APS is an associate-level certification offered Institute of the Finance & Management (IOFM), which demonstrates your understanding of invoices, payments, T&E, Automation, and other key financial functions. This course offers enrollment with or without a voucher. The voucher is prepaid access to sit for the Microsoft Office Specialist Expert Excel certifying exams upon eligibility.
