How does ECDL work?
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 with us, 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:
• Basic concepts of IT

• Word processing
• Spreadsheets

• Presentation
• Information and Communication
