ICDL - the fastest growing IT qualification The International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) is recognised as the world's leading end user computer skills certification program in more than 70% of the countries worldwide. Known as the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) in Europe, the qualification is governed by the ECDL Foundation, a non-profit organisation that provides vendor neutral certification, a media release said. As the global standard for end-user computer skills, ICDL maintains the same standards and requirements immaterial to country or location, providing identical qualification and recognition whether one takes the assessment in Asia, US or Europe. It is considered to be the fastest growing IT qualification, with over five million candidates registered in over 15,000 test centres. ICDL testing is fully automated where the result is known instantly. Test software and tests, managed centrally in Europe are subjected to stringent quality assurance measures. Testing is delivered through accredited test centres. In countries where there are large numbers, tests are delivered in the native language. Currently the tests are offered in 25 languages. The release said ICDL is the leading certification to be adopted by governments, international organisations and corporations alike. They include UN organisations, the European Union, National Health Service (NHS) UK, many Ministries and many multi-national corporates around the world. Many organisations have found ICDL to be very productive bringing excellent return of investment, eg., NHS, the world's third largest employer, experiences a saving of 38 minutes per day per person. |
