Course Content
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.
Course Features
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.
Students can achieve a BCS Level 1 Certificate for IT Users, if they only achieve Modules 1, 2 and 7.
You have to complete Unit E if you wish to progress to the Advanced. Unit E requires the candidate to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of a series of theoretical elements such as legal issues associated with computing, health and safety and good practice.
