ECDL

Overview

The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is the internationally recognised qualification which enables people to demonstrate their competence in computer skills. The record breaking ECDL is the fastest growing IT user qualification in over 125 countries.

ECDL is designed specifically for those who wish to gain a benchmark qualification in computing to enable them to develop their IT skills and enhance their career prospects. No prior knowledge of IT or computer skills is needed to study ECDL.

How ECDL works

The ECDL syllabus is designed to cover the key concepts of computing, its practical applications and their use in the workplace and society. It is broken down into seven modules, each of which must be passed before an ECDL certificate is awarded.

Once a candidate is registered at an accredited Test Centre, a logbook listing all 7 modules is issued. The modules may be taken in any order and over any period of time up to three years - even all at once - offering maximum flexibility. When all 7 modules have been successfully passed, the logbook is exchanged for a certificate and ECDL 'licence' card.

The seven modules that make up the ECDL are:

  1. Basic concepts of IT
  2. Using the computer and managing files
  3. Word processing
  4. Spreadsheets
  5. Database
  6. Presentation
  7. Information and Communication
