Overview
ECDL / ICDL Advanced Programmes are high-level certification programmes made up of modules for those who have successfully reached ECDL / ICDL skills levels and wish to further enhance their expertise in any one, or all, of four commonly-used computer application types: word processing, spreadsheets, databases, and presentations.
What are ECDL / ICDL Advanced Certification Programmes?
- The ECDL / ICDL Advanced modules give candidates the opportunity to be certified at an 'expert level' in the use of the specific application type, acquiring skills sets over and above the routine features of the software. Prospective candidates should ideally have the ECDL / ICDL certification and/or previous experience using computers and common software applications.
- Each ECDL / ICDL Advanced module is a stand-alone certification. An ECDL / ICDL Advanced certificate (e.g. ECDL Advanced Word Processing) is awarded to candidates who pass each specific module test.
- Each module typically requires 30 hours of training prior to testing, although candidates may forego training if they wish, assuming they already have advanced-level skills. Each module is assessed by a one-hour test.
