e-CITIZEN is a computer skills certification programme from ICS SKILLS. The programme caters for those with a limited knowledge of computers and the internet and enables them to develop their ability in those areas.

The e-CITIZEN programme focuses on the candidate’s skills and knowledge in essential computer and internet use and gives them the confidence to participate in society as an e-citizen. The programme aims to make candidates aware of available online information and service resources from a wide variety of areas including: news, government, consumer, travel, education/training, employment, health and business. The candidate will be able to confidently interact with online service providers and carry out routine tasks such as buying a CD or book, paying a bill, banking online, completing a tax return or making a holiday reservation.

e-CITIZEN is a global qualification, developed by the ECDL Foundation in response to European directives promoting e-citizenship.
