European Computer Driving Licence
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.
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.
The qualification is made up of 7 modules:
Basic Concepts of IT
Helps you to feel comfortable with what makes a computer work by understanding what different objects are and the terminology used.
Using the Computer and Managing Files
Lets you explore the computer and the icons on your screen – this includes how to save documents… and find them again!
Word Processing
Learn the skills you will need to write documents and how you can make them look professional.
Spreadsheets
Develop the skills you need to do some ‘number crunching’ with the computer doing the hard work. You’ll also learn how to do ‘whizzy’ graphs and tables for reports.
Database
Don’t think about a database as a ‘techie’ tool. Many people already use one in one way or another – it’s just a way of storing information in an effective way. This module covers what databases do and how you can set one up.
Presentations
Create your own presentation templates and learn how to create animated slides, include pictures and everything else that can make a presentation look great. Don’t worry – you will be learning how to create templates and won’t need to get up and do a presentation!
Information and Communication
Gain the skills you need to use the Internet effectively, by using search engines to find information quickly and how to safely surf the web. This module also covers how to send and receive e-mails.
