The ECDL is a certificate of knowledge and proven competence that is
based on a single agreed Syllabus. It certifies that the holder has
knowledge of the basic concepts of Information Technology and is able to
use a personal computer and common computer applications at a known
level of competence.
The ECDL consists of seven module tests which lead to the qualification.
The modules are:
• Basic concepts of IT
• Using the computer and managing files
• Word processing
• Spreadsheets
• Database
• Presentation
• Information and Communication
When a candidate registers to start the ECDL certification process
he/she receives a Log Book in which success in the seven tests is
recorded. When all seven modules are completed the candidate receives
the European Computer Driving Licence. The training materials comprise
of interactive software, practical tasks and practice tests.
The European Computer Driving Licence is an internationally accepted
certificate. It can simplify employment procedures and assure the
employer that the applicant and staff have the necessary level of
knowledge and competence to use common computer applications.
Achievement of this qualification is being seen more and more as the
standard by which employers can benchmark the computer competency of
both current and potential staff and by which staff can increase their
job prospects and future opportunities.
Key benefits for you as an individual are that it:
• Requires no prior knowledge of IT or computer skills
