The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is the world’s most successful IT skills certification programme. To date, nine million people have undertaken an ECDL programme in more than 60 countries worldwide. In Ireland, the ECDL is administered by ICS SKILLS.
Outside of Europe the programme is known as the International
Computer Driving Licence (ICDL), attesting to its phenomenal
world-wide recognition and growth.
The ECDL establishes a standard for everyone who uses a
computer in either a professional or personal capacity.
It is a certificate that verifies competence in computer
use, making the holder readily mobile within Ireland and
internationally. Employers and job seekers all agree on
the importance of this standard definition of practical
competence in Information Technology.
The ECDL consists of 3 main components – a syllabus,
a skills card and a question test base, all leading to the
European Computer Driving Licence.
The ECDL in Ireland: Impact Study
In 2003 ICS SKILLS and the ECDL-F commissioned an independent report into the impact of the ECDL in the Irish economy. The study is the most comprehensive to date on the impact of the ECDL programme in a national market.
