward accreditation for a specific organization or program, please ask a representative of that organization or program.
