Aims:
There are 4 advanced ECDL modules: Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Database and Presentations.
Each module is independent of the other modules and there is a separate certificate for each module. I tis assumed that the students who study these modules will already have acquired the skills set and underpinning knowledge contained in the corresponding module of the ECDL certificate, although the student need not have studies or passed the ECDL certificate. Prior to assessment for certification learners will be advised to take the pre-assessment under timed assessment conditions and submit this for review by the tutor.

Initially testing will be offered on the last Tuesday evening of each month. The time of the test session will be 1800 to 2000 hours. The tests will start at 1830 and last for 1 hour. The first and last 30 minutes are for pre and post testing procedures. Assessment will take the form of a one hour examination during which the candidate will require to carry out 20 tasks using the application package.
