BCS Certificate for IT Users Level 2

BCS Certificate for IT Users Level 2

The BCS (British Computer Society) Level 2 Certificate (ECDL Part 2), which follows on from BCS Level 1 for IT Users (ECDL Part 1), is designed to give a more in-depth knowledge and understanding of computer use for candidates wishing to gain a qualification. The qualification is made up of five units. Certain units of the qualification map directly to ECDL.
The programme allows students to progress at their own speed and to sit each of the 5 tests when they choose. Each passed test is recorded in the student's personal logbook (issued at the start of the course). After the delegate has completed the three modules they will receive a BCS Level 2 Certificate and the ECDL Certificate.
