European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL)

The ECDL is aimed at those users seeking to improve their overall understanding of the subject areas. You will need to have a basic understanding of word processing, the Internet and e-mail. Applicants are requested to attend an informal group discussion on the course.

The ECDL is an internationally accepted certificate. It certifies that the holder has knowledge of the basic concepts of Information Technology (IT) and is able to use a personal computer (PC) and common computer applications at a level of competence. The ECDL qualification will allow you to formally show your knowledge and competence using a PC. For example, office workers who want their skills using a PC formally recognised, will want to take the ECDL tests and obtain certification. Formal certification of computer competency is also valuable to employers to assess an employee or potential employee's skill.
