Pearson says it has announced the winners of the Certiport 2026 Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) World Championship. In a July 29, 2026 release from its Hoboken, New Jersey base, the company describes the event as a global competition that recognizes students from around the world based on performance in Microsoft Office Specialist certifications. Pearson says the championship is in its 24th year, highlighting what it describes as the role of MOS certification programs in preparing students for technology and workplace skills validated through Microsoft Office.
Multiple outlets, including PR Newswire and Financial Post, repeat the same core information: Pearson is the organization making the announcement; Certiport’s MOS World Championship 2026 is the event; and the competition recognizes international student winners tied to Microsoft Office Specialist certification credentials. Both releases reference the July 29, 2026 timing and the company’s ticker listing (FTSE: PSON.L), framing the announcement as the public naming of the world champions for this year’s competition.
