ECDL
The European Computer
Driving Licence (ECDL)
is the European-wide
qualification which
enables people to
demonstrate their
competence in computer
skills.
ECDL has major benefits
for organisations,
by:
- Raising the level
of competency in
computer skills
- Improving productivity,
efficiency and staff
motivation
- Providing a tangible
benchmark for competency
in computer usage
throughout the organisation
No prior knowledge
of computer skills
is needed to study
the ECDL. Staff who
are familiar with
parts of the syllabus
may wish to use the
program to supplement
their knowledge, fill
in gaps and learn
additional applications.
How ECDL
works
The ECDL
syllabus is designed
to cover the key concepts
of computing, its
practical applications
and their use in the
workplace and society
in general. It is
broken down into seven
modules, each of which
must be passed before
the ECDL certificate
is awarded.
Candidates purchase
a logbook listing
all the modules. As
they pass each module,
the accredited Test
Centre will sign the
logbook. When all
the modules have been
successfully completed,
the logbook is exchanged
for a certificate.
The seven modules
that make up the ECDL
are:
- Concepts of Information
Technology
- Using the Computer
and Managing files
- Word processing
- Spreadsheets
- Databases
- Presentation
- Information and
Communication (email
and Internet)
Why ECDL
is so effective
ECDL is not
like any other qualification
- although it utilises
the positive aspects
of the best.
It is fast becoming
the most widely recognised
qualification in the
field of work-related
computer use, because
it is targeted at
the full spectrum
of the population,
and because of the
support and monitoring
of the organisations
behind it, such as
the British Computer
Society in the UK.
