Aim

The international success of the European Computer Driving Licence is evidenced by the high level of participation in countries such as Sweden, Ireland and Denmark where ECDL uptake is approaching 4% of each country’s population. Similar high levels of uptake are also being experienced in countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway, Austria, Italy and Hungary. World-wide, participation in ECDL has exceeded 1.5 million students representing the delivery of some six million tests. ECDL is currently the only Europe-wide basic IT skills accreditation scheme which has gained broad acceptance, with the vast majority of EU member states promoting the programme.

Course Content

The 7 ECDL Modules are as follows:

All but the first module are practical skills tests rather than examinations of theory. Tests consist of tasks chosen at random from a store of typical day-to-day computer operations. The guiding principle is reality; the licence is a definition of your actual skills.

Who should Attend?

The European Computer Driving Licence is for anyone who wants to certify their computer skills according to a pan-European industry standard. Large multinationals have already adopted the licence, setting it as the performance benchmark they expect from their employees. The licence matches the needs of both Irish staff and employers in its clear definition of essential computer skills. Having the licence opens the door to career opportunities and prepares you for full participation in the information age. Participants should have a basic knowledge of computers before embarking on this course. There is no minimum age or entry requirement.

Registration and Assessment

The European Computer Driving Licence builds around a special user-friendly skills card. This card records the skills you demonstrate in each of seven computer-related modules. As you pass each module successfully, the corresponding skill is noted in your card. The final achievement of a full card leads to the award of your licence. ECDL exams may be held on a different night to classes.
