European Computer Driving Licence Introduction to the ECDL SyllabusCopyright ECDL Foundation The ECDL is based on a single agreed European Syllabus, as specified on this web pages. By having one Syllabus, the intention is to achieve a common standard and synchronise the different examinations. The overall objective of the ECDL programme is a general improvement in the basic knowledge of computers and a higher level of competence in computing throughout Europe. The ECDL is a European technology certificate for all European citizens. It is intended for those who need to, or wish to, know how to use a computer. It is suitable for people from every discipline and for people entering the job market, and for all ages from 8 to 80. Today, computer skills are increasingly important to people in all walks of life. The ECDL is a certificate of proven competence. The ECDL dissemination programme differs from most national or international education programmes, since it is based on a standardised test or examination instead of a standardised teaching approach. The importance of following the Syllabus must therefore be emphasised. A European Computer Driving Licence always certifies the same standard of competence, irrespective of a person’s nationality, residence, education, age or sex. The ECDL is awarded on the successful completion of one theoretical test and six Practical tests. European Computer Log Book (ECLB)The candidate will obtain a log book before taking the first test or be given one by the sponsoring organisation.A Log Book is an official document which is used to record the accreditation for each test successfully completed. As he or she passes each test, the Log Book will be updated. When all seven tests have been passed, the candidate (or test centre) will send the Log Book to the local ECDL office (BCS in UK) where it will be exchanged for a European Computer Driving Licence. The test can differ in form between countries, but they still have the same Syllabus and shall therefore accredit the same level of competence in computing. Only a person with a satisfactory knowledge level shall be able to pass the test. TestsNormally all tests should be completed within three years of starting and may be taken at any accredited Centre in Europe. The tests do not have to be taken in the same Centre. The tests may be based on software from any supplier. Some of the tests may have options depending on the facilities available at the Test Centre. Some of the modules may be taken together using integrated software where this is available. In order to maintain the ECDL standard all countries, Members of the ECDL Foundation, must have an authorised local organisation to monitor that the Syllabus has been used when creating the test. The education and examination methods can differ between countries, but the people responsible appreciate the need for a valid and well-defined examination process. They are responsible to ensure that test centres reliably operate the process. The testing must be reliable and only those who prove to be skilled and with the right level of knowledge will pass the tests. The process of awarding an ECDL will be audited by the ECDL Foundation to maintain the standard. Key Benefits
