The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is the European-wide qualification, which enables people to demonstrate their competence in computer skills.

The ECDL is designed specifically for individuals who are absolute beginners to information technology and wish to gain a basic qualification in computing. This will help with their current job, develop their IT skills and enhance their career prospects. No prior knowledge of IT or computer skills is needed to study the ECDL.

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.

You will be given a logbook listing all the modules, and as you pass each module your logbook will be signed. When all the modules have been successfully completed, the logbook is exchanged for a certificate.
