The European Computer Driving Licence is a level 2 course (equivalent to a GCSE) which is organised in the UK by the British Computer Society.

It examines skills in the following:

  • presenting information
  • word processing and
  • spreadsheets
  • improving productivity

The ability to use your computer’s software to a high standard is essential today, whether you are continuing to higher education or entering the workplace. Very many jobs today include some use of a computer; having a qualification in vocational skills will increase your opportunities.

On completion of the four required modules you will receive a certificate based on your total points scored.
