Overview: The
ECDL establishes standards for everyone who uses a computer in
either a professional or a personal capacity. It is a certificate
that verifies your competence, declares your computer skills, and
makes you readily mobile within Irish business and across the
Community. European employers and job seekers all agree on the need
for this standard definition of practical competence in Information
Technology.
The
ECDL (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. It dispels any
vagueness in your professed experience or in your job
specifications. Simply, you either have the licence or you don't.
Having
it opens the door to career opportunities.
Having
it prepares you for full participation in the Information
Society.
The
European Computer Driving Licence power-steers you into the
technological future.

Topics:
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.
All
but the first module are tests of practical skills rather than 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.
