The ECDL, or European Computer Driving License, is an internationally recognized qualification in end-user computer skills.  It gives employers and job seekers a standard against which they can measure practical competence - not theory. Its seven modules cover the areas most frequently required in today's business environment. These include:

• Module 1 - Concepts of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• Module 2 - Using the Computer and Managing Files - Windows XP/Vista/7
• Module 3 - Word Processing - Micrososft Word
• Module 4 - Spreadsheets - Microsoft Excel
• Module 5 - Using Databases - Microsoft Access
• Module 6 - Presentation - Microsoft Powerpoint
• Module 7 - Web Browsing and Communication - Internet Explorer and Outlook

In addition to its application in business, the ECDL has a wider social and cultural purpose. With the proliferation of computers into every aspect of modern life, there is the danger that society will break into two groups - those who have access to computer power, and those who do not: the information 'haves', and the information 'have nots'.

The seven modules of the ECDL certification are not difficult, but they do equip anyone who passes them to participate actively and fully in today's information society.
