ECDL Training

The new ECDL 5 (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.

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.
