The ECDL XP (European Computer Driving Licence) is a highly recognised qualification among offices, it offers the individual a key recognition of their competence and literacy in computer skills. The record breaking ECDL is the fastest growing IT user qualification in over 125 countries.
The ECDL training course involves key areas in the field of Information Technology, such as office applications like Word processors, Spreadsheets, Databases, e-mails and communication software. It also covers the basis of operating systems, explains the history of PCs and the internet, and also basic lectures on computer hardware. The ECDL certification training is designed for complete beginners and will get you to a high computer literacy standard, enhancing your career prospects. It's a perfect start for those people who have never used a computer or for those who have some computer experience but no formal qualification proving their knowledge or skills.
Today, one will need at least basic computer skills to be successful in the office. Without these skills one can be quite cumbersome in the office, limiting their roles and value. Not knowing how to interact with computers even at basic level is unwise when seeking employment or a promotion. Some employers or companies may not even consider you as a candidate without a reasonable level of computer skills.
Already over three quarters of a million people have completed or are studying the ECDL through any of the 2,500 Accredited Test Centres across the UK. Internationally, there are over 3 million candidates in over 14,000 Accredited Test Centres in some 125 countries. 98% of people completing ECDL would recommend it to friends, colleagues and family.
By gaining ECDL the staff in your company will become more confident and efficient in using computers, greater employee motivation, increased productivity and reducing time wasted on solving computer related tasks. An extensive number of companies in the UK have already set ECDL as the benchmark for computer skills, including NHS, HSBC and Sainburys.
The ECDL certification is split into two parts. Completing part 1 and part 2 lead to the full collection of qualifications. Unit E does not need to be completed to achieve the ECDL certification, but is highly recommended as it helps in linking all the topics together and puts them into perspective.
