ECDL - European Computer Driving Licence

Overview

The European Computer Driving Licence® (ECDL) is the internationally recognised qualification which enables people to demonstrate their competence in computer skills. The record-breaking ECDL is the fastest growing IT user qualification in over 125 countries. WPM offer instructor led training in all ECDL Modules or an examination only option.

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. It is broken down into 7 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. The 7 modules that make up the European Computer Driving Licence are:

Basic concepts of IT
Using the Computer and Managing Files
Word Processing
Spreadsheets
Database
Presentation
Information and Communication
